So I was planning on writing about marriage today before the Supreme Court made their decision this morning.
Getting married was one of the best things I ever did. Despite being young. I will encourage my children to be much older when they get married then we were. I say 25 is a good age. Anyway, today is our 14th wedding anniversary. It has been quite the 14 years. In 14 years we have lived in two homes. We have four children. Seven pregnancies. 8 motorcycle trips. We have gone through countless jobs. We have each lost a parent. We have accumulated one associates degree, two bachelors and one masters degree. We have way more student loans then I like to talk about. I have gone through four cars and Lee two motorcycles although he has only had one car.
Marriage hasn't always been easy and there were times when I have been tempted to throw in the towel and spend the rest of my life sitting on the beach somewhere. But at the end of the day I love the stability of marriage. There is something about the security of having Lee and knowing that he can't just bail with out legal action. :) Lee told me early on that divorce wasn't an option and it never has been for him. I am grateful for that.
I believe that love is one of the things that will last through the eternities and I am so in love with the fact that Lee is with me FOREVER!
I am so blessed that my parents were such a good example. 45 years of marriage.
