Today my wife and I celebrate 13 years together. Personally, I think we are closer now than any other time in our marriage and are very happy together. Like any relationship, we have had our ups and downs, but its amazing after all this time, we seem to have stepped things up a notch.
What's more amazing is that this comes in what has been a very tough year for us. My grandmother, my wifes grandmother and my wifes uncle all have passed away in the pasr 12 months. My parents are in the process of moving to florida, my son Michael had surgery to repair a hole in his ear drum left by tubes put in at a young age and my other son Andrew has batteled mono and some unknown virus along with severe seasonal allergies. Oh, and my wife for all intents and purposes started an embroidery business which entailed learning a pretty complicated commercial embroidery machine.
So, it appears adversity and some good old fashioned hard work has had a positive effect on us as a couple. It hasn't been easy, but what thing worth doing ever is. 13 years later, this thing we call marriage is going pretty well.
And that's a good thing(tm).
