Through our ups and downs...In sickness and in health...
For better or worse...
...here we stand with 9 years under our belt today.
There are times that it feels like it's been days, and times when it feels as though it was a century ago.
But we made it. Two naive kids with nothing more for a love for one another, who could have seen what would become of us?
It's easy to give up and throw in the towel during rough times. It's not easy to stick it out and give it your all, especially when the other one of us wasn't so keen on keeping on...
I heard a wonderful piece of wisdom that came from a lady who had been married for 50 or more years, I can't seem to remember now. But the secret, when she was asked was so basic yet so profound. She said, "It's easy. We just never fell out of love at the same time."
This man that I chose, or who chose me, has allowed me to grow into the wife that I've become. Some days I'm not pretty, and some days I'm pretty hard to get along with, but he's stuck with me whether he likes it or not.
Happy Anniversary to my soulmate, my better half, and the one who still gives me tingles and butterflies after all this time....
I love you Baby!
