I remember the night!!! I was in an awesome navy blue dress with
platform sneakers.(yeah I looked that hot) It was right after
high school graduation. I was living on my own. I was living the
single life! (ok well not really----my grandmother lived downstairs).
I was still kinda on my own. I was at a graduation party for a very
old friend.

I didn't drink because I was driving and the after party spilled over
to the graduates house. That was when He walked in!!! He worked at a
grocery store. Normally, the uniforms were not
Rockin......but......it all changed that night! He was so cute! Omg-
and his eyes-BLUE like DEEP blue!

Making me remember this moment made me realize I need to celebrate my
relationship with my husband. It's not our anniversary but it's not
always those days that matter. It's the days when he is there and I
am sick and he is still there. It's the days that our bills were due
yesterday and he is still here even though we had a huge fight-neither
one walked out the door. Today, it's to easy to walk away. I have
wanted to but I am thankful I haven't (especially when I look back at
those beginning days when I made a promise to him)

My pastor said something the day we got married. He said, "don't just
hope you will be there together in 20 years, decide!".

Sometimes, I have to remember and re-decide and realize that deep down
in my memories are the better days and remember how hot he looked in
his Acme uniform. By doing that I can hold his hand and "decide" we
will get through what we are dealing with now.
