So, I was randomly thinking today about what I was doing 10 years ago. 10 years ago at this time I was in the middle of planning my wedding. We were picking the photographer that I decided after the fact I DID NOT like. (they weren't as neat as today's photographers) We were ordering flowers from Glassing Florist...the best place in the state. I was trying on the practice dress that was hand made by my soon-to-be mother-in-law. I was addressing wedding invitation and announcements to get them in the mail as our wedding was only 2 months away.
Why is it that this is really the first time since we got married that I have thought this way prior to an anniversary? Just because it's going to be the tenth? Is it because there are many days that I wish we could go back to the easier days when were weren't in debt or we weren't making bad financial decisions? It is because I wish I maybe would have gone back to school before the wedding or before kids?
I don't regret anything. I love my husband, his family and our life. Did I think we'd be in a better place with certain things? Yep. BUT, we have a great family. We have a great marriage and our kids.....we'll, I think they are pretty great. I am proud, so far at how we've raised them. Yeah, we're going to be in some debt for awhile. That's life.
10 years ago this very day....I was planning my wedding. And here we are....I've been a farmer's wife for 10 years. We have 3 awesome kids. I have some pretty great parents-in-law, some really great brothers & sisters-in-law and some cute, adorable and fun nieces and nephews.
I have a pretty great set of families myself! :)
