Someone to know me.
Luke took me out to dinner tonight for our 5 year anniversary. Well, our 5 year anniversary that was 6 months ago. Time sure does fly, 5 and a half years ALREADY?!
People often speak of the honeymoon period where for those first few months of a relationship its all about impressing each other, making sure us girls have at least have a full face of makeup, or that our stomaches is sucked in at all times, you know, before he sees you how you really are. And then you get past the honeymoon period and you start letting yourself go. You start to feel more comfortable with being, well, comfortable - till sooner or later you find yourself dressed in your daggiest sunday wear, devoid of any makeup and stuffing your face with dry breakfast cereal out of the box. That is the type of state my relationship with Luke has come to.
Its funny how when you spend a long part of your life with someone they sort of become a part of you - almost like family. Its a great feeling to know that no matter how you look, or how honestly you talk about things (no matter how ugly the honest truth is) they still love you regardless.
Its so important to be able to talk to someone about anything, its true when they say communication is the key. And its not always about talking about things, its also about the other person understanding where you're coming from and then NOT getting offended! Luke is the most understanding and forgiving person I know. Sometimes its annoying because I'll come home and say "so-and-so said this to me, I am so mad - Grr!" and he'll say "Aww, they were proberly just stressed/tired/PMS'ed, dont worry about it." - Don't worry about it?! Geesh. Yes, I can be so stubborn sometimes.
Luke's also managed to decipher my mumbling - yes thats right, I mumble ALOT. And while many people still ask "What? What did you say?" whenever I say anything, Luke understands exactly what I am saying. We've even established our own language together, which mainly consists of grunts, hand gestures and words that begin with 'S' (such as 'stummy' for tummy, or 'snuv' for 'love').
But what I love most of all is that after all these years, he still manages to make me laugh out loud.
