Ten Years - Day 7

Today Sam and I are celebrating the 10th anniversary of our first date.  Ten Years...  How do you sum up that kind of time?  It seems like forever and yet it seems like such a short period of time.  I feel like we got here in a flash.  Where does the time go?  I can't believe that Sam and I have been together for 10 years.  It's like a third of our lives.  It's amazing how much has changed within that 10 year time span.

We met, we dated, we moved in together and then we bought a house.  We got engaged, I graduated with my BSW, we got married the next day.  We moved to NYC, I graduated with my MSSW, Sam got a new job that kept us in NYC.  We moved home, we had a baby, we are now celebrating our 10 year anniversary.

I am so in awe of this man that I have shared the last 10 years of my life with.  He is an amazing and caring husband and an energetic and patient father.  He makes me laugh, he makes me want to scream, he frustrates me, he makes me feel so lucky to have him.  He is tolerant of my bullshit, he knows all of me and still loves me.  We have grown together as a couple and as individuals over the last 10 years, but always moving towards the same goal - to have the most amazing family together.  We still have fun together.  He's still the first person I call with good news, bad news, to vent, to share a joke or just to say hi.  He's who I choose to spend all of my extra time with.  We have weathered many a storm and it just keeps getting better because we keep getting stronger.  I am still in love with this man and I can't see that changing.  I am so amazed that after 10 years, my love for him just keeps getting stronger.

To my baber, thank you for the most amazing 10 years.  I can't wait to spend another 50+ more with you. Thank you for being by my side through everything - good and bad.  Thank you for continuing to be willing to go on adventures with me.  Thank you for Elliot.

Go Team Levine!!  I love you!
