Now that we are parents we spend so much time focused on each and every little milestone of the boys. The frst time each crawled then walked, their first words, then sentences, or the first time Reece rode a bike without training wheels, the first day of kindergarten, and even the first lost tooth. However, we often overlook our own milestones as a couple.
I cannot help to become somewhat sentimental in thinking about our own milestones, as husband and wife! This week is a BIG one, it will be our ten year anniversary. While it sometimes feels like yesterday, there are days if I ever wondered if we would get here (being honest). I sent my mom a text tonight " ten years ago (exactly) we were headed up to Mackinaw Island."
I find myself doing exactly what everyone told me to do ten years ago, soaking it all in. I cannot help but reflect back on every big and sometimes little moments in the past ten years. If someone gave me a crystal ball ten years ago, I'm not sure I would have taken the challenge. However, standing where I am now, I know for certain it is because of US that we are where we are. Marriage is hard but incredibly rewarding all at the same time. I am who I am as a mom, a wife, a teacher, and a person because of Gregg. There is no one else in the world I would rather spend any free moment with than Gregg. We have laughed harder, cried more, and grown beyond what I could have dreamt. We have grown into an incredible team.
I feel incredibly proud of our marriage, our children, and the family which we have built together.
I love looking back at pictures of our amazing wedding weekend, sharing those now with the boys and seeing how much we have grown.
As the saying goes the days are long but the years are short. I cannot wait to look back 10, 20, 50 years from now and continue to celebrate this amazing milestone which all begin on October 9, 2004.
I am beyond excited to celebrate just the two of us where it all started 10 years ago. We are off for a long weekend this coming weekend to the same hotel we celebrated our honeymoon in Mexico.
I think we need to celebrate OUR milestones more often;)
