A Good Man

I realized after multiple blog posts that I haven't talked about the most important person in my life.  Sean is an amazing husband in so many ways.  We started dating November 5, 2001 which means we have been together almost 10 years!  Sean and I met our senior year of high school while working at Colton's Steakhouse.  I asked him on our first date (although he will dispute this) and the rest is history.  I will definitely say our journey together has not been easy, but it has definitely been worth it.  From senior prom to graduating from college to buying a house together, we have essentally grown up by each other's side.  I know Sean will be a great dad because he has been irreplaceable to me.  I would say the most challenging time in our relationship thus far was when I became sick in Summer 2007.  We had just gotten married in May and by August my body was so stiff that I couldn't get out of bed.  We didn't know what was wrong and I seriously contemplated dropping out of law school.  Throughout this time Sean did everything for me:  he dressed me, combed my hair, and helped me do simple things like walk down the stairs.  It wasn't until October that I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.  Not only did my husband care for me physically, but he kept me from becoming depressed.  We had a circle of family and friends praying for me, and I know now that God had us get married when we did for a reason.  This trial brought us closer together, and it made the remainder of our first year of marriage a piece of cake.  Now we are taking the next step in life, and I know our baby will have a kind, strong, and loving father.  I am also so proud of Sean today because he just made big progress in his career, congratulations baby!
