I love the honesty. Relationships require so much effort, and I wish more people realized this (especially going into a marriage). I have friends who just completely felt defeated when their marriage wasn't a perfect "happily ever after" fairytale. But ... That's not real life. There are definitely the beautiful, special, magical moments in any relationship, but there are also the arguments, disappointments, and hard times. <br /><br />I think the true definition of real, lasting love can be summed up with one of your statements in this post: "Every time that was good and every time that was bad over the past 13 years together, we chose to stay in the car. We're still on the road." I hope you two have many more wonderful years together in that car, traveling that road together.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757174923718324262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-88960149355898975622015-09-28T16:42:50.067-04:002015-09-28T16:42:50.067-04:00This made me tear up, and I'm going to blame i...This made me tear up, and I'm going to blame it on hormones at this particular time of the month. This pretty much makes me even more excited to get married. The thought of potentially dragging Leland on a 10 day road trip to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary makes me giddy with excitement!Heather Lockharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362609895956252991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-77119552753379482732015-09-27T16:07:29.968-04:002015-09-27T16:07:29.968-04:00HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

To the two of you :) That's such a great accomplishment, so many years ahead but so many to look back on. :) I agree wholeheartedly that relationships are work and there are days when you really wish they would just end and years that are harder than others.. I'm sure you can agree there are days you just want to kill them but at the end of hte day there's no one else worth fighting wtih or for than that person. Hope you guys have a great journey!!

As hard as parenting is, sometimes, marriage is harder because you're dealing with someone who's got behaviors/beliefs/thoughts that are engrained. At least with kids, you can help mold them ;). Anyways, congrats again!lisacnghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404184287815243972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-78375421530088627222015-09-25T13:22:30.529-04:002015-09-25T13:22:30.529-04:00happy anniversary to you both, love you guys!happy anniversary to you both, love you guys!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422365462021152556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-84797066073389241472015-09-25T13:21:49.181-04:002015-09-25T13:21:49.181-04:00this is quite possibly the best anniversary post i...this is quite possibly the best anniversary post i have ever read! love it all. happy anniversary!Kristen @ See You In A Porridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592108031437491276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-72728838404479347022015-09-25T13:10:37.156-04:002015-09-25T13:10:37.156-04:00Happy anniversary to a wonderful couple who I admi...Happy anniversary to a wonderful couple who I admire so much.
