10 years

A lot can happen in a marriage of 10 years.

Actually, a lot has happened. I won't go into overly boring details, but indulge me just a bit.

We've lived in 7 different residences in 4 different cities.
We've had 3 different beds.
We've worked for 9 different employers combined, not counting freelance work.
We've watched games at 16 different baseball stadiums together.
We've had 7 different cars, and racked up quite a few miles.
We've been to 5 different countries on 2 different continents together.
We've been blessed with 9 nieces and nephews.
Best estimate, we've been in 31 different states together. Some of them will even let us come back.
Our zip codes have decreased every time we've moved to a new one so far.
We've attended 1 funeral together, and at least 7 weddings.
So far, we've had 3 trips to the emergency room, that I can recall anyway.
We have been given the care of 2 wonderful children whom we love very much.


Add it all up, and you get one.

As in, I am one lucky guy.
I am so blessed to be with the one woman I want to spend my life with.
She's the one that makes me want to be my best.


Here's to many more years together, one at a time.

Looking at all your numbers, it just adds up to a great 10 years. Congratulations. By the way, we've been married almost 40 years and we've only had 9 cars...just saying.

Congratulations on your ten-year anniversary! I hope you had a nice celebration--let me know if you want me to babysit so you can have a weekend away.
