Weekly Photo Challenge: Change

September 25, 2015

—

Change is the theme for the Weekly Photo Challenge.

Marriage makes you vulnerable and strong. It brings out the best and worst of you, and then it CHANGES YOU in ways you could never have expected…for the better. -Maggie Reyes

What better way to depict change than to share a photo of my husband and I showing a 34-year span. This was on our cake table at our wedding in 2013. We knew each other from high school in San Diego, then reconnected 31 years later in Northern California via Facebook.

Maybe our appearances haven’t changed too much…I’m told we still look the same. But I am forever changed by being his partner and the joy he brings me.

Love this post. I’m married to my high school sweetheart too! In fact we have known each other since kindergarten, growing up within a few miles of one another. We lived many places over the years and traveled extensively. I have come to understand that what made all those moves and the travel easy was the fact that we show with a shared history.

All my best to you.

  That is very cool, you are one of the lucky couples. That shared history, and values, are very important in a sustainable relationship!

Nice thought of your marriage to highlight it. I thought a lot about what to post.

My husband and I were together 13 years before we got married. Lots of people asked us if anything changed after the wedding. In many ways, not so much. But, in a very profound, wonderful way, things changed tremendously. Being married to your best friend is the best, right?

  Yes! And I didn’t know that about you. After that amount of time, not much can change for the worse!

This is wonderful Terri. It doesn’t look as though either of you have changed much, but i bet your lives have changed so much since then. 🙂
