Seventeen Years

Yeesh, y’all, just reading the title of this blog post makes me cringe a little because – HOW AM I OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS?!

Wow.

Our wedding day sometimes feels like it was just yesterday, and other times, it feels like I’ve lived five lives since then. 

In the last seventeen years, we’ve been through a lot, both good and bad – selling a house, moving into an apartment, building a house, moving into said built house, bringing a sweet pup into the family, losing our first baby, being overjoyed at the births of our two healthy babies, surviving a pandemic, and navigating health issues mostly for me LOL – massive pelvic/nerve damage from childbirth (me), anxiety and panic attacks complete with a hospital stay (me), a breast cancer scare (also me), a year-and-a-half-long ongoing struggle with vertigo and dizziness (it’s me, hi), and a back surgery (Brian). 

We’ve had loads of fun traveling all over the country – Vegas numerous times, California, Washington DC, New York City numerous times, and Chicago to name a few.  We’ve been to, probably, a hundred concerts.  We’ve cried at hospital beds of both of our kiddos when they were sick.  We’ve had super fun times with friends.  We’ve lost loved ones.  We’ve perfected the art of tag-teaming for household and child duties, and the list goes on…

And here we are, seventeen years later!! 

Life is such a roller coaster, and I’m happy to have you strapped in by my side, B!  Thank you so much for all you do for me, and for our little family.

I love you! 

Here’s to 17x17 more!  What?!
