Six Months Since .....

This morning as I was brushing my teeth I realized that just a few days ago Ty & I had been married for 6 months; it went by with no fanfare or cards or gifts, and I thought about it and came to the following conclusion ..... when you plan on spending the rest of your life with someone that if you were to celebrate ever month or two or six, it would get irritating and expensive!

Remember when you were in grade school or high school and you and your boyfriend would celebrate every month!? Were we actually celebrating because we knew it wasn't forever and so the gift train would eventually come to a stop and you should celebrate whatever will fit into those months? Because seriously Ty and I have NEVER celebrated a "month" anniversary - we have exchanged cards some years to mark "year" anniversaries, but no large gifts - just nice words (written by Hallmark or ourselves)!

And I am not even trying to convince people that I KNEW the moment I met Ty that he was my forever ...... but I can say that I never looked at him and said "oh sugar bear, we have been dating two months - yeah *gag*" .... that is SO not a milestone when you're staring down a 60 year wedding anniversary! I have always said that our relationship progressed very naturally - it was never a ticking clock, it was never a calendar date or a deadline - just a feeling like we were ready to take the next step; whether that be moving in together, buying our first place, or getting married (I must say however, I was ready for the next "diamond" step sooner - as were friends & family!).

So, here we are with 6 months (and 5 years) under our belts ..... I guess "happy anniversary babe" is in order, but really, when I look at my 6-month husband the only 6-months I can imagine celebrating with him is our kids 6-month birthdays!

Here's to the first 6 months of marriage, and the 60 more years to come ...... it has been perfectly wonderful!

XO,
