Yesterday was our 9th Wedding Anniversary! I am pleased to report that we are more in love and feel more passionate about each other today than we did the day we got married. Now how many married couples can say that? I consider that a huge success & thank God for blessing our marriage so tremendously.
I have a very hard working husband who does everything he can to make me happy. The mutual respect we have for each other & the laughter we share are both priceless to me. While our relationship is not perfect, we have the understanding that a marriage takes work & you get out of it what you put in. Most importantly, we acknowledge that there is no "out" available. This ensures our future together & continuously strengthens our relationship's foundation. I'm so glad I can trust him with my heart and that he trusts me with his.
With that said, I can hardly believe it's been 9 years already!
I don't feel old enough to say that I've been married almost a whole decade. But...we did get married young. I was still 19yrs old (5 days before I turned 20).
OMGs, I'm going to be 29 in 4 days!!
I must admit that 9 years ago I pictured my life at this time very differently. I thought I would have my degree by now and that we would have a couple of children running around. Life sure has a way of re-routing our planned paths, doesn't it? Through all the detours & U-turns & road blocks, the Lord has molded my character into a form that I wouldn't have recognized a decade ago. I am thankful for that. Oh sure, I have days that I wake up hating the state of my life, but when I look at the overall picture, I have to thank God for the spiritual blessings. I have grown so much in His Word & understanding His ways because of the things I have been through. I sure wish I could understand what's going on right now, but I know that will come eventually. I typically understand After the trial is over...Hind-sight is 20/20, after all.
We're facing some big issues & decisions right now. I'm not sure which way we will go or where that path will lead, but I recognize this is one of those major forks-in-the-road. The thing I do know for certain is that whatever path we take, we'll take it together. That gives me peace. So, we'll see what happens next...
Oh and we spent our Anniversary relaxing on the couch together almost all day. LOL Don't Judge! Travis needed a stress-free day. ;-) Ok, & I like to be lazy sometimes.
Dinner: my wonderful Husband brought me Flowers & Nami's Sushi--SO YUMMY!
And tonight, we went to Walmart in Lampasas to purchase an Anniversary/dual-birthday gift for ourselves...A Swimming Pool! I'm so excited--The temp is in the 100's already! Travis is gonna set the pool up this weekend & I can hardly wait!
