…for better, for worse, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, ’til death do us part…
- September 26, 1998
Thirteen years.
Seems like a lifetime, especially when you figure that I was a fresh-faced 22 year old only 3 weeks out of college when I stood in front of my fiance and said the biggest promises of my life.
With friends and family and even a renegade celebrity (yes, I’m looking at you Fred Couples – at least you could’ve put on a nicer shirt and brought a gift) we promised to love, honor and cherish each other until death does us part.
We’ve made it through better and worse.
We’ve made it through sickness and health.
We’ve made it through good times and bad — possibly the worst. The “bad” that statistics say will break you up for sure.
We’ve made it through these things several times over and still? Here we are!
This year, I hope to make more date nights and spring for babysitters so we can go out and enjoy each other’s company without a small person interrupting every other sentence.
I love you, Jason, and hope the next 13 have the same great moments as the first 13 and that the bad stays away!
*********************************
On that same note, this weekend we got together with 6 of my friends from growing up. Most of us have been friends since we were born, literally. We discussed marriage and realized that together, 7 couples have a combined 69 years of marriage and zero divorces. We talked about how hard marriage is and that it’s a lot of WORK. We’re all very proud of our long marriages (range from 14 years to 5 years) and can’t wait to add them up in a few years!!
Congrats Jana and Jason! Keep it up!

Happy Anniversary, wedding day twin!

I know I’m late on this but happy anniversary!
I was thinking, wow marrying at 22 when I realized I have been together with my husband since then. It’s awesome to grow and mature together isn’t it.
And I hope that Fred Couples stumbles on this at some point and sends you a gift!
