13 Years....and We Are Still in Love!

I cannot believe it has been 13 years since we said "I Do." At the time many people said we were too young, we would not make it, etc. etc. Although we have had our fair share of ups and downs, here we are 13 years later and more in love than ever before! When we were in marriage counseling, before the wedding, the pastor told us marriage was not 50/50.....the way he put it was that sometimes it was 90/10, sometimes it was 80/20, sometimes it was 50/50, but no matter what the ratio was at the time it was how you handled it that made all the difference. Another thing he told us was that your marriage is something you NEVER stop working on, when you do is when it will fail. This is SO true. When I look back at our 13 years, the times we had "problems" were times we took each other for granted or stopped working. Thank goodness we both realized it and started "working" right away!
In 13 years, God has blessed us in many ways! We have adjusted our lives from college students, to starting our careers, to parents of 1, to parents of 2, to living the busy life of parents of 2, to now surprisingly going to be the parents of 3! We have been through the exciting time of the many "firsts" in our marriage, first house, first child, first car etc., so now we are very much looking forward to what God has in store for us next!
I am so blessed to have such a hard worker, loving, caring, understanding man to call my husband! I am thankful to God each and every day for bringing me to him. Although, when I left home and headed to Oklahoma I never thought it was for good. But I would not change it for the world!
Happy Anniversary Honey!! Looking forward to growing VERY old with you!!
I love you very much!
