A dozen.

I've officially been with this guy for a dozen years. Considering we've been together for our entire adulthood, it really does feel like forever.

We were just babies when it all began; now, we've got 3 kids & a mortgage that prove we're bona-fide grown-ups. We're deep in the woods of parenting, but we're hanging onto each other for survival. Our relationship has evolved, & I think he'd agree with me that it's better than ever.

This beautiful life I'm living is a direct result of that first date 12 years ago. I feel so blessed to be living it with him.
