What is love?

- The perfect UNION of two souls

- When you can't live without the other person

- A feeling of intense sexual desire and attraction toward another

- An energy so pure that it makes life want to happen

- When the destiny of two becomes one

Whatever it is that you may define love to be I can only tell you that it is one of the greatest feelings in the world. Especially when something happens to make you fall in love with that person all over again...

I am a thinker.. a dreamer.. a worrier.. a visionary.. I find great passion in all things beautiful... But like the old saying, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I find many different things to be very beautiful that many others would not agree with.... beauty to me is in The Sky. Clouds, Stars, The Sun, the moon, whether it be a clear blue day or storm clouds are brewing.... Beauty is in a clear Fall Day. Blowing Leaves against a gentle breeze in a large majestic tree... Beauty is in a single flower among a meadow of grass. Beauty is in the smile of your children. When they are completely happy and loving you. And Beauty is in the one you LOVE.

Wes and I have been together for 10 years this July. Married for 7 in October. And there are times when I fall more in love with him than ever before.

Our relationship was not perfect. We fought very very hard to be together. I really wish that I could erase the last 4 or 5 months of senior year because it hurts me to much to remember it. But that just tells me that we are worthy of being together. We earned the right to be in love and to be as one. But I don't want to remember that....

I want to remember back when we were best friends. Back when we did everything together. Back when we loved each other unconditionally but never told the other... I remember the first time we went to El Campisinos *which is our place btw* he leaned over really close to me that his face was almost touching mine... and I looked up and he looked away. How sweet...

I remember the time when we went to Kmart and got a slushie to share and then went over to Quonset Hut. I picked up the slushie and put it to my lips and took a drink of it, I was looking down while I did so to put my car in reverse... and Wes whispered to me that, that was "really sexy". And I looked up and he had a gleam in his eye and he was smiling that big beautiful smile of his...

Its funny now to realize how many signs did I need to have to see that this man was Flirting? I always had it in my head that no one would ever like me but Wes always made me feel beautiful. He always makes me feel special. And that is a big part of what love is...

This man will work all day long and will still go out at midnight if I ask him to get me a milkshake or an ice cream cone. He's the type of man who will see a book in the store I had been talking about and buy it and bring it home for me. He's the type of man who will see my favorite candy and bring it home to me for no reason at all, other than he knows that I like them. He's the type of man who will buy me fuzzy kitties because I love them even though he really doesn't like animals... and he's the man who gave me 3 stunningly gorgeous babies. With big beautiful eyes, silky soft hair, perfect skin, the longest eye lashes, kind and loving personalities, lovely lips, and incredibly intelligence.

I do just as much for this man as well... but that's irrelevant..

So what is love to me? Finding someone who is your best friend. Someone you aren't afraid to share your hopes and fears with... someone who will laugh with you, who will cry with you, who will understand when your hurting and will help you through it, The one who will understand you inside and out. Who will know when your angry and leave you alone. Or hold you close and let you cry on their shoulder. Who will see the best in you when your at your worst. Who will be your biggest fan and believe in you no matter what. Who will make you feel beautiful when all you feel is ugly. Who will understand your in love with Johnny Depp but their okay with that, and they just buy you all of his action figures and movies. When your friends can be their friends and that's okay, and if they can't, you come to realize they weren't that good of friends in the first place. This person will watch your favorite tv show with you just so you have someone to discuss it with when it's over. This person will suffer through a combination of 27 months of pregnancy, all together, and still would go out at 2 am because you had a craving for a peanut butter Sundae, they would rub your feet or back and listen to you bitch about how tired you are of being pregnant. But then they will be there from the minute that baby is born and hold and love them. And still take care of you. Help you to the shower and into bed. Help you change your bandages and put medicine on your wound. Take the baby so you can get some extra sleep... Feed them and change them and provide the best possible life they can for them. And even buy them brand new clothes even though your first baby has clothes that are brand new and never worn... And would gladly do it.

I am so happy to have found this man. And I love him unconditionally..... He is what love is to me....
