This day

I will marry my friend,

the one I laugh with, live for

dream with, love

Today hubby and I celebrate our twelfth wedding anniversary.  Twelve years…not too shabby, right? And we dated for five years before that. I’ve been with my hubby for more than half my life. Pretty cool, huh?

I love you, honey, even more than I did when we kissed in this photo a dozen years ago. Here’s to a dozen more dozens!

The saying above the photo came from my wedding invitation, which I came across when I started browsing my wedding album trying to decide which photo to share. So much has changed in the last dozen years. As I was flipping through my album I noticed how many people who were at my wedding who aren’t in my life anymore. There have been deaths, divorces, and people who I’ve simply lost touch with over the years. But it also made me thankful for the friendships that have lasted. All of you who regularly follow this blog know that Lisa and I have been friends for-evah. Heck, I’ve known her four years longer than I’ve known my hubby. So, since this is the Ashleigh Raine blog, I thought it appropriate to close this post by sharing a picture of us on my wedding day. Holy crap we were young.  Look at Lisa’s hair! And me–way too many pounds ago. LOL.

   Thank you, Julie. I’m a very lucky lady. I’m typing this as my husband does the dishes in the other room. Yes, I’m a very lucky lady.

   Man, I don’t think I can even remember Lisa’s hair this long. As long as I’ve known here it’s been short. I remember the ‘DragonLady’s’ hair cut when we first met, short (just below her ear) and long on the one side. Loved it. It was so Lisa. And do you realize Jenn, this is the first time I’ve even seen your wedding pix. I really wished I could have made it down for that day (and Lisa’s too).
   Love ya.
