Melificent

Ten.

Tomorrow marks 10 years since my husband first turned to me and said, “I guess we are dating now?” It’s hard to fathom that our relationship has been going strong for a decade. People reacted so negatively when we first began dating, saying that we were too young to talk about a future together and that we would eventually grow apart. Granted, our relationship has not been all unicorns and rainbows. There were a lot of bumps along the way that would have definitely pushed apart most, but we soldiered on and I have a feeling we always will. Relationships are not easy, they are not smooth and effortless despite what Pinterest quotes may lead you to believe.

I think the movie, Crazy Stupid Love (which made me cry like an asshole), summed it up best:

I should have fought for you. Because you fight for your soul mates.

I will never stop fighting for you, Agustin Lovio Sanchez.
Happy anniversary baby. To our past, present and very bright future together.
I love you.

Happy Birthday, Melificent!

It’s hard to believe that Melificent is 3 years old today. Where has time gone? I remember making the difficult decision to move from a private, locked Livejournal account to a public “big girl” blog. Little did I know how much of a creative outlet it would be, not to mention therapeutic. It’s been an amazing ride, as always. I want to thank all my readers (old and new alike) for supporting the blog and always providing such a positive environment. I’d also like to thank all those amazing bloggers that inspire me on a daily basis to work harder and provide more quality content.

Overall, what I have learned the most this past year has been to be true to myself on Melificent. It doesn’t matter what blog posts what. This blog is mine. And I will post whatever I’d like. Not to mention that sometimes, it doesn’t hurt to get a little personal. So thank you, all of you, for another wonderful year.

The best is yet to come.

It’s hard to believe this was snapped 3 years ago.

Three years ago, I woke up feeling happy, excited and anxious. But mostly so incredibly lucky to have found someone I could call not only my lover, but also my best friend. Someone I could trust with all my deepest, darkest secrets. Someone that loved me for who I truly am, not who I’m supposed to be. Someone that understood me better than my own flesh and blood. Someone that made me realize that love is real, and sometimes it hurts and knocks us down, but it is the one thing in life worth living for.

Agustin Sanchez, thank you for coming into my life and for making me the happiest girl in the world.
Me and you, just us two. <3

Two.

meliaugi-26Two years ago, I was getting married to my best friend, my true love, my everything. It was by far the most amazing day of my life and if I could, I would choose to groundhog-day-it over and over again. Thankfully, those strong feelings of warmth and love I experienced the day of have not yet subsided two years later.

I am extremely lucky to be married to a person that loves me for who I am, faults and all. Someone that knows me better than I know myself. Someone that would sacrifice their own happiness for mine. He is the person I trust. The person that makes me feel safe. The person that can truly make me smile, inside and out.

Happy anniversary, my love. I am truly the luckiest wifey.
