Every 5 years, we have gone on a trip. At year 5, we went to the Bahamas. and on our 10-year anniversary we spent a long weekend on Amelia Island.
Today, my husband and I have been married 15 years. We have been joking and calling it our 15-year "We're not divorced" anniversary. But in truth, I think 15 years of marraige is something to be proud of- especially since he still leaves his dirty clothes on the floor...
We decided on Charleston, SC for our 15-year trip. We are interested in possibly retireing one day down this way, and decided to start some scoping. So, here we are, immersed in a town full of history and shopping.
It's beautiful here. We spent the day walking in the sun, shopping and eating and drinking along the way. And as we walked along the harbour holding hands, we talked anout how lucky we are, and how far we have come in the last 15 years. When we got married, we couldn't even afford a honeymoon. That didn't really bother either of us then, for we were so in love and just happy to be man and wife.
But 15 years later, we decided to splurge a little, since we hadn't been able to do so in the beginning. So tonight I write my blog wrapped in a white bathrobe, atop a gorgeous 4-poster king bed. Our bathroom is bigger than my bedroom at home, and we have a veranda overlooking the harbour that is full of history. There were chocolates on our pillows when we returned from dinner, and we will get breakfast in bed tomrrow morning.
Today's picture represents celebrating sharing a life with someone who makes you happy, even though he may leave his dirty clothes on the floor- and that a honeymoon later is better than never.
