So, nine years ago this happened:
For a long time in my twenties I didn’t think I would ever get married, that anyone would want to marry me. I wasn’t emotionally stable and I had no clear idea of what I brought to the table. Through dating Ash and then marrying him, I discovered all my strong suits. I also figured out where I was weak and where he stepped in. This manifested itself more and more as this happened:
And that baby was a game changer for us. But it also made us stronger. So we decided to make another one:
I got really used to our family of four. It was perfect. And as the boys grew, things got so much easier.
We grew as a family and learned how to coexist in (mostly) peace. But then, my wonderful, loving husband convinced me that we needed just one more. Just ONE more…
So here we are, nine years later. We have done so much in this period of time, it would take days, maybe weeks for me to recount it all. But it’s been magical and I can’t wait to see what keeps coming. Next year, at 10, we’re going back to Hawaii and it is going to be amazing!
Congratulations! You have a wonderful family!
Oh this is such good news congratulations
Congrats and happy anninversary! Your 10 year plan sounds awesome. I’d love to go to Hawaii someday. Love the quote at the beginning-so true! Marriage is such a learning process, and it really helps to be forgiving!
