Real Life Bloggy Stuff: Meet My Husband, my Other Half, my Lobster <3

in #life7 years ago

We met the week after we turned 19 (our birthdays are 6 days apart). It was a pretty intense 'love at first sight' kinda thing (don't argue with him about that, he'll never believe it was anything other than love at first sight!)

In spite of the instant 'Love Bubbles' and all that, like a lot of teenage relationships, it didn't last. We then spent a few years apart ~ discovering that we definitely had that something special together ~ so we got back together, eloped in the midst of what can only be described as pure unexpected chaos... and now we have been married for almost 24 years and raised 5 kids together.

All of that is just crazy to me! I'm surely not old enough to have been married that long, or have that many grown kids, right? ;) I am in the works of writing some of our 'love story' for a February post series, because we have quite the interesting story!

He’s the crypto geek-pro in our house at the moment, working together on his own investments and crypto-education. He's also working together with our sons and they are all gaining more experience and interest every day. He’s a fantastic writer and has a lot of good information to share, so you should check him out. His Introduction post on steemit is HERE

He's also starting to post some of his creative writing as well and seems to be doing pretty damn good with his first fiction post, A Disaster of Stupidity

This guy is definitely my rock and my stability. He's so much better at that part of life than I am in SO many ways.

He has always been amazingly supportive of my crazy ideas and adventures (writing, directing and producing plays for the local community theater/homeschooling/traveling the country, living on a bus and selling my painting-on-motorcycle-skills). He's been tirelessly supportive of my unusual parenting choices, life choices... all of it.

He’s the techie to my artsy, the book smart to my common sense (hey, he said it first!), the solid one to my flighty, emotional self.


He’s helped me work through a huge array of issues, often times just the two of us. He’s sailed us down through Florida, through the Bahamas and to the Dominican Republic after convincing us to move onto a sailboat for a while, even though none of us had even been ON a sailboat before (that was his adventure that we supported him on!)

He is my lobster, an amazing dad to our children (and that is something I never had in my life growing up), supports them in all of their crazy endeavors as well... and he's just a pretty incredible guy.

He’s the one who discovered steemit when he was in the midst of trading cryptos and convinced me to give it a try… and has been nothing short of supportive and encouraging of that as well.

He spoils me ALMOST as much as he spoils my dog (it was my dog… but eh… that's a whole different story ;)

What a delightful life story!

Thank you! We have had so many adventures, I feel like we've already lived three lifetimes!

I feel like that about my life, too. I have seen and done so much!

That's wonderful, though! We're living life to the fullest <3

Wow sounds like you've got quite the hubbie byn! Looks like y'all have created quite a life together. I hope I'm still as explorative and adventurous as y'all as time passes.

I'm excited to read his post...30 BTC for a t-shirt!? Jesus, he must have been in this for awhile lol

I definitely feel very fortunate to have this man in my life. Not that we haven't had our struggles and our ups and downs, but he's my other half and I can't imagine living such an adventurous life with anyone else I've ever known!

And yeah, I think you might enjoy his posts... he's a great writer with some interesting insights!

Touchwood.Beautiful photo collages😊 and loved your old longer hairstyle!

Thank you! I always love having long hair, but I hate doing anything with it, so (like right now) I have longer hair, but I always have it up in a bun or a pony tail... except for the rare event of a photo! :) Still, putting it up is still easier than trying to style short hair, so it will probably stay long for quite some time yet!

A perfect steem family. Few more years and grandkids will be steeming too :D

Lol, thank you! I am still waiting for my last few kids to get their accounts verified and all that and we'll be one big happy steemin' family!

so glad to have met both of you through these pages!!
