It’s my wedding anniversary today. My husband and I have been married for five years. We were married on Makena Beach in Maui - such a beautiful spot. And what a way to get married! Avoided all of the big wedding stuff and just took off with a few friends and family and got hitched.
It was right after 9/11 so I was a little apprehensive to get on the plane. And all of the mags on the plane were Newsweek and Time with all of the 9/11 stories. I started reading them, began to cry and immediately put them away. I didn’t want to be upset - I was goin’ to get married! And I didn’t want to freak myself out on the plane either.
So fast forward five years later and there’s no chance in hell we’re going to Maui any time soon. What a bummer. But our life is too hectic with the kids and we can’t really afford it right now either. Oh well…
I just want to say I feel very lucky to have my husband in my life. He’s a thoughtful man, a wonderful father and a supportive husband. We have our moments, our marriage isn’t perfect but what marriage is? It takes work to make a marriage and we work hard to keep it going.
Here’s hoping to many more years to come.
P.S. - I’ll share pics of our trip in my next post. I uploaded them on the other computer and haven’t got to them yet. My bad.

Happy Anniversary! And, no, no marriage is perfect, hubby and I are doubtful we’ll make it sometimes, but we always do!
What a beautiful story! Have many many many more wonderful years!
With Love,
Tara M.

Happy Anniversary, Karen!!! Five years is a great milestone to celebrate. And yes, marriage is HARD. I don’t think anyone has the perfect marriage - it just doesn’t exist!

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary! Time sure flies, doesn’t it?
Sure, all marriages have troubles. But it’s how we work through them that defines us! Marriage really does take work.

Happy Anniversary!!!

Ooh that’s so sweet! And that’s exactly what I want to do if I get married, go on a destination wedding to Hawaii!

While we were on holiday this year my daughter drew one of those hearts with “I love you” written in it, took a photo of it, had it developed and sent it as a post card to her boyfriend. And who said teenagers aren’t romantic?!
Belated Happy Anniversary
