March 4, 2000

...the day I pledged my love and faithfulness to my new husband. 

...the day I left all that I knew - same town, same neighborhood, same house since I was born - and set off on a new adventure with him on the other side of the country.

...the day I left my father's protection and found myself under the protection of a husband.

...the day that the Lord made us one, till death do us part.

Ten years ago today.

I just read this quote today and thought it was a beautiful picture of a loving marriage:

"It is no wonder if so many years, so many endearments, so many obligations have produced such an uncommon effect, that by long habit, it is almost impossible for me to draw a breath, in which you are not involved."  -- John Newton to his wife Polly
