Mom and I were lounging in her sunroom one afternoon, discussing my impending engagement to my now-husband. At the time, I was blinded by rainbows and butterflies... remember that "ignorance is bliss" phase, newlyweds?!
My husband and I had a few laughs on the drive home about how nobody understood our relationship, how perfect we were for each other, and how the phrase “marriage is hard work” didn’t apply to us. We were in the type of relationship that others only dreamt of, and our marriage was going to be so easy...
BOY, were we in for a learning curve!!!

Yes, marraige is work, and I remember one friend telling me it wasn't - she ended up ending hers. But the work is so worth it! We are celebrating my 28th this year & it has gone by so fast! Happy SITS Day!

Awe...the honeymoon stage in the beginning of marriage! Marriage is definitely hard work, but SO awesome at the same time. My husband and I have been together for almost 8 years and I have loved every minute of it, and I can't wait for many more years to come! Happy SITS Day!
