Anniversary Thoughts

This year my husband and I have been married 13 years. We actually lived together for 3 years before that and part of me wants credit for those years- we put a lot of effort into them. They were probably harder than the first couple of years of marriage. But I guess to have them count we should have just gotten married, that was a different lifetime ago. In some ways it seems like it has been a really long time, but in other ways the years have gone very quickly. Life hasn't turned out quite the way I planned. God has added his own little twists to keep me from getting bored, I guess. I planned to be a stay at home mom, but I thought I would have "normal" kids and eventually go back to work. Now I know everyone thinks their kids are abnormal, but I have been around a lot of kids and mine really are - I have doctors who agree with me. I never thought I would live in a little town, home school, or deal with the many issues that came with my kids. All in all I love my life, my family, and I would do it all again. I married a wonderful man and we have created an interesting family. I look forward to many more years of marriage and a whole lot more stories to tell.
