For those that don't remember, a lovely friend and I embarked on a dating "adventure," of sorts--the goal was to go on 100 (*gasp*) dates and keep a record of our undertaking. A few years (and innumerable awkward rendezvous) later, we are both joyfully married to amazing men!
Whenever I tell others about my "100 dates" project, I emphasize the idea that "dating" should NEVER stop just because you're married! Huh?!
My favorite college professors once illustrated that we work so hard on improving many aspects of our lives (gym classes for physical fitness, academic courses for career success, etc), but when it comes to marriage, our efforts fall by the wayside. The partnership that we've embarked upon is arguably the most important relationship in our lives--and we should dedicate as much effort to that arena as we do to others.
So, this blog is my pledge & commitment to keep our love & marriage strong for decades-worth of anniversaries. Through nights on the town, love notes, global adventures, tasty treats, sweaty dancing, hot air balloons and brunches, I vow to continue working at this until we're old, grey, and covered in wrinkles. I know we'll have our fair share of fights and challenges, but those are risks I'm willing to take. I'm in it for the long haul!
