10 Years–Is That A Long Time?
Today is our 10th wedding anniversary.
We are not the same 2 people that walked down that aisle.
We are not the same couple that walked back up either.
Those 2 people thought that they had already known pain, That they had faced hard times. That couple thought that their future was about them.
And then were was that couple from year 2, and year 5, and year 7, that kept thinking they had it all figured out, or that it couldn’t get worse than this, or that it couldn’t get better than this, or that this was all there was to it, or that they’d finally gotten the hang of it…
They were so wrong.
And I’m glad.
Because we’ve got 50 or 60 or so more to go and I hate to think we already have it all figured out and nothing new to look forward to.
I think that’d get rather dull, don’t you?
“And if I had it to do all over, I’d do it all over again. And if tomorrow I found one more chance to begin, I’d love you, all over again.” ~Alan Jackson
Happy Anniversary!! You were a lovely bride – I can’t imagine wearing short sleeves in December 🙂
Right?! We planned a lovely December wedding…I was imagining a light dusting of snow with pictures of flakes settling over us. I even had plans for a hooded cape, etc. Ha! December in Virginia–it was 72 degrees. No cape. And my dad got us a horse-drawn carriage for the ride from the church and I was perfectly comfortable in the open air with no sleeves. Our pictures look like we were married in June! 🙂 It was beautiful, but not what I had originally order for the day. (Aren’t brides silly like that!)
Happy Anniversary! I agree with aurie! Short sleeves in December?! How beautiful!
We are on 22 years and like you we have thought we had it all figured out… many times. Then the Lord lets us know that we must lean on Him and not ourselves.
You have been blessed with a wonderful family! Congratulations and may there be many many more years!
22 years–What a wonderful testimony! I think we might have worn some of the rough edges off, but part of me still feels like we’re just getting started too. 🙂
Happy Anniversary and many more!
Thanks–and thanks for coming by!
Happy Anniversary! You look like such youngsters in that picture! WOW!!!! Can it really have been 10? Enjoy it! As you know…it flies by!
I know–I look back and think WOW, we really have changed! We looked so young! 🙂
Love that photo…have it in my album! Congrats…
Hard to remember when we were all that young! Sometimes I still feel 22 and sometimes I feel 122! 🙂
Happy Anniversary!! I can’t believe it’s already been 10 years! Here’s to many, many more!! All the best to you and Mr. Fix It
It’s a long time and several houses ago between the two us, huh? 🙂
