Hi All,
2 1/2 hours until our 7th anniversary. We got married kind of young as well. Dh proposed to me the day before my senior year in high school. I was 19 and he was 20 when we married. We have been together for 10 years total now (16 and 17 when we met). We like to look back at ourselves and talk about what we used to be like and where we are now. We both never thought we'd be where we are today (it's all good)
.We have had such an awesome marriage and it gets better daily.
We started trying for a family in mid 1998 (year after we were married) whether it be adoption or birthing children or both. We started the adoption process then stopped due to numerous things in our lives. Then in 2000 we started the process again as well as became serious about conception. We weren't concieving and after tests and so on, we let it go. This was in about 2001, 4 months before our son was placed with us. He is almost 3 now.
Our son has been a blessing in our marriage. We laugh more but definatley deal with more stress. It has really been fulfilling parenting him. I don't think it would've been this good of experience though if we hadn't had a good marriage before hand. Sorry for the long post All.
