10 years and counting

js and i have been married for 10 years as of friday july 13, 2012. he's put up with me for a very long time. ;) we've been through a lot, had many ups and downs and have gotten through all of it together.

there have been times that we've wondered if we would make it to 10 years (or whatever year may have been closest) but we pulled through the rough patches to get to the good stuff. the three years on the west coast while js was in law school were pretty rough for many reasons. but we tried and succeeded and worked through as a couple. sometimes it felt like we were roommates and may have only seen each other for five minutes a day but the reward is knowing that he is going to be there when the going gets rough.

some of the ups were challenging as well but they made us stronger as a couple and as individuals. we have grown from our experiences and have learned and are learning what needs to be done in the future.

last year for our anniversary i wrote a list of things with a corresponding number for the number of years we had been married. i didn't do that this year. i wanted to do something else but still haven't done it until now. (js reads this every time i post something and brings it up after he's read it.)

js, i love you to the moon and back. i will always love you. you have pulled, pushed and prodded me, and us, through some rough and not so rough times. you have always been there when i've needed you. i hope you can put up with me for a lot longer than 10 more years. so here's to 10 years and counting! i love you!
