4 years...

angie & i have been married 4 years today.

we've come along way... and it has been a wonderful journey. but here's how it started:


when i read about marriage being so belittled due to statistics to show they don't work or are being preferred to living with partners or even relationships without the legality are free from policing... i often wonder whether we should have taken a different path re our relationship.

would we be better off without the legal part or would it make a difference to how we raise caleb. in honesty, i don't really know. i do know that somepart of me had it drilled in whilst i was growing up: if i am to spend my life with angie, if we wanted children and if we wanted to take these steps together that i should marry her. maybe that is tradition or socialisation... i can't really say. i am actually none the wiser, in my own mind, which is right or better.

i am, however, utterly thankful for these past 4 years. they have been incredible. i have had the most wonderful companion, friend and mentor. (angie is not bad either ;-) it really has been a treasure to have had this time together... and as i reflect on these years, i think its only just got going as it keeps getting better and better.
