Clay and I met on Oct. 31, 2008. He asked me to marry him on Jan 16, 2009, but he formally proposed too me (Lunch, Rose Petals, Chocolate covered strawberries, Candles.... THE WORKKS!!!) in May 2009. On Oct. 22, 2009, we were married. We have had quite a few ups and downs in five years of being togethe but one thing has remained the same, Our love for each other. Well actually, I guess that hasnt really remained the same because It has grew stronger and my love for him is certainly not as immature as it once was. Thereve been times when weve both had to walk out of the room because we felt like strangling each other, Dont worry, that hasnt happened....(yet). Thereve been times when I felt like I could knock him out, and trust me, Im not the easiest person to deal with, so Im POSITIVE hed say the same. He has loved me when I didnt even love myself. He has believed in me when I felt like I couldnt go on. I always said that I wanted to marry somebody and stay together forever. I know in todays time thats not very popular but Im so thankful that God saw fit to bless our marriage. I have never had to worry about him leaving me, cheating on me, or not loving me.... He has loved me when I was at a normal weight.... and even now when I resemble a hippo.... lol! He has never once made me feel ugly.. even when thereve been times that I didnt even want to look in the mirror because the person staring back at me was not somebody I even recognized! He is (other than my Da, Bobby Jennings Sr. ) the only person that Ive ever really been able to break down and cry on and he just holds me and I dont have to say anything because he can hear the words thats unspoken. I dont have to put on a strong front in front of him because he knows when Im hurting and hes help me to realize that I dont always have to be strong. In four years of marriage, Ive learned that I dont always have to be right and Its ok to say Im sorry or I made a mistake... Ive learned that I dont have to worry about rejection from him because he loves me unconditionally so its ok to let my guard down and fully trust him with my heart because hes not going anywhere. Ive experienced some of the most beautiful moments with him... Like when our boys were born and we got to hear their first cry together, and we got to just Oooo and Ahhh over the beautiful little creations that God gave us, theres nothing more beautiful than the moment a husband and wife share when those babies are born. I got to kneel beside him at our bed last year, as he received the Lord as his personal Saviour. (That was definitely a moment to remember!)...... I thought when I married him that I was giving him all the love I possibly could, but I realize now, I was wrong. Marriage just gets better with age and time..... I guess Im just rambling now, but I would like to wish my husband, Clay Hughes, a very Happy Anniversary! Thanks for being such a good provider for our family and for the being the best dad to our kids... and the best husband too me! You are far more than I could have ever hoped and dreamed for and I hope to have many, many more years together! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!
