Yesterday was my 18th Anniversary of being married to the most incredible man in the world. I keep thinking I can't be old enough to have been married this long. What were my parents thinking letting their daughter marry at the age of....what, 10?
Words can not express my wonderful world with Phil. Oh, it hasn't always been perfect and difficulties have come and gone, we are human, but I am thankful that even in those difficulties I know that he still loves me. What a true privilege it is to have been married to such a great guy. When I look back on my life when I was teenager, I am still amazed at the merciful hand of God. He has been so good to me and I will always say that the best thing He did, besides saving me, was giving me Phil. So, this post is dedicated to you, Phil, the sweetest man I know:
My mind is flooded with such sweet and precious memories of our life together.....
I remember the first time I saw you (cutest boy I ever saw!), I remember our first date, I remember our first fight (hilarious!), I remember the moment I realized I was in love with you and wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, I remember the day you proposed to me, I love to think about the beautiful wedding and the awesome trip to Mexico, I remember buying our first house together, then building our second house and the numerous weekends and vacations working side-by-side to create a beautiful home and yard, I remember the day we found out we were actually starting a family (finally!), I will never forget your willingness to work so hard in order for me to give up my job to stay home with the kids, I will always remember your encouraging words when I felt like I was a horrible mother, wife, person. I will always cherish your complete commitment to me and our children. Your strong desire to spend every moment away from work with us. I really do love every sweet hug and kiss (even when I am REALLY busy and don't have time!).
And now, I look forward to all the things in the future. I look forward to getting up each morning to your sweet face and going to sleep each night with you beside me. I will enjoy every smile, laugh, cry, words of frustration and moments of staying up until midnight just so we can have a conversation. I am thankful that when I am weak you are strong and that you keep me balanced.
I am so thankful for a marriage that has been filled with 18 years of joy and look forward to decades more. I love you Phil!!
