After All These Years

Today my husband and I celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. The last 5 years have brought about so many changes in our lives. We have had our share of the good, the bad and the scary. But through it all, we held our faith that we would make it through. Sometimes we barely hold on, but we never let go.

I had originally planned to write a post commemorating our 5 year journey. But ironically, as I was driving to work this morning and shuffling through my iPod, this song from Journey came on and I thought, well that pretty much sums it up.

Happy Anniversary, honey. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of my life and for giving me the most amazing gift ever, our son. You have always been there to support me, to pick me up when I fall and encourage me. I can’t wait to see what the next 5 years has in store for us.


After All These Years – Journey

Faded wedding photograph
You and me in our first dance
Our eyes are closed... we're lost in one sweet embrace
Since those days our world has changed
Our love remains the same
God knows we've had our share of saving grace.

And I'm proud of all the blessings you have given me
The mountains we have climbed to get this far

You've learned to take the laughter with the tears
After all these years...

You make it feel brand new
After the fires that we walked through
Against the odds we never lost our faith
In our house we've made our own
Where our children all have grown
Precious moments time can not erase

Make a livin' up and down the gypsy highways
Seasons that we've learned to share apart

Somehow in my heart I always keep you near
After all these years

After all these years... you stood by me
the days and nights that I was gone
After all these years... you sacrificed...
believed in me and you stood strong
'Cause with our love...there's nothing left to fear
After all these years

  1. I may not "know" you in person but I can say this, you two were meant for each other. I can sense it in your day to day, every day.
