What I Didn’t Know Then

Five years ago, I had no idea what the weather would be like.

Or that he would cry.

Or just how much fun the night would be with our friends and family.

Five years ago, I had no idea how much fun the first year of marriage would be.

Or how hard.

Or just how much our lives would change that year.

Five years ago, I had no idea how hard it was going to be.

Or how much we were going to have to fight to keep our marriage alive.

Or the joy that parenthood has brought to our lives.

Five years ago, I had no idea the struggles we would face.

Or just how great it would feel to get the keys to OUR house.

Or how great life would be today.

Because despite the tough, the stressful, and the frustrating – there has has been much more happiness, excitement and love.

Five years ago, I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

But I’m glad I didn’t know – this life is an adventure that I wouldn’t want to discover with anyone else.

Happy Anniversary, I love you!
