A beautiful bouquet of flowers was delivered to me today. The card said, "Happy first date/proposal anniversary." The lady who delivered them said, "Did your husband really propose on your first date?!" No...just on the same day, one year later. And 11 years after that date, 10 years after the proposal, we're still very much in love. We NEVER could have imagined what our life together would look like - if we could have had a preview, we probably wouldn't have dove in so fast and furious at the tender ages of 18. But we have proven that we can tackle anything together - and come out stronger on the other side.
We were talking the other day about all that we've tackled in these years together. Ok, strap on that seat belt...
One apartment, three houses, 10 vehicles, 8 career changes (between the 2 of us), two LONG pregnancies and beautiful children, family illness gone wild, two dogs, and a partridge in a pear tree. Aren't we a text book story?
Thank the Good Lord that my husband had "The Feeling" and loved me enough even before he knew I'd love him back to act on it all those years ago. I can't imagine my life any other way.
