Ok... so maybe he is just what is best for me!
Jer and I got married quick... and young... and we are DANG lucky to have gotten it right! We picked the right people to marry. US! :)
I'm so glad I have him... he is a huge dork, which I love! He is cheesy and corny and always has me rolling my eyes and saying "You're funny..." He likes to take things people say in the way they didn't intend it just to throw them for a loop, makes me think and use my brain.
He cooks, he cleans, he changes diapers, he hugs me and pretends (really well, I might add) that I still have the body I had when we got married. He has good discussions with me about the pros and cons of things, understands when I don't agree with him, has never EVER called me names (nor have I ever done that... character assassination is simply not allowed in our house).
What I find most amazing is that he's even okay with me going to other churches and checking them out... he doesn't see it as an affront to him, he understands that some things have to be learned on ones own....and this from a man that has spent his whole life as an active member of one church.
Our marriage is based upon love, trust, and respect. I have never doubted his love for me, have always trusted him... even to the extent that if something seemed suspicious I would always give him the benefit of the doubt. He always tells me things he fears might look bad before I ever have an opportunity to ask. We respect each others opinions and ideas and understand we are individuals working together, not working to become each other.
I love this man, and wouldn't trade him if my life depended on it.

Um, yeah, I'm so going to comment on this. Do you realize how rare your relationship is that you have together? It's so satisfying to see two people making it together against all odds (because in today's society, all odds are stacked against you).
I'm so excited to see your love for each other so strong after all this time, your marriage is a wonderful example of hope and love and respect and trust. You will be an inspiration to many.
And I agree with you, Jer is a huge dork, but dorks pretty much ROCK.
What a sweet tribute to your hubs! You guys really are made for each other!
P.S.-We really should do something all together. It's been WAY too long.
You've got yourself a good man. And there aren't many good men out there! :) I'm just sayin'.
You guys are such a match! It's so obvious when you 2 are together!
You and Jer are awesome together. :)
And getting married fast is awesome too.
I'm so happy for you both, that you are still in love. Dad and I still are, too. Isn't it great?! When we were on vacation, another couple had jsut gotten married 2 or 3 days previously. I told Dad that when next anyone mentioned they were on their honeymoon, I'm gonna respond that I am, too! When they ask when we got married, I'm gonna tell them (month, day, and year)! The older I get, the more I realize that we have something increasingly rare.
