When I was little i would watch all the princess movies and say that was how I wanted to be treated. We all did it. I was going to grow up and my boyfriend was going to kiss me in the rain and buy me flowers and hold my door open. I grew up and fell in love with the complete opposite.

He isn't Prince Charming.

He doesn't send me long sweet paragraphs every morning, and 15 kiss faces every night. He doesn't run to my rescue every time something falls apart, or kiss me in the rain. He sends me goofy messages to make me laugh when he knows i'm feeling down. The one is race with in Walmart parking lot in the pouring rain just to lock me out of the truck and laugh at me while i get soaked. He's fun and crazy and he makes me feel like i'm on top of the world.i'm so thankful he isn't a prince... how boring would that be?

He is perfectly imperfect.

Okay, I said he wasn't prince charming... but sometimes he still takes my breath away. Have you ever had somebody give you the last bite of their food?? ROMANTIC. haha, but really! He makes mistakes, and so do i. But at the end of the day, he makes me feel like the most beautiful human. he's my number one hype man. i could send him a selfie at any time of the day and he would hit me with a "woah baby" every single time, even if my hair was in a towel. He tells me he loves me and makes sure he shows it... what more could a girl want??

He's never, not once, given up on me.

I don't say that lightly.. i mean he tried to date me for four years. I blew him off for four complete years just to end up right where i knew i would end up. Four years, Three relationships, Twice blocked and unblocked and a deployment later, he didn't give up.... not once. He's the guy that would walk through oceans and fire to make me happy, without calling it quits or backing out. we've had our fair share of bad days, but he never tried to run.

He's hard on me, he tells me what I need to hear.

Let me just tell you, i am the most hard headed person on the face of the planet. I will argue with a wall if you let me long enough. He knows. But he knows that i need to know. I need to know when im being just a tad too sassy, or when my crazy is starting to show. And boyyy will he tell me i need to stop. He tells me when im being to hard on myself and tells me when i need to "chill". He is the perfect balancing beam i needed in my life.

He is far from prince charming, but he is the most perfect imperfect person i could have ever chose.
