My husband is awesome
28 May 2010
Tomorrow, Ben and I will have been married for 6 years. I’m blogging on Girls, God, and the Good Life today about why my husband is awesome.
One reason that I neglect to mention on there is that Ben keeps me up to date with the world outside McKenna and my office. Especially if it involves Twilight or Muse. In this case, the e-mail I received from him yesterday involved both. He sent me this music video for Muse’s Neutron Star Collision which is featured on the Eclipse soundtrack. There’s clips from the movie mixed in with Muse doing their thing. (I like to think that Ben also sent it to me because the song makes him think about us … although I already chose him, so that doesn’t really apply, but the other stuff could.)
So, if you’re not in the mood to read about how much I adore my husband, you can check out the music video and this post won’t be a total loss.
From Girls, God, and the Good Life:
Simply put, my husband is the most amazing man I’ve ever known.
Tomorrow (Saturday) is our 6-year anniversary, and it’s left me contemplating how important it is to marry right.
Ben and I met on a church retreat during the first week of high school. While we’ve had our fair share of problems – including a breakup that lasted our entire junior year – for the last 13 years we’ve been there for each other. Sometimes Ben was there for me when I didn’t even deserve it.
This is likely why all my books have a strong romance thread, because that was my high school experience. We were engaged at 17, married at 20, and pregnant with our daughter at 23. The marriage and the pregnancy didn’t seem to bother anybody, but the “engaged at 17” part freaked out a number of people.
After six years of happy, healthy marriage, strangers are always like, “Oh, that’s so romantic to have gotten engaged so young!” At the time, however, hardly anybody viewed it that way.
Here are 3 reasons why I think Ben and I work:

Went over to read the full thing, and I gotta say here as well as there that your photo there is SO GORGEOUS. He looks all Regency-hero, and you look all porcelain and angelic and perfect. Love it. =) And happy anniversary!!
On a more serious note, why do people freak out at early engagements? We got quite a lot of horror at 17 too.
