Well 17 years ago walked down a little church wedding with around 100 guess on a very hot day .. four brides maids and groom men . my Dad walked me down the isle and my parents gave me away .. Really what that mean . lol nice big party after . this story started 5 years to that day before as i knew my husband 5 yr to day before marriage .
So let be honest not sure how we made it this far and if we make it to the end . marriage is not easy every day .. well daily lively easy but long term seems harder . i do love my life and what we have together and share together but i wonder sometimes is it enough and what will happen in 10 or 20 years from now .. i know my husband would say dont worry about tomorrow and maybe i shouldn't . i know tho for us we get tied up in daily living and forget to be grateful for what right in front of us .. last year we tried to change a few small things but didnot really change anything and got back to living daily crazy life of raising four children .
i would not change a day up today as i am so grateful for our children and the life we have for them . (ok ok so what we do on 17th wedding Anniversary. ) i spent in Mankato with the girls playing ball and husband spent in mound with oldest daughter playing ball . thats what we done last five years at a ball field . we did go to dinner tonight with a gift card my mom gaves us .
so darling husband went out Saturday morning before we all had to leave and got me coffee , card and flowers . it was very sweet .
his card says "for our anniversary i got you this card that 'll remind you of me ........... (turn over doesnot open)it doesn't do what it is supposed to do either ....................
Cute card! Congrats on 17 years! Marriage is a committment--I never really understood that until I experienced the trials and temptations to get out. Life is not always easy and combining 2 lives is even more difficult.
ReplyDeleteWe drove by the fields in Mankato last night and I thought of you--- and you were really there this weekend!
