Cest la vie said the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

this post is inspired by a post on BB, made by the lovely Mrs D. Scruffy. (and her wonderfuly DH's birthday and 17 years of marraige)

DH and I have been married two years come 27th of November. two babies in that time. and a whole lotta shite in a middle.

When we started dateing i was in year 12. about 4 or 5 weeks off being 17. (so 16) and i met DH while working at subway. we'd been friends via Email for a few months. when i broke up with a then boyfriend i was talking to a girl i worked with and explained how i felt towards DH she made a comment that well...made me go out with DH - "bah, you like him go out with him. its about YOU guys and not your friends. be happy with him" and i listend to her and here i am now. Mrs DH! haha. I lost *all* of my friends when we started dating. almost got kicked out of school - thanks to me shoving a former best friend into a wall; which i was most proud i *did* punch her in the face, she'd have a concaved nose. but he stood by me. he delt with the repocations of an abusive relationship on my end. and my depression. the self harm that came with it. after i finished school i kept on with a chefs apprentiship, which DH delt with the fall out from that - depression and the start of angsiaty - thanks to the bitch i worked under. he also got to walk down the street with me - while i had a sexy black eye and an eyebrow glued back together after an accident. ironicly with a shirt saying "its only illigal if you get caught" bright idea wasn't it? LOL. but we plodded along. my BIL and SIL made a point of showing their dislike for me not long after i turned 18. they claim i dont like them after DH forgot (due to anti depressants he was on at the time) to put my name on their engagment card. to the point the first 4 nights after i turned 18, i staied over at DH's having my licance and all it was brillaint. they didn't think so, so an A4 sheet of paper had a note written on it - telling DH and if i was to stay over (he was renting his brothers house...) they needed to know and i could not stay over on a wednesday night 0_o due to SIL staying over. yup, two people 7 years older then I chucked a tanty over me staying over at a house they where *never* in, it may have also been over the fact i cared more about "their" cat before she died after being hit by a car Ohh and maybe due to me staying over and 'alone' in the house one day when we bought Bella muss home and i didn't have tafe and wanted to keep and eye on her and Cougar muss. but eather way they showed they didn't like me. but i got my own back (in a way) when DH bought our current house and asked my mum, aunt and nanna over to our new one (thinking we'd have finished moving) only to have them come and help do a final clean AND my dad rock up to boot to help move our bed. the look on SIL's face seeing me, mum, auntie, nanna and dad all walk out was priceless. i think BIL got the idea of how imporant/close my family was when at mine and DH's wedding DH thanked an aunt and uncle for flying down from muldura for it (a thursday wedding!) at such short notice.
but other things happend to cause more of a rift there. over the christmas i was carrying DJ - SIL did not say one thing to me besides "do you know if its a boy or a girl?" after DJ was born we had arrange to see them for them to meet DJ - not the other way round. they had a minni tanty about DH not texting them when DJ was born. they didnt bother wishing him a happy 30th birthday so we call it even.
and now after a semi "nice" patch meaning christmas last year they bought DJ a small toy and his birthday the same. they didn't come to my 21st (pfft never thought they would) but they slapped me in the face by giving us a card for Vics birth - but addressed to no one. now they're expecting their first but i cant bring myself to be so cold hearted as them. no once again i'll be nice. but any whoo.

in the two years DH and I have been married i've spent 18 months of that UTD LOL. we're getting there. we have our ups and downs as every cuples have.

we have talked about going back for #3. we'er not 100% sure yet but its a maybe...
