Happy Anniversary

I'm married 14 years today. I can't believe it, really. Not that it has flown by, I mean, I have 3 kids - we have accomplished a lot! It's just that I can't believe we made it this far. Does this mean it's forever? I keep looking for that year - that when you reach it you say - well, we have made it this far, we are together forever. I want the guarantee.

I know people that divorced after 35 years. Why would you stay together that long? You must have known that there were problems. What the hell. Stay together for the kids? Not a good idea. But, I can't imagine only seeing my kids every other week. It would have to be really bad.

But it's not bad. It's pretty damn good. I'm happy.

Let's look at the postives:
He loves me. Unconditionally from all I can tell.
He puts up with my moods.
He makes me laugh.
He teaches my kids all the details about throwing a baseball or football.
He does my daughters hair.
He loves my family.
We like the same restaurants.
We love vacations - with or without kids.
We have fun just the two of us.

What more can I ask? That he deal with more of the "housekeeping" with the house and kids, i.e. home improvements - shouldn't he handle these, and daycare during school closing - just once? Maybe he should deal with these things more often, but would I trade all of the above for that? I hope not.
