6.16.2019 ”Don’t nobody argue more than a couple who ain't NEVER breaking up”

A friend on FB shared this post with that very appropriate quote and I think it fits with our #20yrs5mos journey. If you have been following me for awhile on FB you know I like ”equal opportunity” messages because on SM it's easy to come across to others like everything is perfect. #hubbygetonmynerves #igetonhisnervestoo Believe me. Only God is perfect and HE is continually perfecting us for one another. We are purposefully >>> in progress. 🥰 

From our Vegas trip: Had SO much fun and ate too much food! Won about $150 and then gave $60 back to the stupid machines. 🤷🏽‍♀️Lol! Gotta have a better plan next time. But most importantly we will have this adventure as a part of our #20yrs5mos memory book! Thank you, Honee Bunches for continuing to develop our romance. 🥰 I love you even though you think my Circus Circus is too old to be operating and you decided that we could walk .35 miles at 2PM in the desert heat.🤣 We easily broke our fitness records with at least 80,000 steps combined.🥵 I could not imagine doing any of this with anybody other than you. 😘 — at Tropicana – Las Vegas Boulevard intersection.

"So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday.” -Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

What works for our marriage is -- I know for sure he wants me. After body changes from giving birth to four children to getting older to gaining more weight from stress (and depression) my husband still looks at me the way he did 20 years ago. It is another essential key that I would say makes our marriage worth the work. Not perfect, but also not complicated.

We are at the 20 years and 3 month mark!!! I know, I know...but it is a big deal for us. So, the celebration continues...💞

3.16.2019 - We are halfway through March already?!? Hubby said he is taking me to see a concert! 💕We’ve never been to one. Celebrating our 20th all year long is such fun! ❤️

We got the question ‘how y’all made it to 20 years when it is so rare nowadays?’

Our answer was - it is not easy because we both mess it up everyday. What works for us may not work for someone else, so this is not a rule. We had a lot of wisdom shared with us on the days we thought about quitting and we have some great role models in our family & friends. Most of all we try to put God first in our marriage. Notice I said ‘try’ because we are both flawed selfish human beings. But at our core we both love God and our love for Him navigates our story.💝

10 years in, we were just halfway to 20 and GOD gave us a little Hope!
