I'm not going to lie. Marriage is hard. For you old married couples, you know what I write is true. But for those of you out there who have never been married or for those of you who haven't been married too long, don't fret. If I can do it, so can you.
BUT... There are days when you go to bed and you think "What did I get myself into?" Those days are hopefully few and far between. Most days you go to bed and don't even think anything at all because you took that day for granted. Then there are THE days. On THE days you recognize what a gift you have been given to share your life with someone who loves you - faults and all. On THE days you see the hand of God in your life. On THE days your life cannot be more perfect and your heart cannot be more full because of the love you have. Those are the days that make marriage worth all the work it takes. Those are the days you keep in your heart to get you through the hard times. Those are the days when you are SO glad you didn't give up.
Over the last 15 years, we have had so many of THE days that when the hard times come, they don't seem so hard. We make a great team and I am so glad that when I told him I thought we should get married, he said yes.

You guys look like babies in that picture! I remember your wedding very clearly as well. Patti played a good rendition of sour grapes on her violin.... or was that the "Close to You"?
