Real love.

Approximately 4 years 6 months and 20 something days ago JT told me that he loved me ( later in the day I returned the favor). 

I have NEVER doubted that declaration from the minute he said it. Seriously.I think that is amazing. Even when we were broken up. Or I was saying I was tired of trying to make things work or he was telling me how horribly I was treating him. Thick and thin. Our love was never the thing in question it was just all the details that went along with it. 

He gets up everyday and works so so so hard even when he is sick, tired, uninspired, bored, or just plain wants to be lazy. He does things he doesn't want to do because he loves US now. That's a big deal. I hate blogs sometimes for influencing me into thinking otherwise. Providing for a family IS a big deal. I want to remember that today and I want Miley to know that. When all the world is telling her that real love is roses, candy, kisses, presents, and trips. I want her to know that sacrifice, hard work,perseverance, and diligence are acts of love that will last a whole lot longer then a bouquet of flowers (don't get me wrong I love flowers ).

Jt is going to come home for lunch today... why? It definitely isn't easier for him. He will though because he wants to talk to me for a measly 30 minutes, and play with Miley for 10, and eat leftovers so that I will be less stressed about money. 

That my friends is MY real love. We don't have a notebook. He didn't chase me down at any airports. There was no fate or destiny. I didn't fall in love with him over the radio. We just wake up every day knowing that not loving each other isn't an option. I guess I just want Miley to someday read this and know that real life is way better then the movies and that you love the things the most that you work and sacrifice for.

maybe our 2nd picture together??
