This week goes down as one of the stormiest, rainiest weeks we've had in a long time. I got very little sleep thanks to the night storms and to Rob sleeping at his office more nights than he was home, thanks to hundreds of power outages. Tuesday was the 14th anniversary of our first date. Thankfully we had gone out to celebrate the previous weekend, because the only time I saw him Tuesday was to take him his cot and change of clothes.
When we had gone out over the weekend we had laughed about our first date, how Rob inhaled his steak and how I thought I would never hear from him again after how abrupt he ended our date. We also reminisced about some of our favorite memories together. We've had some great ones over the years- our various trips that we laugh about, fun events, family traditions and, needless to say, the birth of our boys. It was fun walking down memory lane, thinking back over the past 14 years together!
I'm not sugarcoating things by saying it's all been a bed of roses. There have definitely been some thorns- the first two years of our marriage and the first year we moved south were really rough. But, I can honestly say that we have grown together. We have become a good team. Even when we disagree, we have learned how to talk things out. We have learned to parent together. We have learned to be each other's biggest fan instead of being against each other. Like all marriages, we have had our peaks and valleys. But I am thankful for the life we've built together and I'm looking forward to so many more years together!
