LEO The Lioness

There it is.  The infamous picture.  Our story is always an incredible tale and I've actually gotten to the point where I enjoy telling it.  No embellishments needed.  She changed my life and I can honestly say that I wouldn't have it any other way.  No marriage is perfect, but we work through all our issues, like her obsession with makeup.  I finally relented and agreed that she needs a makeup room.  Compromise.  It's necessary in a relationship and we have it.  We do everything together.  If she's not going, I'm not going.  Today being her birthday, I feel like I have to spoil her.  I enjoy spoiling her.  It makes my day and it also a challenge because she can be particular.  But I love it.  I also love the way she not only accepted my baggage, but helped to carry it.  When we met, I was cautious with my personal life because I was expecting judgment.  Imagine my surprise when there was none.  I'm the happiest I've ever been and she is the main reason.  When we got married, we always said we would spend 50 years together.  Even after that, I still won't feel like I deserve her.  Every man wants that person that makes him feel like a King.  But we also need that person who is a Queen.  I didn't feel like a King until I met my Queen.  And I love the way she gravitated towards the Princess, Amiyah.  I couldn't ask for anything else.  I had no intentions of being that guy who only talks about his wife, but I am now.  There is no better feeling that being able to brag about your wife at every turn.  "Your wife is so pretty."  "I love Shay."  "You guys are our favorite couple."  "I'm glad you brought her into our family."  These are real statements about my wife.  Happy Birthday to my better half.  Life is good.
