you're still the one i love...

Such a beautiful Sunday to celebrate our first date anniversary. I was just 15 & you were 16 when we started our lives together on January 16, 1988. Who knew that we would still be together 23 years later? I did. We have had many trials as a couple but our love was always bigger and stronger than anything we had to face along the way.... I feel so very lucky to have you for a husband and father to our girls. Thanks for loving me. 
I left this love note on my computer monitor for him to see this morning. He gave me flowers.

love, sweet love



Fourteen years ago I became Mrs. S. It was one of the most amazing days of my entire life and I am so very blessed. Blessed because we have struggled through some really really tough times during our marriage but because we have such respect for our vows and love each other with intensity, we pushed through to make it work. Marriage is hard. It still is after all these years but I cannot imagine my life without Brent. He brings so much happiness, laughter and passion to my life. Through all the struggles, he manages to figure it all out and take care of me and the girls. It isn't always pretty, the struggles, but the most important thing is that we are together. He makes me feel things that no one else ever has or ever will. He gives me more than I deserve, really. It isn't about material things-we have very little of that- but about love and respect. Twenty years of him by my side, fourteen years of those being married...I couldn't ask for much more. (well, a few million wouldn't hurt anybody, now would it? *wink*)
