She Waited & Prayed Among the SAND, MOSQUITOES, CROCODILES!

When Rita asked me to write about how I met my husband, the first thing that popped into my head was the sitcom 'How I met your mother'. It’s in its eighth season and the guy is still waiting to meet the mother of his children. I guess some relationships are a bit like that. There’s a lot of waiting.  Waiting for the right person, waiting for him to pop the question, waiting to have a family, buy a house – it goes on and on.

 I won’t go into the finer details of how I met my husband. He is shy of the spotlight. Let’s just say it was here in North 
Queensland and included sand, beach, boats, mosquitoes, and 
a few crocodiles. In spite of the tropical setting it wasn’t perfect 
by any means. We had a long wait to happiness.

This year we have been married ten years. In this time I have 

also learned other things you can choose to wait for: 

*   Waiting for your partner to change, (never going to happen)

*   Waiting for your lotto win, (not much chance of that ever happening either) 

*   Waiting for a better relationship, (possible, but needs work and sacrifice)

I think the big deal in my relationship isn’t how I met my husband; it’s how wonderful it is that we are still together. It shows me that if one is willing to wait, and pray, miracles will happen.

Thanks Rose. This Aussie author writes about the tropical north we'd all love to visit, let alone live there!

(I wonder if Rose ever had a close encounter with a croc?)
