Eighteen

It was 18 years ago this afternoon that I was blessed to be able to marry this man.

And so I offer you this my love...

Today as I sit and remember the years we've shared, I know this for sure. Our love for each other today is far greater than it was the day we married.  I truly had no idea what to expect. We each have our quirks.  We've had many ups and downs along the way, but through it all, we have managed to stay madly and deeply in love with each other. Joyful experiences beyond measure have been shared. Frustrations have occurred.  We've moved...again and again and again.  We've become parents.  We've lost loved ones...we've gained new ones. We've had many dates. We've completed a few "half-hour" projects! We've put on a few pounds. We've even raised a few pets.  And all the while, our love grew.  Deeper. Stronger.  Eighteen years ago today, I married my best friend and I am so grateful that God brought you into my life.  

I look forward to what the next 18 years has to offer. It may not always be easy, but I know that we will always find ourselves "at home" with each others love and the grace of God to hold us together.

Happy Anniversary my love.
