Day 14 - Superman, Man of Steel. 2013
Day 15 - 22 Jumpstreet, 2014
Day 16 - The Peanuts Movie, 2015
Each of these movies represented the most memorable movie we saw that year. The movie we picked wasn't necessarily the best, but the movie we eventually picked to represent the year really took us back - which is the point of the exercise. We wanted to reminisce on that year and feel grateful for having been a couple through it.
Tonight is Day 17 and the movie that represents 2016 is of course Star Trek Beyond as Max is a proud Trekkie. But I also really loved this movie and the other two reimagined Star Trek movies that came before it.
To be with someone for this long, to be with, not only with the love of your life but my best friend is more than I could ever ask for. 25 years ago I was content with my commitment to focus on the kids. Only after they all graduated, would I allow myself to entertain the notion of being with someone, but the Lord had other plans.
Having journeyed with Max through it all was so worthwhile, I wouldn't mind doing it all over again in my next life (if there ever is one for me). I know that I will find him and love him just as much in any other lifetime.
Wow, 20 years!😍 I hope we can have 20 more years or as much time God will bless us with. 💗
P.S.: Thank you for reading this blog post. There is a part two, on the day of our 20th year! 💕
