Hearts and Bones
Well, it's the anniversary of the best decision I've made in my life today, and I'm basking in the happiness of the moment.
My lovely wife, Amena, and I have been together 6 years today, and we're still in love with each other.
Although I know I got the better end of the bargain, she still hasn't chosen to get rid of me. I think she lost the receipt anyway.
I do believe that we're stronger together now, and have learned a lot from each other already. We're struggling with the demands of my schedule, and missing each other so much, but we're in this for the long haul.
She knows that she's my only light and love, but I'll say it here again in case she happens by.
I hope that wherever God has our paths planned for the next 6 years it finds us even happier and closer to one another.
Amena's mother asked her the other day how a girl that grew up drawing hearts on everything could end up with a guy fascinated with dark things, death and skulls and bones.
I suppose the easy answer is to chalk it up to opposites attracting.
Although I'm not a disciple of zen, I tend to think we're more like yin and yang. We achieve perfect balance together, because even though she's bright and beautiful and giving, there's her dark, mischievous side. At the same time, even though I appear to be under a cloud, with flashes of violence and anger towards the whole world, she is where I show my tenderness.
Although this day has special meaning for us, we spend each one making our feelings for each other clear. We may not be a textbook happy couple, but then again, curriculum always needs to be updated...

Congratulations Jason. It is never easy being in a relationship. But if you work at it, it is always rewarding.
My wife and I had gone through some tough times at the beginning of our relationship. But in the last year we have really put things together, mostly due to her making some big changes in her life that was for the best of everyone. Now we are a month or so from having our first child, and we are happier then we have ever been.
Your last paragraph of the post is what it is all about. Celebrate those special days, but celebrate your love everyday. And it doesn't matter how it looks to the rest of the world. As long as it is right for the two of you.
Here is to many, many more happy years together!
"Brunette" thank you very much for your kind congratulations. I never imagined that I'd actually get such a nice sentiment from someone I've never met.
I gave a look over your blog too. I noticed that you favor audio posts. I don't think anyone would want to hear my voice. You had a link to a Philly guy blog. That's practically around the corner from me. I was curious whether that was a random thing, or perhaps you aren't a Californian native...
Hey, thanks, Scott.
Congratulations on your upcoming bundle of joy!
I know that my situation is so odd that even I question it, and I've heard criticisms throughout most of my courtship and marriage from a lot of unexpected places.
The bottom line is that the only person that I need to be in sync with loves me, and when we're together, we're about as happy as Adam was post rib-ectomy and pre-produce mistake.
Thanks for the encouragement and support...
