Quote of the Month

"Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

For Better or Worse

Crazy kids... We thought that we knew everything there was to know about marriage.  After all, we were in love.  What more was there to know?  As it turns out, there was a lot more to know.

If anyone tried to warn us at the time about just how difficult it could be, we didn't listen.  We plunged head first into marriage on August 6, 1994, at the ripe old age of 22.

Eighteen years have come and gone, and in that time we've seen our fair share of good times, bad times, times of sickness, times of good health, times when we didn't have to go without much of anything, and times when we were just plain poor.  Our marriage is not perfect.  But we've stayed committed to our life together, for better or worse.  Through the good times and the bad, through it all, I remain extremely grateful for each new year that we have together.  Happy Anniversary, my love.
