20 + 1 + 3

(hrlb captures our time)

20 years ago, we got married.
21 years ago + 3 days, we had our first kiss.

What is in a number? I have been thinking about that a lot lately. Here are some of the things in our number.

7331 days
20 years, 26 days
8 pregnancies

5 Carrs

9 houses
5 grandparents that have died
1 parent that died
2,460 miles driving the length of I10
19 states traveled
1 country visited (if mexico counts)
1 car on fire

7 Rush concerts
3 dogs
5 cats
8 cars

But what is really in a number?

I don't know. 20 years.

We have dishes to wash.

We have bills to pay.

And we have love.

We have clothes to wash.

We don't own a home.

Everyday there is some stress.

And we have love.

So far we have won.

We are beating the odds.

I have never been a person that wins at anything.
We have friendship.

We have trust.

We find humor.

And we have love.

I feel in my bones that we will be married forever.

I can't imagine this love going away.

20 is just a number.
And we still have love.
