Day 1 - My Relationship

Day 1 seems to be a few days later then expected, but still here.  My relationship?  Is a pretty good one.  I have been married to the love of my life for almost 7 years now.  We have been together for 13 years, and we have been friends for about 18 years.  Ian and I are good and bad for each other all at the same time.  I always laugh when I really take a look at us and see what opposites we are.  We disagree on politics, color palettes, and where things belong.  But when all is said and done we agree on the major things in life; how to raise our children, how to treat other people, and how to treat each other.  We met in Jr. high water polo and according to him I was the scary big girl that could kick all the incoming freshman boy's butts.  While it is probably true that I could kick butt, I was no where near as big as he seems to remember, although I did have an inch or two on him.  I can't say that we had an instant friendship because that would not be true, but it did develop over time.  By our senior year in high school we were more then acquaintances, but nothing like best friends.  I guess you could say that love blossomed after high school once Ian grew a few inches and put on a little bit of weight.  We started hanging out on a regular basis and by a yea rout of high school were a couple.  We have been Ian and Bri ever since.  We have been through so much together and honestly I can't imagine going on life's journey with anyone else.  He can drive me crazy some days, but overall I think we are the best match for one another.  I push him to do things he would never even think about without me, and he keeps me from going into an emotional upheaval every other day.
