20 birthdays. That’s how many we have celebrated together. We have lived more years with each other than without; it’s crazy to think about really.
When people talk about true love, the first thought is usually about a significant other. The person they dated for years, married, and intend to have children with. While that may be true in the way of matrimony, what about the people who have been there for you before your significant other walked into your life? What about the one who held you in the car when you got dumped by a guy you really liked, the one who dances with you at concerts and screams the lyrics of your favorite songs, the one who you can take off with on a random adventure and not be scared. What about the person who tells you like it is, someone who isn’t afraid to say “he’s bad for you”, someone who will talk sense into you getting married too young because there are too many adventures to be had (I know you’re LOLing at that one haha). Yeah, it’s true…we may fight once (maybe twice) every 20 years, but truth is we can’t live without one another and we wouldn’t want to.
So what’s our secret? How have we managed to celebrate 20 birthdays together? Well, God is always the center of our relationship, we are honest with one another, and we don’t allow other people to come in between us. We are genuinely happy for one another, we lift each other up, and we celebrate successes.
I hope you have the most wonderful of birthdays. I hope that every candle on your cake grants you your every wish. I pray that we celebrate 20 more birthdays together, many years of adventure, and continuous amounts of laughter. You deserve to have all of your dreams come true; just know that I will be behind you every step of the way.
To my blog parter, travel buddy, prayer warrior, and best friend… Happy Birthday!
