Another year has come and gone

Well we made it to our 16th year- or well we actually celebrated year 17 a year early... maybe one day we will learn to count.   We are friends- we laugh together a lot- we take care of the house- we take care of the kids- we sleep- we wake- we go to church- we tithe- we vacation (or we really did this year with a trip to Key West)...we fight and misunderstand each other but less often than we used to.  I wonder sometimes, and this blog is really about me thinking out loud,  is this really all there is to marriage... I mean do other marriages function as friendships and that's it.  I am left again this year as I look at July 12 wondering- is there more?!  If there is how do we get there...will we ever get there...is this what God had in mind?  I don't want a marriage like movies show.  Do those even exist?  What about the mental image of love/romance/marriage that come with music?  Does that exist?  Maybe it doesn't - maybe we are just meant to be really good friends.  Maybe years from now I will look back and decide to erase this entire blog and think how young and foolish I was. 16 years - I struggle with the phrase Happy Anniversary- just left it as hey we made it.  Until next time...
