my husband completely surprised me!

My husband and I went through a rough first and second year of marriage, financially and as a couple in general, we fought all the time and threatened divorce! We thought we weren't going to make it, in the first year we fought all the time and noticed things that drove us insane about one another like most couples do, but fought over petty stuff. 

Then we had our son around our 1 year anniversary things started to get better for a little bit but then we started to fight again especially when we lived with his parents for a few months it put a huge strain on us!we decided living with them was one of the main problems and needed to work on things in our own living space! 

I told him when we first got married I eventually wanted a 1 year band to celebrate making it 1 whole year. We didn't get it not just because of financial reasons but we didn't want to get something like that while going through a rough patch, we didn't think we would make it at all. 

anyway speed things up we moved out on our own again after living with his parents for 5 months and he graduated school with his bachelors and we started to work on things! I stopped focusing on all the negative and just started to focus on the positive he did! For example even if he didn't do the dishes the way I wanted them done at least he tried and did them. He focused on making me feel loved again and that I needed him to be there for me emotionally more. we stopped fighting almost entirely, It was like we got our old lives back and we became so much more close, we have such a solid relationship now! We had made it to our second anniversary last June and we were so happy! More than ever to be honest! We decided we would have another baby too, I'm currently pregnant with our second! 

Valentine's Day came up and we decided against gifts (or so I thought!) he said "babe I need your rings to get them cleaned I'm going to bring it to the jeweler today before work" my thoughts were that he was up to something; being a little confused since I've had my ring cleaned and inspected before I asked "why don't I just take the car and do it, cleaning and inspections only take 15 minutes then you don't have to rush to work..."

He said "no honey they called me and told me they were backed up from Valentine's Day the inspections are taking them a while so they are taking the jewelry and inspecting it and then we go pick it up after they've gotten to it"  

I was confused still but it wasn't worth getting into so I gave him my rings and he text and said "now don't be upset, you won't get your ring back until around the 9th!" I'll admit I was so disappointed and felt so sad without my rings they meant a lot to me.  Well he got a call  today and said " alright babe! Your rings are ready early!" We got there and I waited in the car When he came back he put the ring on my finger I couldn't believe my eyes! A second band! He looked at me with this look I have never seen before almost like when he proposed to me but deeper, he said "we have gone through so much in our 6 and a half years together and our almost 3 years of marriage; you've blessed me with two beautiful babies and I feel like I am the luckiest man to have you as my wife. Things were tough but we made it and I am so glad we worked though things together I am so lucky to be with such an amazing woman! Even though it has been more than a year this second ring symbolizes how strong we are and how we made it through such a tough time. There will be more I'm sure but I know we can and will get through anything and everything as long as we are together!" I'm not a materialistic person, I don't have a lot of nice things, I don't wear flashy jewelry in fact my wedding rings are the only expensive things I have. I told my husband he didn't have to get it for me and am truly in shock he did, I feel so lucky to have this man in my life and to be not just my husband but the father of my kids! He amazes me every day! 

If you are going through a rough patch with your SO and you feel that there is even the slightest hope; don't give up! Things can be tough and there are still things that drive me crazy like him leaving his pants on the couch, every day! Lol or how he puts things in the wrong place.....I love this man and I am so so lucky! In June we will be celebrating 3 years of marriage and I feel like doing back flips. ❤❤❤ I just thought I would brag a little bit lol sorry it's so long and thanks for reading! Please if you want share something your SO does for you that makes you happy :)
