Loving My Man

The hubby and I had our 10 year anniversary on January 11, 2013. Ten years. That is a decade, y'all! A decade filled with the birth of our 4 sweet nuggets, buying and selling houses, getting lazy and gaining weight, losing weight, vacations, making money, losing money, deaths, life, and so much more. You know, we lived life. Looking back, we can see where God wove His great thread of love through it all. Our marriage is stronger and more in love than when we said, "I do" all those years ago. 

I made a slideshow with pictures from our many milestones, important memories, or special people during those ten years. I added some sweet (and pretty sappy) love songs and the hubby and I sat down, watched it, and cried. Yeah, yeah. You would have cried too.

The hubby made me the sweetest gift! He handmade a box to keep our love story inside. This is how it works: every 10 years we write down answers to a stack of questions that he wrote down and seal them in an envelope. (We had, on a whim, answered some questions in a book when we got married and those are included in the box.) The questions help us commemorate all aspects of our relationship and show how we change through-out the years. Hopefully our love story will be passed down to later generations, a story of what an honest, God-fearing, nitty-gritty love story SHOULD look like. That's the plan, anyway. It was an amazing gift, from an even more amazing man.
