Happy 13th Anniversary, Babe!

There's a song by Shania Twain entitled "You're Still the One." Everyone knows I hate country music, but every time I hear that song I can't help but think of my husband.

We have lots of statistical odds against us: we were married young, we were pregnant when we got married, and I come from a divorced household. Despite statistics, we've spent the last 13 years relishing every day together. We've spent much time away from each other, but there was never any doubt that we could make it.

I'll let Shania say it best.

Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday


They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong


(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night


Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'


They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong

(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
