It has been awhile since I have posted here, but I thought this is one I wanted to be sure to make the time to stop and write.
Today is my 13th wedding anniversary. It seems weird to me sometimes that I have been married 13 years, I don't quite feel old enough to have that many years under my belt. :) When Chris and I got married we were basically just kids...I didn't think so at the time but in reality we were. When we got married you have this vision of what your life will be like how great and magically marriage will be, we can thank good ole romantic movies for that. When you are in a marriage, yeah life is great, but then life is not so great at times. Over the past 13 years we have had some really great times and some not so great times. But the key to a marriage I think is that you realize that and just because you are going through a bad time doesn't mean what you have is no longer good or worth fighting for. I read a really good quote that said " A great marriage is made up of 2 really good forgivers". I loved that the moment I read that because it is the truth. You have to be willing to forgive each other in order for your marriage to survive.
I consider my marriage one of the biggest blessings I have in my life. I have loved and grown with Chris over the past 17 years(including dating). We have discovered our dreams together, made mistakes together, MOVED alot together, had two beautiful girls together, cried together, laughed together and supported and encouraged each other. He is my best friend who knows me better than anyone else. I am thankful for the man he has become and will continue to be. He seeks God first in all that he does, he is a wonderful father to our girls. Loves them and does anything for them.
I am so thankful for the life God has given to Chris and I and for all the ups and downs we have gone through. God willing we will have many more years of love between us!
