17 years...

Yesterday was our 17th wedding anniversary. Wow. It's so hard to believe that two kids who knew virtually nothing have been able to make it this far. I am very grateful to God for putting Adam in my life and helping us succeed. I have to give Him credit because I literally had no idea at the time what I was doing. lol Nineteen is very young. I see that now. The passage of time has a tendency to reveal these lessons. That's what life is all about, right? Living and learning. What have I learned? Life is short and passes quickly. Something that only living can teach you. That lesson really hit me hard when my dad passed. Gone in a blink. It has helped me understand that so many things are not important enough for us to be fighting about and losing our joy over. Just like in parenting, you have to choose your battles. 
I have also learned that my husband is an amazing man. He has grown into such an incredible husband, friend, and partner to me. Not to mention a great father. I am blessed indeed. I really could not ask for more. 
So, thank you my dear husband for seventeen wonderful years of marriage. Here's to many, many more. I can't wait for the rest of our lives!!
