Weddings

This upcoming weekend we will be heading out to see a wedding in Colorado of a high school friend. This gal has actually been a friend of mine since we were 5. It is great that she found Mr. Right and I am so excited to be able to share the day with them. She made it out to our wedding seven years ago!!! I truly love weddings. And it is in the mountains, a mountain wedding!!! We pray now for them that they will stay in open communication through their years and meet each other's needs.

She isn't very religious so it will be very interesting to see what the service is like and if they have any readings from the Bible. Another friend of ours is officiating the wedding. In the state of Colorado you don't have to be an ordained minister or judge to marry someone. It is such a great personal touch to have someone you know be the one up there right in front helping to guide you through the ceremony.

So many marriages end in divorce. I have know idea what the actual percentage is but wow, it isn't good. No one goes into it thinking that they might not make it, that they might be part of that divorce statistic, that they don't have true eternal love. How do you get there? How do you go from being totally in love to not wanting to be in this person's life anymore? It is completely scary.

My husband and I are doing pretty good right now. Like I said, it has been 7 years and he still knows how to make me happy and holds onto me. Just last week we stayed up snuggling in bed until 2:00 am. I was hurting the next morning when the boys woke up at 6:50 but it was definitely worth it. We laughed and laughed so much and shared so many great memories of our dating years before and after meeting each other.

I am so glad to have that part of my life over (the dating part). I am so glad to know that I have my someone. I have this incredible person in my life to share everything with. To grow old with. To raise our kids with. To travel and explore with. To embrace all of life's struggles with. To do IT ALL with. I hope he feels that way too and I hope it lasts forever and I hope that we will NEVER be a part of that divorce statistic!!!
