Today Steven and I celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We married after only 7 months of dating, which was a risky move. We were barely 22 and in love. We thought we were ready for marriage. We just wanted to be together.

We have now learned that marriage is hard work. It is not easy. But it is also rewarding, fun, and exciting. Ultimately, we have found that we are both better people for being with each other. Marriage has helped us grow and change in positive ways. The two most memorable moments of our marriage were when our children, Madeleine and Ephraim, were born. We are now a family.

I am so fortunate to be married to a wonderful man who has always loved and adored me, has supported me in every endeavor, has been my shoulder to cry on, my rock, and an awesome father to our children. Steven is truly my best friend, knowing me at my worst and still loving me. Happy anniversary, babe!
