Wedding video

Earlier this month, my husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary.  About a week later, we decided to get out our wedding video and watch it.  The kids had never seen it, and I thought they would enjoy it.  It was really neat to watch it, and of course it brought back so many memories.  There were definitely some bittersweet parts.  At the time, my father didn't require oxygen 24/7.  And of course, we got to see some people who have passed on...my grandfather who died about 18 months after my wedding, my cousin Gary who died about three years ago, and several friends of my parents who are no longer with us.  At the same time, it was amazing to realize how much more I love my husband than I did that day.  Of course a wedding is fun (and I've been told by many that we threw a great party!), but it was just a day...our first day as husband and wife.  Now, all these years later, my husband and I have been through so much.  I'm very grateful for the fact that our good times outweigh our bad times what seems to be nine-to-one...and we are very blessed for it.  It made me proud of the life we've built together, and I'm also very grateful for the friends and family who help share our life with us!
