Our 12th Anniversary

July 16, 2005 Bill and I stood in front of our parents, families and friends and promised to love one another throughout all times-- good and bad.

Over the last 12 years, we have been through many ups and many downs. We have seen the birth of our 3 children. We have experienced vacations that refreshed our souls. We have had many happy times. We have been through job losses, pregnancy losses, sicknesses, surgeries (gall bladder, hysterectomy, kidney stones, etc.). We have moved several times. We have been through a ton.

Honestly, life right now is going at break neck speed and there are a lot of obstacles that we are facing. But I am so glad that I have Bill as my partner. Yes, there are times that we don't agree. Yes, there are times that we have different priorities. Yes, there are times that we drive each other nuts. But at the end of the day, when we go to bed, we know that we are in this wild ride together and we love one another and that is the main core of our relationship. So on this, the 12th anniversary of our marriage, I would like to take this opportunity to tell Bill that I love him a lot and look forward to many more anniversaries to come!
