August 22, 1998 we got married on a rainy summer day. It was a sweet day, shared with many loved ones. I remember people giving us all kinds of advice about marriage. It's kind of like kids though, you don't really get it until you have them. One thing that people did not tell us is that marriage takes work. It's not always rainbows and sunshine. Each day I have to make the choice to love. I don't always get it right, but I never give up on trying. I can be difficult, stubborn, hard headed...not the qualities that are that necessarily easy to live with. Remember that song, "it takes two to make a thing go right. It takes two to make it outta sight." Rob Base :) It's true, it takes two! Now please don't hear me wrong, I'm not saying that every marriage is worth fighting for. There is divorce in my family and I have many friends who have divorced for very good reasons. But I wanted to be open and honest. So today, on our anniversary, I want to celebrate the good and the bad because they all got us to where we are today. We wouldn't be who we are today without the struggles. Kevin is my right hand man and I look forward to many more years together.
