Three Slash Ten

My dear sweet husband and I got married on our pre-existing anniversary, what does that mean?

1. It's harder for him (or me) to forget it.

2. I get to celebrate our wedding anniversary and "dating" anniversary at the same time and emphasize whichever number is more exciting that particular year.

Today we're celebrating 10 years of being together and 3 years of marriage (see what I did there?).

So I've talked about how we met 10 years ago on that fateful night (I searched "cops came" in order to find and link that post).  I haven't talked much about the fact that things haven't always been easy for us.  We've had our ups and downs, with a decent amount of downs.  We've struggled financially, gone through career changes, made bad decisions, made great decisions, yelled, cried, been to counseling, spoiled our dogs furry children and learned a lot from each other.  But above all, we've laughed, and as long as we keep each other laughing I'm 100% sure that with him by my side I can get through anything.  And I know he feels the same way.

These days, it's mostly ups and it's mostly awesome.  We appreciate each other, rely on each other and absolutely and genuinely enjoy each other's company.

What are we doing for our anniversary?  Who knows cares!  I made him breakfast this morning at 4:00 while he was getting ready for work and by doing so, foiled his plan of doing the same for me, ahh great minds.  We'll figure something out I'm sure.

There's no one I'd rather have by my side!
