Life is Ruffly

When I was a little girl I used to love frilly dresses with layers and layers of ruffles.  I dreamed of the woman I would become and the life I would lead.  I dreamed of a fairy tale wedding and happily ever after.  I dreamed of being the perfect designer, home maker, wife, and mother the world had ever seen.  I dreamed of having the perfect career and oodles of money to spend on whatever my heart desires.  Well life is not perfectly ruffled dresses and fairy tale endings.  I have learned, however, that life is what we make it - ruffles and all!  I am married to my first kiss.  He was my first true love, and he is wonderful.  We have been married 4 years and 3 months, and it has been a wild and crazy life complete with many many ruffles along the way.  You see I married a man with Aspergers.  When we were first married I thought he just had a couple of funny quirks, but through each day I have learned that his quirks can be strengths even in the toughest situations.  We compliment each other, and the longer we are together, the more in love I fall.  This blog is my place to talk about everything that is going on in my life.  I will share my triumphs and failures all in an effort to be real and honest with myself.  Life is Ruffly - and that's the way I like it!
