Looks Like We Made It....

Zak and I have been married for 15 years! It sounds strange even to me. We have lasted longer than both of our parents marriages even did. They were the same ones who told us NOT to get married...Hmmm. How has it lasted so long you ask? I couldn't tell you really except for the fact we are two very stubborn people. I'm sure there have been times when one or both of us wanted out but we had the foresight to know those moments would pass. If someone asked me to write down everything I would want in a husband, Zak would be all of those things. Well, maybe he would at least score a 92%, no one is perfect! Hopefully I would even score close to that, I am not always the easiest person to love. He has kept trying for the last 15 years and I am so thankful he never gave up on me! Even though we didnt have the traditional courtship, I think maybe starting under the conditions we did actually made us stronger. We knew from the start how hard marriage was, how hard it would be to raise kids, how to make time for one another, how to bond together when times got tough. Somehow as we have gotten older we have grown up together not apart and for that I am thankful. Now onto the next 15 years...I wonder what new challenges, what new joys, what new triumphs, what new tragedies we might face? At least we can do it together.
