It is so hard to believe 23 years ago Rich and I were married. Gosh I was so young, only 18. People sometimes ask me if I would get married again at that age. My answer without hesitation is absolutely. Even with the rough start we had with his drinking and how naive I was it was all worth it. 23 years have brought me such happiness. I love him so much and know we are beyond blessed to have the marriage we do. It is not all roses and of course we struggle like everyone else, but each struggle is a growing experience. I am so lucky to have my Eternal Companion and an amazing father to my girls. The example he sets for them on how to treat a wife is priceless. Autumn tells me she wants a husband just like him, one that treats her so well and shows her love, kindness, compassion, understanding, and all other things a marriage should be made from.
Now that Autumn is almost 18 and a senior she laughs and tells me she could be engaged and married by next summer *gasp, cough, choke* I don't think so. I told her she at least needs to have 1-2 years of college behind her first. Not that I regret it, but I want my girls to experience living on their own before they get married. Rich says it doesn't matter, no guy will ever be good enough for his girls. We were laughing pretty hard at Aunt Perks funeral when he was telling my parents he wasn't sure how they let me get married. My moms answer was "we prayed A LOT". HAHA.
