10 Years Strong...Have I told you Lately that I Love You?

 

 The 10 year Anniversary symbolizes strength.  

It is said that that marriage has shown to be flexible, bendable.  Like the metals tin or aluminum.  The strength is also compared to a diamond, beautiful, strong, unbreakable.

A marriage at the 10 year mark has encountered changes wonderful as well as difficult.

We have had so many wonderful experiences in the last 10 years, and some tough ones as well.  

We have persevered as a team, a united force that can handle whatever we are faced with.  We hold closely the love and commitment we promised to one another.

Our bond has grown, every day, stronger than I even imagined was possible. 

When I look into his eyes, I fall more and more in love every time.

We are watching our four beauties grow and are teaching them what love is, what is means and the power of what love holds within.

I love you Matt.  

I love our life.

I love the intrigue of what the future will hold for us.

 While doing some research on 10...I found this song and I'd say it fits us.

"I Won't Give Up"
by: Jason Mraz

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No: I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up, still looking up.

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
