16 years ago today...

Chris asked me to marry him on Valentine's Day 1995.  Hard to believe that it's been 16 years since I said YES.  We've come a long way from those young kids, but I wouldn't trade a moment.  (Ok, there are few moments in the past year I might trade)  I always thought it was cheesy when people said that they loved their spouse more today than they did before, but I totally get it now.  Back then, I really had no idea what love really was.  I didn't know what the next year would hold for us. 

We married really young.  It's been a tough road, but it was the best choice for us.  I love this man so very much and can't wait to start the next chapter of our lives as parents.  Hoping that we will be able to share our love with a child in the very near future.

Weren't we cute kids?  Photo was taken on our wedding day- June 22, 1996.  We'll celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary this year!  How is that even possible?

Hope you are all having a great day with those you love.  I have a very close friend who lost her husband too soon and I think of her on days like today.  I have such an empathy for her.  She gets it- Days like today are as painful for her as Mother's Day is for me.  So for today, I will cherish Chris a little more, and hug him a little tighter.  We may long for a child, we do have each other.
