Eight Sweet Years


Today Mr. Me and I celebrate our eighth year of marriage and we keep looking at one another and saying: Where the hell did time go?

That and: I think it's time to trade you in for a younger model.

:)

When we married, we were young and people couldn't understand why. They all had their own opinions, one being that I had to be pregnant. Another was that we were making a huge mistake.

This is where I laugh in their faces.

While marriage isn't a piece of cake; it's full of hard times, bad times and embarrassing moments. But this marriage, my marriage, is worth every second of good and bad. My marriage to my best friend has evolved so much in the last eight years and significantly since the birth of our daughter. We're not the same people we were eight years ago, we're better.

We've grown separately as well as together.

We've learned so much together that we think we just might know what we're doing.

:)

In eight years, we've traveled, we've experimented, we've become a family. A strong family that knows what's important.

I couldn't be more blessed and today I'm nothing but smiles.

Congrats to you guys!! My hubby & I were young also & will celebrate 8 years in July. We are so incredibly happy & we have a fantastic relationship. I would be the 1st to say that marrying young is not for everyone, but it worked for us & I'm happy it worked for you guys also. Keep laughing in those "doubters" faces. They have no clue!! : ) Congrats again!
