Yesterday was mine and Grant's 10 year anniversary. It's hard to believe that it's already been that long. Yet looking back, I feel like I've known Grant my whole life. Including the time we dated, we've been together for almost 14 years. Considering that I'm not even 30 yet, that means I've known him almost half my life. I remember when we got married, and I was only 19, people said things like, "Ya know, something like 50% of teen marriages end in divorce by the age of 25". I don't think anyone was trying to be rude, just letting us know what the odds were. Of course, telling me something like that only makes me want something even more. I wanted to be able to prove everyone wrong, to be the exception to the rule and to be outstanding...and, we are. Not only have we outlasted the statistics, but our marriage has thrived. We love each other and we love to be together. We don't just put up with each other, and Grant truly is my best friend. He knows me better than anyone else (and still loves me anyway!)
I have never regretted marrying Grant. I feel like we did what we thought was right and we made it work. I'm proud of the marriage we have and the way we've made it succeed. We work hard at building a strong marriage and I look back on the last 10 years with nothing but love and happiness.
Here are some pictures from our night out last night. I love you Grant! Here's to the next 10 years and a lifetime beyond that!!
