One important thing that I did not showcase on my blog or elsewhere is that on December 6th, was my 23rd anniversary to my husband, who I have also been with for 24 years. When we got married I was 19, but I had graduated just after turning 18, went to basic, AIT, and was shipped overseas for a year. Of course I met my husband when I was in Korea. To tell you the truth I was never really in any relationships before this time, so you would probably assume because of me being so masculine. I mean I think my high school friends would have thought me to go the chick route, but nope.
We got married in Doña Ana county, by a female judge, and we were laughing the entire time. The way that we were dressed was just in our everyday clothes. The next year is when I was married traditionally by my uncle Roy. This is where I was dressed in a traditional outfit, that was white and my husband had a nice velvet shirt, dockers and the traditional Navajo bandana on his forehead. Although he is Mexican, he has accepted the ways in which I live. Eventually he would get to be like us, but overall it’s been a bumpy ride.
People need to realize that marriage takes work, it is not a walk in the park and at some points you or your spouse begin to lose that sense of wanting to stay with each other. Sometimes trust is broken, but overall we fight to stay with one another, especially since we are the opposite and our crazy matches each other. We have broken each others hearts, plus I had some of my friends telling me that it won’t work because Nick ended up getting my name tattooed on him. They told me that these relationships don’t last very long. Well it’s been 24 years together and I still love my husband, for better, for worst, through sickness and health. I have done all of those, it is all about how people look at their relationships.
