All About My Imperfect Husband
Korin Banks

Truth be told, life is hard. It is never ending with trials, tribulations, and insanity left and right. Some days you can get through without blinking, other days you can't blink hard enough to make it go by quicker. Most of my life I spent just trying to get through it, instead of cherishing it, with good reason.

Now I have this beautiful family and marriage that I love more then anything. I have had what one would consider a bad week, I've got more then half of my immediate family with health problems. Including myself. So It is nine o'clock on a Friday night and I realize I haven't even thought about an article. Not a word of anything. Writing is really important to me but life is overloading so I text my husband. I say "Im screwed. What do I do?" He, only half joking, says "Write about my awesomeness." So I am going to.

My husband isn't like some men, who are super romantic and says all the right things at the right times. Truth be told he isn't like the men who even try to think about it, and say the wrong thing. He is Robert. He does everything he can in his own way. You tell him to go left then right, he will go straight, then take a hard right just to get you to see it can be done a different way.

He is sarcastic, and has a twisted sense of humor. He sees things so differently then the rest of the world. Of course after almost a decade together, I've picked up on some of these things, just like I know I have rubbed off on him, which he will never admit. He has helped me learn how to better balance my life and myself. That's what a husband should do.

Pinky promises are our most sacred thing. He won't leave me to use the bathroom alone during a scary movie. He helped take care of my terminally I'll mother, and even gave a beautiful speech at her funeral. He loves to do the most in appropriate things anywhere and everywhere. He will say he doesn't care all the while figuring out a way to help you anyways. He will mind his business better then anyone I've ever met, but he will tell you the absolute truth about everything without thinking twice, even when you don't want to hear it. To call him my best friend would be an insult. He is so much more then that. He makes everyone a better person for knowing him. I promise you that. If you ever get the chance to know him, don't because I am a crazy over protective wife. But know that is just as awesome as he says he is. I hope everyone on earth finds someone to be for them, what he has been for our family.

Happy six year anniversary, I'm late but you know, lateness is my thing. You are a better husband and father then anyone I know. I appreciate you, I love you.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
