Today is the day I said I DO to my sweetheart.
Neal and I have fit a lot of living into those 9 years!! Just like the vows say. GOOD, bad, BETTER, worse, sickness, HEALTH.
Marriage is romantic, beautiful...and a lot of WORK! When you're young, love is about flowers, and romantic dinners. I still get the flowers occasionally (usually because it's close to a Chinese food restaurant). I'm not complaining though!!!
I get what I need everyday from this wonderful man. A kiss good morning, a call in the afternoon to check on the girls and I, and when he is next to me at night I feel like I'm home (I could live without the snoring though).
When married for nine years with 2 small children some days it's hard to focus on what brought you together. That is where the work comes in. There are days when I feel like running, but I don't. I can't stay mad at this man! He is so much a part of my life that I forget I'm mad at him.
Even though romantic dinners and flowers are not as frequent the romance lives on. This man I said I do to nine years ago today truly knows me. Good, bad, better worse, sickness, health, till death us do part. Now that is romantic!
Happy Anniversary to my sweetheart, the best is yet to come.
Love,
Janice
