Ginger's May Update
Title: Have I really been married for 10 years?
Every once in a while do you ever have those moments where reality just slaps you in the face? Boom! And you have to stop for a moment and realize where your life is at and how fast time flies. May was that kind of month for me. Travis and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary on the 20th and it was one of those days when I really thought about all that had happened in those 10 years and how fast time had gone by.
In 10 years we've moved 3 times, had 3 children, battled breast cancer, made 3 job changes, dealt with psycho in-laws (Trav's side ;) ), put in 3 yards (NEVER again), driven 9 different automobiles, traveled to Kauai twice, laughed and cried and made incredible memories with our kids and the list goes on.
After Trav and I sat and discussed everything, we both were overwhelmed with how many blessings we've been given over a 10 year period. The fact that we found each other to begin with was a HUGE blessing. When I was serving a LDS mission in Michigan I wrote a list titled 'I want to marry a guy...' On the list I wrote everything that I really wanted to have in a husband. I wanted a guy that would take me hiking during the day and to the opera at night. I wanted someone who was good with kids, someone who would make me laugh and someone who would fit into my family well. When I was finished the list totaled around 39 things that I really wanted to have in a husband. Now - being that I'm a smart girl and had dated many a guy in the past - I knew I was really insane to think I'd find someone that fit all 39 items.
Then I met Travis. And there are only 3 items on the list that he didn't comply with. He can't sing, he can't dance and his mother hates me. (But we'll save that for another post - long story) I'm not saying that Travis is perfect - but he's perfect for me. I truly feel blessed to have him in my life and for his strength and willingness to stand by through the whole cancer episode. Thanks hun.
I'm so grateful to have 3 wonderful children who, despite all the whineing, are really good kids. They are my greatest accomplishment. I'm grateful to be alive to celebrate my 10 year anniversary and I'm planning on going on a HUGE trip to celebrate my 50th anniversary.
Time really does goes quickly and now that I'm older I can really appreciate all the times my mom said - Don't try to grow up too fast. I'd suggest taking some time today to think about all the wonderful things that have happened to you in the last 10 years. Don't worry about remembering the bad moments, leave them in the past. Just focus on the good times and I know you'll be smiling as the happy memories replay in your mind.
All my love,
Ginger
