Nineteen...

Nineteen years ago, this day happened. 

In some ways it feels like just a few years ago, but when I stop and think of everything that's happened in our lives since then, it feels like at least 19 years. 

Who could predict then where our lives would take us? I planned on it being an adventure, but I'm just really not into hiking up such high mountains and riding wild roller coasters.

We have nineteen years of priceless moments, most of them fun and happy, but, some sad, some scary, and some excruciatingly difficult. Through it all there has always been LOVE, a love that has evolved to something more than saying "I do" on our wedding day. It's an understood LOVE where we don't even have to say a word.

 Coming in a close second to love is laughter. We laugh a lot in our house, and if you know my Victor personally, you know why. He likes to laugh. I often tell him(somewhat in a kidding way)that not everything is laughable. He respectfully disagrees.

Today I got this text. 

A perfect fortune for him on our anniversary. It's true. Where would I be without laughter being a part of my daily routine? 

So, although I'm not a huge fan of mountain climbing right now, I'm grateful to have this guy of mine behind me, pushing, and sometimes shoving me to the summit.

Happy Anniversary to you my love. xo
