10 years

Ten years seems like a long time. That's a whole decade. For many people, that is 1/8 of their entire lives. Most cars don't last that long. Ten years is a long time.

But then again, sometimes ten years can just fly by. Take us for instance. Can you believe that it was ten years ago today that Sara and I went on our first date? Can it really be ten years already? That just doesn't seem possible. It feels like it was just a short time ago that I finally got up the nerve to ask her out. It couldn't have been ten years ago. Surely not.

But then again, it seems like Sara and I have been together for a lot longer than that. It is hard for me to remember my life before we were together. I know I had one, but it just wasn't the same. Loving Sara has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me, and as each day passes, I love her more and more.

I thank God regularly for bringing her into my life. His plan is so much better than anything I could do myself. He brought us together for a reason, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

So, ten years is a long time. But when you have someone special to share it with, it makes all the difference in the world. These have been the best ten years of my life and I look forward to another 50.

I love you Sara.
