			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tony informs me it&#8217;s been too long since I&#8217;ve posted anything.  He&#8217;s usually right <img src='http://www.darkstorm.co.uk/grete/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />   A year isn&#8217;t long is it?!  It is?  Bugger <img src='http://www.darkstorm.co.uk/grete/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Tony and I are fine, the cats are insane but great and make us laugh daily with their antics &#8211; (I so wish I could draw, I&#8217;d make a webcomic about them).</p>
<p>We just celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary (10 years?!) and usually we are doing well if we both remember the month let alone the actual date <img src='http://www.darkstorm.co.uk/grete/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />   So it was nice this year to both remember and we did the card thing.  Then Tony made me cry by ordering me a gorgeous arrangement of Roses with a Helium Balloon and *gasp* CHOCOLATES!  Best. Husband. Ever!  I don&#8217;t think he expected me to burst into tears and then blubber all over him but that&#8217;s the price he pays for being awesome to me <img src='http://www.darkstorm.co.uk/grete/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Just a few words on marriage (have a snooze if you want) <img src='http://www.darkstorm.co.uk/grete/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Over the years it has not been plain sailing.  My mental health problems have caused a lot of grief for both of us (mostly for Tony coping with a very sick wife) and my self-destructive tendencies could well have ended it for us.  Tony stuck by me however, through everything me and my illness threw at him, until I realised I could trust him implicitly and no matter what I went through, he would be right there supporting me.  That&#8217;s not to say he didn&#8217;t get angry at times, at being helpless to &#8216;fix&#8217; me and watch me hurt us both in my messed up determination to make everyone hate me as much as I hated myself.</p>
<p>As my treatment progressed and I was able to mature a bit (OK a lot), it got easier to deal with and as my understanding and attitudes towards myself changed and I calmed down, I hope he began to see a lot more of the &#8216;real me&#8217; rather than the &#8216;sick me&#8217;.</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t have done any of it without him and I hope I am there for him as much as he has been there for me.</p>
<p>*soppiness alert &#8211; this is not a drill*<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">I love you Tony, thankyou for the last 10 years, be mine always? <img src='http://www.darkstorm.co.uk/grete/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span><br />
*soppiness alert over*</p>
<p>In other news, I have to say a HUGE congratulations to my sister and brother in law on the birth of their third child &#8211; Welcome to the world Charlie!  I got to meet him last weekend and he is SO cute and has MAD hair <img src='http://www.darkstorm.co.uk/grete/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>That&#8217;s about it for now, will try to blog again before another year passes <img src='http://www.darkstorm.co.uk/grete/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
