Milestones

  As Josh and I hit big milestones this year, 10 years married in May and 12 years together on Friday, I have to say it isn't easy. If I told you it was a walk in the park I would be lying. I love my husband, don't get me wrong, that isn't the hard part.
    We were sitting together last night at the dining room table, and I couldn't help but to stare at him. I asked him if he thought is was funny how far we had come. Being Josh his answer was very logical, and true. I hadn't clued him in to what was going on in my head though. I looked at him and realized this is not the boy I met and felt instantly connected to. He looked so different from that high school kid, and was now the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with. We have both changed, together and as individuals. Yet we still fit together so well.
    I feel like if we hadn't changed we wouldn't have made it this far. We were kids when we got married and now getting closer to being adults. Marriage is my best accomplishment so far. I don't get trophies or raises when I do something good. I do however have the satisfaction of knowing that Josh and I have worked together as a team to jump a lot of hurdles. We are getting better at this everyday. We talk without barriers, and don't walk on eggshells. We ask for help and know when to admit our mistakes. Our marriage is in no way perfect, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
   I am so happy that I get to start and end my day with this wonderful man. We don't celebrate this anniversary but I will never forget the day my life got better. The day our paths joined and began our adventure together.
  Love is the light guiding our way.
