Someone pointed out to me recently that I don’t write about my marriage much. It’s true, and I think it’s because it lacks drama. Things between us have always been good, even after seven years together. I have no complaints: my husband adores and respects me, as I do him. We rarely argue seriously, but playfully bicker constantly because we love to tease one another. We have many inside jokes because we have the same sense of humor and think alike.

The best part is that I’ve always been 100% myself in Joe’s presence. I can’t say I’ve ever felt that way with anyone before him. There was always a degree of holding back for fear of how I’d come across, but with my husband I can be my dorky, crazy, anxiety-ridden self and he loves me all the same. It’s a beautiful thing.

I probably should write about our relationship more just to balance out all the sad relationship stories I come across online, but I almost feel like it’s a form of bragging and I don’t like making people feel bad about themselves or their situation. It’s that whole Catholic guilt thing I need to get over because it’s not my problem if someone else can’t be happy for me, right?

Anyway, I will share a cute thing my sweet husband did this morning.

I woke up and was laying there for a bit when I put my hand in his and he started stroking it in his sleep. He was not awake whatsoever. I relayed the story to him later and he didn’t have a clue what had happened.

Ok, now you can say, “awwww”. :)

    Katie and I have been known to do similar lovey dovey things in our sleep. Happens quite regularly.

    And you don’t need negative drama in your relationship to post about it from time to time. Katie and I are proof of that, aren’t we?
