Opposites Attract....

The old saying, "opposites attract" is pretty much "nail on the head" for us! Besides the "obvious," Jamie and I are opposite in every other way as well. When people meet us for the first time, almost every single person reacts with, "how on earth did you two get together?!" This question doesn't really have to do with the fact that we are black and white, okay maybe it does a little, but it is really because we are just soooo different from each other. Jamie is "Mr. ghetto fabulous" and I am "Ms. prim and proper"....or at least that is what people assume! Ha, little do they know. =) It makes us laugh when people don't get us! Don't get me wrong we have similarities as well.....we are both stubborn, strong, opinionated, and we are both Aries! Imagine those arguments....two rams butting heads! Luckily those are few and far between. =) The funny thing is, because we are so opposite we pretty much always come to the middle on everything. One of things we have both learned in all our years together is to just totally accept each other for who we are as individuals and the rest will follow for us as a couple. Never try and change someone, just embrace the differences! That is exactly what we did, and even though soooooo many people thought we wouldn't last, this year we will celebrate our 16th anniversary and we are stronger and more opposite than ever!

So cool how you two are so opposite yet get along so well. I always felt that was rare but maybe not!!
