Where does the time go? I was a bit hesitant to do a post surrounding our special anniversary because Grant and I certainly do not have life and/or marriage figured out.

Full disclosure: The past few years of our relationship was one of the most challenging, yet also the most rewarding to date. Between losing William and finding a comfortable work/life balance, we honestly had times where we questioned it all. A year ago today, Grant and I had never felt more distant. Yet here we are, on our 10 year anniversary since we’ve been together {dating for 10, married for 6} and things have fallen back into place in the best way possible.

It’s very easy to look at other relationships from the sidelines and think how “perfect” things must seem. Other times it’s tempting to judge or wonder if things are on the rocks. The truth is, no one ever really knows what is going on outside of the two people in the relationship.

A lot of you ask me about my relationship with Grant and while I usually don’t use this platform to open up about it, I thought today {on this amazing milestone we are celebrating} would be a nice time to share a few things that I have learned along the way {plus a few unpublished photos}.
