It’s our anniversary!


Today my darling husband and I have been married for 20 years. I can still remember so much about that day that it can’t possibly have been that long ago. I can remember looking out the church window and seeing him arriving, wearing tennis shoes with his tux, and sending a bridesmaid out just to make sure he had the “real” shoes. (Yes, I’ve always been the control freak). I remember not being nervous at all – right up until the second the Wedding March started. Then it was like I’d forgotten how to breathe. I remember every step walking down the aisle to him, and every step walking back as his wife. I remember the song he wrote (and sang) just for the wedding – how I was holding myself together pretty well until he finished and handed me a rose out of his guitar case… thank heaven for waterproof mascara!

Marrying this man has been the single best thing I have ever done in my life. I’m still not sure how it was that fate or God or the Universe managed to get us together, but I will be forever grateful. This man loves me unceasingly. He loves the things about me that I don’t like. He loves me even when I feel unlovable. He loves me when I soar, and when I crash helpless back to Earth. He spoils me shamelessly, and always makes me believe I deserve it..….

I’m not sure what I ever did to deserve him, but I know I try every day to prove to him that I do! Here’s to the next 20 years!!
