What's Love got to Do With It

Funny how challenges can change how we think .
When I first started baking I had several thoughts going through my mind.
The chief ones of course being... I'll get bored with this & I might not even stay with this guy.
Seriously.
I am a procrastinator by nature, and I get bored very quickly.
Was I being  honest with myself? 
I mean, OK Ha Ha.. I baked a couple of pie to win the love of a guy, but 365?!? 
Why would I commit myself to such an arduous task?
Yeah well.. I know why.
I fell in love .
 I  announced it right away;  impulsive as always.
He's the love of my life. I might not have realized what I was saying at first but, yes  I truly felt it in my heart. 
Hey.. maybe  I might finish a project?
Anyway....
He dared me, bet me, made a joke..whatever you call it..it was a good bet.
Even if I never marry him after this journey, at least I can say  I was willing to follow through.
I don't know why but all this seemed like a pretty good idea at the time.

So my guy bet against me. (knowing me like he does)  
BTW  He has known me for years.
I imagined he thought..
"She'll  get bored &  give up, and  never even  get close to 365, maybe drop all  this silliness."
But I have made 174.

Through thick and thin we are who we are.
Pie is just pie.
 Real commitment takes time and  hard work and sometimes a little meanness.
I think we make a great couple.
We can get kinda mean and  sarcastic, along with all that mushy lovey dovey crap.

We don't talk much about marriage these days,
We are living together.  Maybe that's good enough..
for now.
