As we celebrate two years of marriage after a decade of being together, I am grateful for the journey my husband and I have embarked upon. It hasn't been all peaches and cream (laughing out loud), but I wouldn't have wanted to go through it with anyone else. I'm blessed to have my husband as my life partner, and as I reflect on our incredible journey and our recent celebration in Curaçao, I am filled with joy and much gratitude.

A Decade of Love and Growth:

Our love story began ten years ago. My husband and I met via mutual friends while living overseas but only connected after returning to the U.S. and running into each other while out and about. Little did we know of the waves ahead of us. We have witnessed each other's growth, supported one another's dreams, and weathered the storms that life has thrown our way. Our love has grown stronger with time, and I am grateful for every moment we have shared.

Ups and Downs:

Like any relationship, we have faced our fair share of ups and downs. We have learned that marriage is not always a smooth sail, but the commitment to work through challenges strengthens our bond. We have taken the time to know one another, which has enhanced our ability to communicate, compromise, and support each other, which has been the cornerstone of our relationship and love for one another.

Blessed with a Life Partner:

In moments of reflection, I think about how fortunate I am to have my husband as my life partner. He is my rock, my confidant, and my biggest supporter. His love and support have been instrumental to my growth and the person I have become over the past ten years, my accomplishments, and the enlargement of our territory due to the foundation laid. I am grateful for his presence in my life and our beautiful partnership.

Celebrating in Curaçao:

To celebrate our second anniversary, we traveled to Curaçao, a Caribbean gem that provided the perfect backdrop to relax, reconnect, and create new memories. We ate good food, drank too much, conversed well, laughed, danced, and cherished every moment together. It was a reminder of the importance of prioritizing quality time and nurturing our relationship amidst the busyness of life. These shared experiences deepened our connection and created lasting memories we will cherish forever.

As we celebrate two years of marriage after a decade of being together, I am overjoyed by our cultivated love and partnership. Our journey has been filled with ups and downs, but our bond has grown stronger through the challenges. Our celebration in Curaçao allowed us time to appreciate each other, explore a new country, and create beautiful memories. Here's to many more years of love, growth, and adventure together.
