Jackpot!!!

I hit the jackpot with my wife. I made the decision to marry based on limited information, in a social environment that is totally different than the one we're in now. But somehow, by the grace of God I ended up with her.

I never really could imagine being joined in life with someone like I am with Annie. She really is a part of me. The whole is no longer me.

Sometimes people become different when you live with them and enter their "real" life. Annie is not this way. She is the real deal. She has her quirks that we laugh about, but her quirks are the sweet things that remind me that this is all real.

That reminds me when we did pre-marriage counseling. Our marriage counselor thought that Annie may have cheated because we came out so compatible. Who would have guessed? I sure didn't for the four years I knew her without thinking about her romantically.

I think happiness is about making the right big decisions, and not sweating the small decisions. With one of the largest decisions of my life to commit my life to Annie, I am very, very happy.
