Nine Years

I woke up Sunday morning and thought I am so blessed to have married Josh. No, I didn’t just realize this, but I woke up with it on my mind. I believe that I had a dream about what my life would have been like if I hadn’t married Josh and it was horrible.


I only dated a few guys and had a few crushes before I started dated Josh. I started dating Josh nine years ago today!! Wow, that is almost a decade! I was a 17 year old junior in high school and he was a 19 year old freshman in college.

I know that I wouldn’t be living the life I have now if I would have married someone else. I wouldn’t have a dog named Fenway, a 6 foot by 6 foot painting of Ray Charles in my living room, the nickname Jewels, a collection of John F Kennedy biographies, Marilyn Monroe Andy Warhol plates, the list could go on and on. But, most importantly I wouldn’t be married to Josh and share the love that we do. I love you Josh!

I am thinking about writing our story out for this blog and publishing it little by little. Now I am not a master writer, but I want to write it. I think that our story deserves to be told because it is ours.
