I have been married before. When I was 18, I married AJ's father, but that didn't last. I have dated and co-habitated with other people since that time but, for a multitude of reasons, those relationships did not work out either.
I met Adam at a factory where we were both employees. He caught my eye right away. That was 1996, and AJ was still an infant. When I finally left AJ's dad, Adam let me come home with him while I saved money for first and last for my own place. Over the years he and I were kind of on-again, off-again. I was away for a couple of years, and it didn't take too long for us to start seeing each other once I returned. That was 2004. We finally found a place together in April 2005, and have been together ever since.
Since we are not married, we don't have what you would call an anniversary. We came up with the idea to celebrate our original moving-in date, which was April 1st. So this has become our "live"-iversary. But we love each other so much and are very affectionate every day, it feels like a "live"-iversary every day. I know that sounds corny, but it's 100% true. My heart is with him, and my home is with him. I feel lucky every day of my life with him. That's the way it should be for everyone.
