Today is Robyn and I's 15 year anniversary.
It was a weird day.
We had plans on spending the day together. They had the vacation time, so they were going to take the day off.
Instead, they spent the day finishing up their last tasks for work because they were let go.
It's been terrifying. I now find myself as sole income for our household. Which means I spent the day sitting at the computer, trying to get a shop update out. To try and sell more yarn. To try and keep us afloat. I ended up with my third headache in two days.
We laid on the couch and cuddled as they clocked out for the last time. They ended up falling asleep on the couch, worn out from the emotional nuclear bomb the last couple months have been.
I made us dinner. Not anything special like I wanted. But it was good at least.
And now we're sitting at our computers, doing our usual Friday night routines.
They don't know I'm writing this.
This is actually my first post of 2021.
I hope you don't mind the rambling. Words are hard anymore.
We've reached the point where we've been together for so long that I have trouble remembering things from the beginning of us.
Life has blurred so much of it together.
But what I know is that I love Robyn more now than I did at the beginning.
I love how we've grown together. I love how comfortable we are with each other. I love our easy companionship and wordless understanding. \
And I love how much we still make each other laugh.
Today was a weird day.
But at least we got through the weird together.
Happy Anniversary. My husband I will celebrate 30 years this summer. We have found that recognizing dates is important, but we celebrate when it makes sense to, instead of trying to shove a feeling into a date in the calendar. You will feel like celebrating at some point, while the comfort and stability you have for each other is something to carry you through these rough spots.
