Each year goes by very fast when youre married . One rolls into the next and before you know it, youre hitting those five- and ten-year milestones, wondering exactly how its been that long since you first said, I do.

If youre anything like my husband and I and many other couples in the world its probably because those first years are a blur. They are the tough years, after all. Not every moment is wedded bliss and because of this, Im so glad we ended up waiting to take a honeymoon four years, to be exact.
