At Last

Ghoulish Delight · 08-02-2012, 10:25 AM

This thread is coming a little early because tomorrow we leave for 3 night celebration (the details of which remain a secret to CP). But I wanted to make sure I posted this before we go.

Ten years.

Ten years ago (as of Saturday) I followed through on the easiest decision of my life. I said "I do" to a lifetime of joy, passion, and partnership. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't spend time thinking about how truly fortunate I am to have married the perfect person for me. I've been planning our celebration for over 5 months, which has had me dwelling on these 10 years (and the 6.5 years of "dating" that preceded it). It simultaneously seems completely unbelievable and entirely inevitable.

And what is most astounding is that 10 years ago all I could think was, "How can it get any better?" And now, all I can think is, "Will it ever stop getting
better?" The wedding came at a time of transition for us, not only leaving single life behind, but I had just graduated from college and we were just getting acquainted a certain group of friends that, in no small part, have contributed to that feeling of continual improvement of our lives. Still too new to be at the wedding, they were already too important to us not to include them in our joy some way. And, in keeping with what would become a familiar pattern, they helped turn a one-day event into a month long celebration.

And here we are again at a new point of transition, once again with easy decisions to make because I know I've got someone who supports me in every way I need.

Jen, I love you. Evers.

Happy 10th Anniversary

You're pretty damn amazing yourself.

More historical imagery. Ten years is apparently a long time.

Mazel-tov, you two. Really, two of the most wonderful people I've ever known, raising a third who's a constant joy. I'm so continually happy for you and your beautiful little family.

Ten years went by in a flash, it seems - so here's to the next 75!!!
