I swear it was just yesterday that we were getting married. And it was just the day before that when we started dating in high school. We've been together for 15 years, nearly almost half of our lives. But we even go back farther than that. At the ripe old age of 10, we met at vacation bible school at my church. DH came with my cousin to vbs and I introduced myself with the most romantic gesture ever portrayed by a 10 year old.
I hit him with a water balloon.
He promptly made fun of my name, saying, "It just doesn't sound right."
Needless to say, we've given each other crap almost daily since then. It's the key to a happy relationship. Or at least it works for us. We even had a few classes together in high school. One of which included lessons on parliamentary procedure in which I banged my gavel and told him to shut up. I'm pretty sure that was proper procedure, parliamentary speaking.
It's been a decade filled with lots of bad and good times, but we've endured. It seemed like the bad times of IF would never end the way we wanted but we got our wish. And to celebrate we took Jordan on our anniversary trip this weekend. We walked along the touristy streets and shops and planned for the years ahead, dreaming of the days when he will be old enough to enjoy the zoo, aquarium and go kart tracks.
The last 10 years have been fun, but I can't wait for the next 10.
