Happy Anniversary, Baby.

Fifteen years ago today I was very nervous and uncertain about what the future might hold for me.  Will I be happy?  Will I have children?  Will I live in Atlanta forever? Will this work out?


Through the years those questions have been answered.  Yes, I will be happy.  Yes, I will have three wonderful children. No, I will not live in Atlanta forever. Yes, this WILL work out, much better than I could have ever imagined. I'd like to say the tough years are behind us, but I'm certainly not a fortune teller.  The truth is that marriage is tough. Maintaining a relationship is work.  It's sacrificing yourself, it's compromising your desires, but in the end sharing and building a life with your best friend is the greatest reward.

To my best friend and forever love, I love you more than you'll ever know.

Yes, a marriage is hard work at times, more people need to vocalize this so people don't feel like a failure when times get tough! Nice post!
