This weekend is my 23rd wedding anniversary. My husband and I met while in college all those years ago. Let’s just say he has seen my face a lot. Going into a marriage you take the good you take the bad you take it all in. Just like the theme song to “Facts of Life” says.

There has been a lot of ups and equally a lot of downs. He has stuck through my craziness and all my illnesses which were not present when we were married.

And still he is there with me as we continue to forge ahead together. I am blessed, truly incredible blessed. I am grateful for my husband even if it is not always said or shown.

The little things matter people. When he opens the door for me that still makes me go awe how sweet. The time he rubs my head and calls me his term of endearment which is scrawny weasel which to most people might sound odd. But to me it says he loves me.

I read about the high rate of divorce that is present in today’s society. It is easy to get married and then get it dissolved just like one goes through a drive through window. When I see the statistics it makes me more appreciative of what I have in my marriage. It is not easy, it takes work. But the payoffs is priceless.

Happy Anniversary to my husband.
