May 2026

May is the Seventeenth Wedding Anniversary of Chris and my marriage.

Instead of reflecting on each year individually, I want to emphasize the significance of our Seventeenth Year together.

My intention is to present a list of 10 meaningful aspects that exemplify this milestone.

I believe this approach may offer encouragement & guidance to couples on their marital journey.

Year Seventeen for us

We appreciate the dedication we've built, moving from romantic feelings to a conscious commitment to love.
Endurance has been HUGE, to say the least - as we say, “This is mid-life, less about perfection, more about choosing.”
Intentionally renewing intimacy, such as focusing on our friendship and passion in the throws of routine.
Our relationship being enriched and deepened by time and shared experience.
To say without question, we have matured in our covenant.
Became aware of having a solid, dependable foundation, even when facing powerful winds.

With our hands together in strength and steadiness, nothing can break our resolve.
A chosen team-based approach, us against our boys at times, *laughs.
When sometimes it takes a hard push to help the other move along.
We recognize who is observing our union, others, especially our two sons.

Could we discover greater true happiness in the coming years?

I say, yes, without a doubt.

It’s a profound love we share; we will confidently step into the future…

We look forward to meaningful moments and ongoing personal growth.

We’ll prepare to take on whatever comes our way—Believing nothing is beyond our reach!

So here to now…what a Celebration! Seventeen Years!
