This weekend is my 11 year wedding anniversary. Would you like to know the secret to having a happy, successful marriage? 

Step 1: Marry the right person. THE END.

I think there's something true about the saying, "Couples that play together stay together." I had the pleasure of working with my husband for nearly 10 consecutive years. You figure you spend at least 40 hours per week at your job, plus commute time. Life is short. You should be spending as much time as you can with the ones you love.

I was lucky enough to be with him nearly 24/7 for about a decade and I loved it. Not all couples could be together that much and survive. But I wouldn't want it any other way. I'm at my best when I'm with him. And I really hit the jackpot because he turned out to be a wonderful father.

I wanted to post a photo from each of the past 11 years, but could only find a few of us together. Usually one of us is snapping a picture of the other.
