6 years…

So today marks my 6th Wedding Anniversary, and since Dan tends to get the shaft on my Blogs and M tends to get all the attention, I figured I would focus this blog on our relationship and this celebration!

We have been together 9 year this October…dated for a year, engaged (at Light Up Night/Santa Spectacular) for two and married for six. We have been through so much, and as much as I tease him, I know I’m blessed. Who else would put up with my craziness? Those of you that know me well know he is the balance to me.

We have been through so much as many relationships have…one of our biggest…we work together (and do the exact same job) which has its own tests (in fact we were a recent topic on a recent local radio show). Yes, it is possible to work with your husband or wife and still get along. In fact we met here. Maybe that helps. The passing of Dan’s father, the passing of two of my Grandmothers, infertility issues, the birth of our beautiful girl, raising that strong willed, smart, beautiful girl. The list could go on and on. Our relationship isn’t the same one we started with. We have grown and it with us. Did I mention I am blessed?

Don’t get me wrong, we fight, we argue, and sometimes we go to bed mad. But in the end we love each other and we are in this relationship to make it work. A few months ago I came across this blog and I truly agree. http://themattwalshblog.com/2014/05/29/wife-person-married/ We were blessed with not just each other but great role models. Our parents, grandparents, siblings, and aunts and uncles who have had long and happy marriages. And don’t get me wrong here either. My one set of grandparents was divorced in a time when divorce was just not done. It happens. Sometimes there are things in a relationship that are just not “fixable”. Are you tired of the blessed word yet? Too bad…I’m blessed to be in a relatioship that things are fixable. Everything that Dan and I go though we will go through together. For not just the next 6 years, but the next 60…
