10 Years.....

To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all...

Today Arvid and I celebrate 10 years of married life...to me it seems incredible.  We have been together for 11 and time is just flying by...and yes we are having the time of our life.  10 years ago today we were married at the Mai Kai, in a Polynesian garden right here in Fort Lauderdale Florida...

I am in many ways surprised at how similar we are even though we are from completely different backgrounds.  Like many couples it is not always easy, but we work at it.  We don't let minor pettiness ruin what we have achieved throughout the years. 

Everyone thinks their special bond is unique and we are no different.  That's what sets us all apart our uniqueness.  We care and respect each other and we bring into our marriage that something special that when combined makes for one heck of a good time.  Add Brutus into the picture and you can say we have the perfect ingredients for happiness...just remember "A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person"

 

Aside from a few skeptics who thought we may not make it, we have survived some not so good times and with each new day our relationship is stronger and better than ever.  Both Arvid and I have been give a second chance in life for happiness.  We took it and we are loving every moment we have together...

Happy Anniversary to the one I love...thank you for the wonderful years we have had so far and I am looking forward to the ones yet to come...Like you have always told me.."we are a team together we can do anything and no one will ever come in the way of our happiness..." 

I love being married.  It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life...Spouse:  someone who'll stand by you through all the trouble you wouldn't have had if you'd stayed single...

until next time...
