Bring on the rain!

I have read my wife's blog and understand she told you about our anniversary. Here's my take on the 12 years. They have been awesome - the one thing I cringe at is the "cookie cutter" descriptions of couples that are married for a long time. Some couples get along great for years and years without many problems and they seem to tackle life's challenges together. Give me a break - good for you couples. We have had high points and low points in our marriage/ challenges and rewards! I would have it no other way - it makes us stronger and keeps the years from going by to quickly. I don't want to have one disagreement with my wife every four years and sit on the front porch with only good times to talk about. I'm being serious - I want to make a mistake or get into it a little and learn from it. I don't want a calm to become a storm that is too overwhelming because the rain has never been felt. I like the rain showers and the sunshine. If the showers get to strong and a big storm comes then we are ready as a couple to handle it. Listen I have always worked to have consistency and calm in my life but sometimes its good to have passion and excitement and if I can have all of those things in a marriage then that's great. Guess what - we have them all and there great and I can't wait for another 12 years!
Love ya honey
