I'll never forget little gems like good ol' Betenoire busting FZ's chops for being a hunter. "Cows are dumb, so it's okay to eat them."
I remember watching him chat with brite about mental illness and feeling this weird sensation of jealousy, even though I told myself he was too far away, and the Internet is no place to meet someone.
I remember the thread on how to properly flirt and how reading his posts made me blush.
I remember when we first told people we were together, but Thumper and brite weren't even surprised.
This place is responsible for the most important relationship in my life, and tomorrow, we will be celebrating our tenth anniversary near the Seneca Rocks of West Virginia, in a honeymoon cabin all to ourselves. There's a heart shaped jacuzzi, and a fully stocked kitchen, so we don't even have to go out if the weather is crappy.
We're going to cook together and be grateful that we didn't just find a spouse - we found a best friend. On our wedding day, as my mother was doing my hair and I was hyperventilating, she said to me, "It's okay. If it doesn't work out, you can always get a divorce." I am so incredibly grateful that ten years in, I'm not the least bit interested in divorce. I'm busy hoping I live long enough, with this lovable man, to have been with him longer than I lived before meeting him.
There's a lot I could bitch about regarding my life. It has been a hard fucking, ten years. But I wouldn't have wanted to go through the shit with anyone else. He makes me laugh when everything is falling apart around us. I make him want to live (or so he tells me).
You guys have been here through it all, so it seems appropriate, to me, to share our joy with our online family. We've been married ten years, and our relationship is stronger than ever!!!!
