You are reading that right. It's our 10 year anniversary today and I am just as shocked as you. Still have no idea how we got here considering that dating for 5 years, that itself, felt like an eternity.
I do love looking back at everything we've been able to overcome and make. I absolutely love that 'growing old together' cliches are completely true. I love how comfortable we are with each other and how much we still have yet to grow.
This was us, 10 year ago. Surrounded by everyone that cares and loves us, coming to celebrate us and bless our commitment to one another. And even though our wedding flashed by and we hardly had a moment to think a thought, I still get tingles remembering that day.
The same place where we were married, happened to be a place I took our children 7 years later in 2014. Elena was barely 8 months old and Andrew had started school. Jonah is adorably squishy and cute.
Brennan Vineyards is a really elegant place in central Texas (and out of place in Comanche, TX). If you're ever on a wine tour in big ol' Texas, make sure you stop there. Great wine and atmosphere, I really wish we could visit more often!
Our family size has stayed the same (unfortunately), but we've all grown.
So this is what it's like.
And this...
Most times, it's not like this at all...
Listen, I was recently asked what the purpose of being a relationship is for and it caught me off-guard. I didn't want to answer in a cheesy way -- even though you could put a check mark on all those reasons -- but basically the answer I gave was because that person, becomes your complement.
The thing is, you are already whole.
You just need a little extra spice.
And in times where I need a more sturdy outlook in life or footing, he's my rock.
Spice + Rock. The End. What more do you want, right?
This man is my everything and dang do we look good 10 years later! Happy Anniversary bae!
