May. 6, 2008 - 19 Years!
Today is my 19th wedding anniversary. My sweet husband and I were married on this date in 1989. We were, of course, mere babes. When I look at our wedding picture I notice that my husband looks exactly the same. I cannot say the same for me, however. Three children have...seasoned me. Not the specific children as they are precious and for the most part a dream to parent. But let's face it girls, carrying, birthing, and raising kids is hard on the body. Homeschooling adds some mileage, too. Perhaps it's because I'm still in the "turning 40 mode" too, but I see my aging much more than I see my husband's. He protests and says I am just as beautiful as I was...more so. Yeah right! I say he is blinded by love. I appreciate his blindness profusely, but he is blind none the less.
If his statements are true, then tell me why...
he has ZERO gray hair and I visit my cousin so that she can do a chemistry experiment on my head on a bi-monthly basis to hide mine?
he is within 5 pounds of the exact weight he was when we walked down the aisle and I.....am not?
his smile lines give him character and mine look like the Rio Grande Gorge speading across my face?
Yes, 19 years has seemed to have made a huge difference in me and yet he looks the same. As long as he keeps seeing me as the barely 21 year old that walked down the aisle with him I guess I shan't complain any more. I thank God for these 19 years and all that they encompass. May God bless us with many, many more!
Blessings,
Rhonda
