Congrats!! That is awesome, I love hearing stories like yours! I have to say that years 7-8-9 were the roughest for my hubby & I, (14th anniv. coming up in sept.) But I swear, we're 1000% more in love now than when we got married, (and it's even more hot & steamy!) I honestly have more fun hanging out with him -at home or anywhere- than I ever have with anyone else, ever. So be proud of your milestone! especially since it's extra hard on a marriage when money is tight, you never know how long you will have each other. One of my best friends lost her hubby to a drunk driver last year, and since then, it's pretty hard to get frustrated or angry with each other over the usual stuff, because those things aren't important anymore. My husband is a federal law enforcement agent, and risks his life every day for our country, and we have 2 kids ages 9 & 10. It scares me that we won't make it to 50 years- but not because of divorce! Many of my divorced friends just didn't respect what it means to be married, but they're the ones missing out. I have a feeling that you guys will be playing bingo together at 85, because it's pretty special when you're excited enough to share it here with all of us! Way to go, givennsz!!!!
