A few years ago, Jason and I talked about doing something big for our 10 year anniversary. We specifically dreamed about going away on a big trip. Well, the day came and went and we didn’t go on a big trip. Then, this last December, we were planning a trip to go snow skiing. At the last minute we decided not to go - we were feeling guilty about spending money and time on ourselves!
Tomorrow is our 11 year anniversary and this time we followed through with our plans. We were able to spend two days together on a houseboat for very little money. We had a blast and did not even feel guilty about it!
Who could argue that investing in your marriage is a bad thing? Who could argue that spending time away from your kids is wrong? In fact, our girls were excited that we went away. Marley said we are “love birds”.
Investing in our marriage makes us a stronger couple and makes us a stronger family. I want our girls to grow up knowing that relationships are real. That marriage is not just two people going through the motions. It is about love, support, respect and fun.

Just me and Jason for two days!
We enjoyed two beautiful sunsets!
The perfect anniversary trip!
