twelve

i never write much of marriage here.
everyone knows it is work.
some of the hardest.
this week was a return to us.
so needed and wanted.
12 years ago today i chose you, as you chose me.
2 souls
2 hearts
now raising 3 children.
years of friendship
compassion
intimacy
hardship
stories
compromise 
laughs
tears
struggles
changes
triumphs
victories
setbacks
forgiveness
celebrations
love
life

j,
twelve years my love.
here's to us. 
xo,

What a beautiful hommage! Congrats on your time together and here's wishing you many more days of togetherness... xox

My hubby & I celebrated 19 years earlier this week. We chose each other twice and consider our 8-month separation back in 2000-2001 as a fundamental part of us still being together. Funny how things work out! :-)

this made me cry.

marriage deserves to be celebrated...but the sheer work of it makes it hard to do that as much. :)

I'm glad you had a chance to do that for your anniversary.

Go you guys!

lol
