Today, I awoke to find a "Venti Peppermint Mocha" on the breakfast bar, along with a Starbucks gift card and a note from my husband. It is our 19th wedding anniversary.
Nineteen years with the same person. That's longer than kids go to school from kindergarten through college. I have now lived with my husband as long as I lived with my parents. Even better: I now have been with him half of my life.
