10 YEARS- where has it gone?

There are 2 things I wish right now...
1.) Hubby was home with me to celebrate
2.) I am sober while I write this.  (okay maybe not this one so much, but WHATEVER!)

Is it really possible that 10 years has past since this momentous occasion?  Shall we begin with what we have learned?

Little did we know that 2 days after we were married September 11th would happen and as Americans change our lives forever.  (this is another blog topic)

We will start with all the wonderment that lead up to this day. 
Who knew that a ladies night in NKC would end up with all this?  I, for sure didn't see this one coming. 
It started with that first date and somehow he moved in and got me to do his laundry that weekend.  That much has never changed. 

Several trips to St. Louis ( I still swear the child was conceived there). 
A child, 2 cats and I guess its time to tie the knot. 

Yes folks, that's right we did it backwards- Kid first....I'll let you know how that one ends later.

The big day itself- jam packed with family and decorations.  What a busy day this was.   Thankfully my hand hand woman, Angela had already done this and was ready to ignore me and my tantrums and get it done. 

But really what have I learned?

Always pledge your life to someone who makes you laugh.  If it weren't for the laughter to stop the tears  making through life wouldn't be possible.

Pick someone who will fight with you when you need it.  For some reason we all need to argue sometimes to let it all out.  Someone who doesn't think less of you when you aren't at your best.  And I couldn't have found anyone better to do this. 

Make sure your partner has your back.  In times of uncertainty you need someone who believes in you and believes you will do the right thing. 

It's very important to have family who are realists (since I don't I will borrow yours..).  They understand that life isn't perfect, childhood wasn't perfect, but it'swhat you do now that will make a difference.

Always have family who has more drama than you- it makes you seem untouchable and not so interesting

You must know when to push and when to give in.  It's not all about winning~ sometimes an understanding is all that needs to be reached. 

Last but not least~ I have learned is SHIT WILL BUFF OUT....

For those who said we wouldn't make it..obviously you didn't hold your breath, but can you start now?
