10 Years!

On February 15th Howie and I celebrated 10 years of marriage.  I can't believe sometimes that I am old enough to say I have two kids, and have been married ten years!  Maybe it is because I am around kids all day, I don't know, but I still feel really young. 
ANYHOW...
10 years.  I remember thinking I would be at least 30 before I honestly got married, but then I met Howie at the young age of 20.  I fell for him so quickly that people who knew me wondered what the heck was going on.  We started dating at the end of May and that October I canceled my plans to live in Mexico City for 6 months and practice Spanish.  We were engaged the following June and married the following February.
Our journey has not always been easy, but I feel fortunate to be married to my lover and husband.  
I could list millions of reasons why this is so, but the top three are that he makes me laugh,  feel safe, and he's my closest friend.  I love you, Howie!  I am looking forward to celebrating our anniversary this summer in San Fransisco, 
just the two of us!!!!

Here is a text that was forwarded to me that Howie wrote to my mom and dad on our anniversary:

February 15, 2013, exactly 10 years ago I married your daughter.  Thank you both for everything you've ever done to make Joy such a blessing to humanity.  She has moved my life and helped me grow beyond any measure I can adequately articulate.  So thank you again.   I love you both and I love your daughter.  Sincerely, Howie
 I love that guy.
