Tonight's picture was taken in July of 2007, on our wedding anniversary to be specific (which is TODAY!). I can tell because once a year we would take out two special wine goblets. You may see them on the table. One is red and the other is blue. They belonged to my paternal grandparents, who were also married on July 15th (many many years ago). That day we had a meal outside on our deck. Mattie's kiddie pool took up half of our deck and in the lower right hand corner, you can see Patches sitting on Mattie's sand box lid. The whole family was together.
Quote of the day: Those monumental anniversary celebrations aren't what ultimately determine the actual direction of our marriage. Rather, it's the here and now. It's those daily decisions we make individually and together that influence how our relationship actually fares in the long run. ~ Ashleigh Slater
Peter and I are indeed survivors of just about everything possible that can happen to a couple. Our list is long, and yet despite various issues and crises, we are together. Life truly has tested us on so many levels, but I strongly believe the fact that we started off as friends and dated so long, have helped us navigate our complex lives.
