I just really can’t believe that I’ve been married for 5 years. I feel so old saying this, but where did the time go? I can hardly fathom how much my life has changed since we were married.
When Jim and I got married, I was 18 years old. I worked at Palisade Pharmacy for under $8 an hour. Jim worked at a telemarketing company for like, $8.50 an hour. Our rent was $350 a month, all we had to pay was trash and electricity. We had virtually no debt.

Now we have a mortgage, a thriving business with 3 employees. A daughter who, no matter how many times I tell her, will not go get her pants on! A son who likes to bite everything, including aforementioned daughter. In a blink of an eye your life can up and change on you. I think I’m finally getting used to the fact that this is my life now. I’m learning that although it can be SO hard, it can also be SO good. In a time when some of my friends haven’t made it to their 5th wedding anniversary, I’m so very thankful that I have a husband that I love tremendously and that loves me back.
