I am slowly becoming a baseball fan. I’m not sure if it is the joy it brings to my family, the fantasy league (that I am currently winning ) or the fact when you watch something so much you just start to like it? I even suggested that we go to a baseball game for our upcoming anniversary, even though I still have my stipulations that we can not go to a game in the middle of the St. Louis, feels like your floating in soup, hot, humid summer.

That was until I witnessed a 20 inning game. TWENTY INNINGS??  I even fell asleep for about 2 hours and the game was STILL on.  It was insane. All in all a pretty boring game, after all I DID fall asleep,but here my husband sat faithfully watching and continuously cheering on his home team even when it seemed hopeless.

That is when it dawned on me. He is more than just a supporter of his team. He is a supporter of me. I’m sure the shopping trips or long conversations about who knows what or the hours I spend on my guilty pleasure reality shows, he finds just as boring as I found the long 20 inning game.  We don’t always agree on what show we should watch, where we go or what we should talk about, but we support each other. I know I can go to him for anything.

I believe this is based on the fact that he is my best friend. We knew eachother for 8 years, had been together for almost 5 when we got married. We had LOTS of time to get to know eachother and become friends which lead to an amazing relationship. TIME is important, even if it feels like a never ending 20 inning game. And always be supportive, it really can be the game changer!!
