Describe your relationship with your spouse.
I thought I remembered that this one was going to be easier than the last one and I was so right. Describing my relationship with your father is one of the easiest posts that I will ever make.
To give a little background, your dad and I met when he was living in California and going to college and I was a nanny in Connecticut. It would have been difficult for us to live any further apart and live in the same country. We met online back when it wasn't the norm to meet that way. We started off talking once in a while and it grew into talking every night online and then talking on the phone for hours and hours. I learned so much about your dad during that time because we talked about everything. We could talk about everything from the smallest insignificant thing to important issues, from the past to the future and everything in between.
When we met face to face, it was perfect. Your dad's smile warmed my heart and the way he treated me made me certain that I loved him and that he loved me. We spent almost the whole weekend together and I knew that I wanted to be with him forever.
We were together for six years before he moved to Wichita and we started living together. My parents weren't too happy about that idea until they realized that we weren't planning on stopping there and they realized that your dad was the perfect guy for me and fit perfectly in our family. Living with your dad is so easy. He loves to eat whatever I cook because his mother didn't cook for him much when he lived at home. He is very relaxed and laid back, but will do whatever needs to be done. We can do things or just hang out and do nothing and I still love spending time with him. We like watching the same movies and TV shows. We like doing the same things when we go out. Being together feels so natural and right for both of us.
We aren't very exciting people. We choose to hang out at home together a lot. That doesn't mean we don't ever go out or spend time with friends, but our first inclination is to just hang out together. There is no one else that I love spending time with more than your dad and he feels the same way about me.
Your dad has always been in my corner, no matter what I am doing. He has supported me through everything: the years we were first trying to get pregnant, the time when I decided to make huge changes in my life, the day to day stresses of being a middle school teacher, the years when I was working on my master's degree, and the day to day decisions and choices that I make. He is my comfort when I am sad. He is my joy when I'm silly and happy. He takes care of me when I don't feel good or am hurt. He keeps me from being too serious, but understands why I am serious about some things. He is silly with me when that side of him rarely appears to others. He has broken me of some of my worst OCD habits, but doesn't fight me on too many of the remaining ones. He keeps me from worrying too much about everything and yet worries about me whenever I'm not feeling well or am hurting. We rarely argue about anything of importance because we agree on most things. We have silly arguments about things we don't really care about - like whether we were going to name you Kal-El or not (yes, that was your dad's idea!). We love watching sports together, though your dad is into more obscure sports than I am. I like football, basketball, track, swimming, and gymnastics. Your dad has gotten me to where I don't mind watching baseball, but he doesn't stop there. We are addicted to superhero movies - your dad, as you probably already know, is a Superman fanatic.
We certainly aren't perfect, but we are perfect for each other. After years of not really believing that we were going to find true love, we found each other and through years together have developed a love greater than we ever thought possible.
