15 years ago today....
On March 9, 1994 I went to a pub in my hometown and met my future husband. Little did we know at the time what was in store for us down the road - moving to Florida & figuring out that this was it; relocating to Virginia after spending 6 months apart in different states; our wedding in 1997; buying our first home in 1998; working at the same company for 3 years; me going into labor with our first child the night our employer laid off 700 people, including Matt; spending the next 6 months rattling around the house together & joking, surely someone will call about a job! (this was 2002 after all the dot-bombs). Moving to our current home and having baby #2! Then 3! Ooops, then 4! In my head I still feel 23; well, maybe closer to 30. Certainly not 38! Where did the time go?
You live your life one day at a time, always planning for tomorrow and what it will bring, what you want to do next. Never in a million years did I picture our life the way it is today. And I wouldn't change it for the world. I feel so, so blessed to be sharing my life with the wonderful people around me. It is rich and rewarding in all the ways that matter. A gopher wheel, at times, but it won't always be this way. It's a good day to look around, and enjoy what we've been given, and be grateful. I truly am.

I love reading grateful, uplifting post.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely one of them!
Congratulations ! I've been with Mr. CG for 14 years as well, and we met for our first (blind) date in a bar ! We've been together ever since. I, too, am grateful everyday.
ReplyDeleteI can't help but notice the time you wrote this. Bedtime must have been smooth that evening. By the way, what type of wine were you drinking?
ReplyDeleteRegarding the time stamp - I can't figure out how that's calculated - I started my post late in the evening on the 14th and finished it early on the 15th. It was published sometime that morning, not at 7:48pm. Regarding the wine, do you mean at the pub? Because I think it was probably beer and Woo Woos! (I was only 23 at the time). These days I prefer Shiraz, Syrah, a good cabernet, or Franciscan Chardonnay is nice. Cheers!
