Well, today is August 7th and I married Mark 15 years ago today! Wow...WOW! It's gone by in a blink! I can still remember our first date like it was last weekend! How he asked me out, well how I pretty much made him ask me out! I said what are you doing tonight? He said, "nothing." Then I said something like I'd really like to go listen to some live music somewhere do you know anywhere to go? LOL! He was so laid back, I think that's what I was so attracted to.
I'd like to say our marriage has been perfect, but I can't. Or can I, maybe it has been perfect for us? We went through a rough patch a few years ago but we came through with flying colors, closer than we were before the rough patch. So, perhaps it was a good place to go, even if it hurt going through it. When one of my dear friends (who dates his very good friend) heard we were having trouble, she said she was just going to go ahead and break up with J. She figured if we couldn't make it (Mark and I) no one could. It was sweet. Luckily we worked it out and they are still together too!!lol
People often ask me how we keep it so fresh and so good (the marriage). Mark's pretty easy, he just needs two things, food and well, you should be able to figure the other one out! But mostly, he and I are really good friends. We laugh a lot together, take things lightly and hang out together (go on dates or sit on our porch or deck together when the kids go up).
It's really been pretty easy. If it was a lot of work, I don't know if we'd still be married?
Tonight we're going on our favorite date. Sushi and cocktails! AHHHHH!! I'll see if I can get Lydia to take a pic of us before we go out and I'll post it later!
