Seventeen Years!

It was seventeen years ago today that I married my wonderful husband, Adam. Here are some pictures of our journey with our son Tyler. Enjoy!

True Love

Have you ever wondered what true love is? I know what it is. I have it every single day.
My dear husband is selfless, honest, caring, faithful, he looks at me in the morning, before I have even gotten dressed, and tells me how beautiful I am. He puts me first, always. He is the epitome of true love.
I adore this man with my whole heart. I think our relationship works so well because we are always trying to be good to each other. We didn't have a self help book for this, except for the teachings of Christ. We try to show each other the kind of selfless love that Christ has shown. That is true love. When you put the other person first, and show your love, communicate in a loving way, your relationship will improve.

I know what true love is, thanks to my dear husband.

The Story of Us

I was thinking about a friend of mine that was concerned about the age difference between him and the love of his life. That got me thinking about myself and my hubby.

A friend of ours, Mike, had set us up when I was 14 and Adam was 17. We did not hit it off at all. He thought I was a snot and I had no clue what I was doing. Needless to say, it didn't work. I will say in my defense, I wasn't a snot. I was a 14 year old girl.

We met up again when I was 16 and we fell in love in no time at all. I knew that I was going to marry him. I loved him from that point on. We were inseparable.

We went through a periods of time when we split and then got back together. Then, when I was 20 we were married. I know there were many people that thought we wouldn't make it. I am sure there are still people that think we won't, but after 14 years of marriage we are still going strong.

He is the man of my dreams, has given me the most amazing son, he picks me up when I am down, floats like a balloon with me when I am happy, and is there for me in every in-between moment. When you find the person you love never let go.

Anniverary

This day, 14 years ago, my beautiful husband and I were married. I was 20 and a nervous wreck. He was 23 and, as always, calm as anything. These past 14 years have been wonderful, and I can't wait for the next.

We have had good times and bad, but loved each other through them all. He is my rock when I need him to be, and my soft place to fall. This man is amazing.

I hope everyone is as blessed as we are. Having that perfect person that seems tailor made for you, and you for them, is amazing. I love you my sweet husband.
