13 Years Ago Today...

Brian and I started out as husband and wife. We went to a little chapel in OKC after getting our blood tests done for STDs (what a way to start a life...) and stopping at a pawn shop to buy wedding rings. It was a whim at the time with a touch of certainty that we had chosen the right person. We were young and thought that "til death do us part" would be easy enough. Well, we learned quickly that it's easier said than done. I still feel in my heart "til death do us part" and hope to still feel this way for the next however many years we have together...
