You're Still the One
|
I was so young. At the time, I didn't think that 21 was so young, but now, 15 years later, I'm a touch more aware of just how young I was when I entered marriage. We were so different then. Life was so easy and carefree. We were broke, but it was all that we knew so it wasn't anything that we couldn't handle. Our only car somehow managed to carry us wherever we needed to go. The house was always so clean....these three little boys who make it messy today, were but dreams back then. It seems like a different life. And it really was a different life. We were different people. We've grown individually and together. We've weathered a lot. We've laughed a lot. I don't think that we would have made it through the last 15 years without laughter. All these years later, we still have fun together. It all started with just the two of us and has now grown into this lively, chaotic, blessed family of five. Sometimes I miss the quietness of those early years, but I-know-that-I-know-that-I-know that we are living the best years of our life right now, in this moment. Watching each year pass by more quickly than the last, and our children, so rapidly, growing up before our eyes, I am so very aware of the fact that, all too soon another fifteen years will have passed. How quickly our lives become pages in the history books and memories in the photo albums. How precious today becomes when you realize how many yesterdays have passed. And today, I'm thankful for all that the last fifteen years have brought into my life. The good, the bad, the blessings, the difficulties - I'm ever thankful for it all because it has brought us right where we are now....and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Happy Anniversary. In the words of Shania Twain.... Looks like we made it Look how far we've come now baby We mighta took the long way We knew we'd get there someday They said, "I bet they'll never make it" But just look at us holding on We're still together still going strong You're still the one I run to The one that I belong to You're still the one I want for life You're still the one that I love The only one I dream of You're still the one I kiss good night Ain't nothin' better We beat the odds together I'm glad we didn't listen Look at what we would be missin' They said, "I bet they'll never make it" But just look at us holding on We're still together still going strong You're still the one I run to The one that I belong to You're still the one I want for life You're still the one that I love The only one I dream of You're still the one I kiss good night. ....looking forward to the next fifteen.... |
