Marriage- after having a family get-together to celebrate Benjamin’s grandparents’ 60th wedding anniversary this weekend- it got me to think about our marriage.
Mimmy and Papaw- Celebrating 60 years!
7 years. I still can’t believe we’ve been married for SEVEN YEARS. I feel so incredibly lucky to have found someone- and I was so young! I had just turned 15. Some people may think that we were too young, but we just found each other quite early.
He has made me into the person I am. He has had so much influence on me and I don’t even realize it. Family is so important and unless you make the time to think about it, it’s hard to see how special they really are and what impact they have on you.
I’m getting ready to celebrate a birthday and I also think back to when I was 15- I think that I had just met Benjamin. It took me a few months, but after that, I knew he was THE ONE.
Benjamin’s grandparents did say at dinner that both people have to give 100%. It’s not 50/50. I have to keep remembering that. Especially when I’m tired and cranky and probably rude! Oh, and bossy too!
He’s been traveling lately- not gone for long- but when he’s gone, I realize all the little things that I miss about him. It’s been a little stressful the last few months- especially the spring and early summer and when I had my summer law class. He got me through it and for that, I am grateful and truly appreciate our love for each other.
To those you that have found your love, congrats! And for those that haven’t, don’t give up because you will find them when you least suspect it! I can attest to that!
Erica! this is so cute!!! 60 years is a long time! so is 7!! Congrats to his grandparents.. and to you! I know some people who met & got married young, and unfortunately that doesn’t always last.
( So congrats to you and Ben! I can also attest to finding love when you least expect it. Josh and I met in a yoga class at the gym! hehe
