10 Years Ago Today April 28, 2005

Exactly one decade ago my husband and I went on our first date. We met in high school but didn’t start dating until two weeks before graduation. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years.

We’ve been through a lot in those ten years, especially the last few. Of course we never saw this crap coming. Who could? I have to say, though, that I wouldn’t trade our relationship for anything. Despite the hell that we’ve been though, I couldn’t imagine life any other way.

I feel so lucky to have such an amazing husband and solid marriage. Just knowing that we’re not only surviving the hell that is infertility, but that’s it actually making us stronger as a couple is such a blessing. I know that we have so much more to face together, but I have no doubt that we’ll make it through it in one piece.

Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!

You already know this, but you are so lucky to have met your husband when you were both starting out. Although who knows what would have happened had we met earlier, I wish that I had the chance to grow up a bit with mine.

That’s awesome Amanda. It’s great to have that kind of relationship with your husband. The husband and I will have our 10 year dating anniversary this July too. We’ve known each other for 20 years and have been dating since the summer between junior and senior year in high school. Our relationship has also grown since dealing with infertility too.

It’s amazing what can be accomplished with husbands like that.

Congrats again!

Happy anniversary. This amazing, strong relationship is not something everyone has, especially after everything you guys have been through over the past few years. So happy you have that to take you through the tough times.

AWW, your husband is so sweet!

I get all warm and fuzzy when I see high school sweethearts since T and I fell in love when we were 13.

Congratulations! I hope it only gets better from here.

Congratulations! My husband and I have been married 20 years in June, together 22 years. I’m grateful and unbelievably happy to have such a great marriage. We were young, and it was meant to be. We’ve been through a lot together, but you’re right, it makes you stronger as a couple.
