Recently our family has been in a full swing of "new". I used to be exited about new, and don't get me wrong I still enjoy new things and I definitely am not complaining about these new experiences, but this has also made me appreciate things that are old, especially the things we are not able to do because we are military. I admire people who have had the same old car for 10 years and have taken care of it and paid it off. I admire people who have had the same home for several years and made it work and flourish. I admire people who have held the same job for several years and have excelled at their career. I think our world is so consumed with "new" we no longer appreciate those older things the way we should. One thing I admire most, are the people who have nurtured marriages and made them last. Our marriage is still fairly new, it's only 5 years old, but I look forward to the many days, years,and eternity ahead I have with this amazing man. I want an old marriage, I want to grow old with my husband. I want to share grandchildren with him, memories of a life together, a home, and adventures. I love him. I'm so grateful I have him.
