We would normally celebrate it on a weekend, but because we have a upcoming vacation, we thought that was kind of silly and we would just celebrate it then! Heck, our whole vacation will be a celebration!Amy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878073765579182362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365694657538005233.post-89129637954502559572017-08-25T07:52:39.270-05:002017-08-25T07:52:39.270-05:00Thanks Shannon!Thanks Shannon!Amy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878073765579182362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365694657538005233.post-65092246765399300062017-08-24T22:39:41.790-05:002017-08-24T22:39:41.790-05:00Happy belated anniversary.

A lot of marriages crumble and fall apart during the empty nest phase because the couple can't figure out how to just be a couple again after the children leave.

It's always hard as a blogger trying to determine what to share and what to keep private. I wish I could share more! When torn about whether or not to share something I ask myself "Will this hurt anyone?" and "Will this help anyone?" and those answers help me with the decision.Amy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878073765579182362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365694657538005233.post-65730397448447638162017-08-22T11:20:29.561-05:002017-08-22T11:20:29.561-05:00Happy Anniversary!

Your right about youth, sometimes I think a lot of marriages that end in divorce, probably would not have had the couple been more mature. That's not to say I don't believe in getting married young, not at all, I'm just saying we're not as wise when we are young and argue over things we probably wouldn't when we're older. I actually find it funny now when certain things happen in our lives and I think back what my reaction would have been twenty years ago to how I react now. We do mellow a bit and don't sweat the small stuff.<br /><br />You really should go to the Biltmore. It's not that far for you, we spent the night with my kids in Illinois and were able to drive all the way to the Biltmore the next day no problem. It is expensive, but so worth it. Plan to spend the entire day though! It's a lot to see! We got there the second it opened and we were the very last people to leave at dusk. I would love to go back at Christmas sometime. They fill the castle with gorgeous fresh floral arrangements every day, and they change those arrangements with the seasons.Amy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878073765579182362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365694657538005233.post-25824248398305418102017-08-22T09:16:53.488-05:002017-08-22T09:16:53.488-05:00Thanks Laura!Thanks Laura!Amy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878073765579182362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365694657538005233.post-54075387391516813852017-08-22T09:14:35.271-05:002017-08-22T09:14:35.271-05:00What a beautiful card Amy!

And congratulations again! <br /><br />We've been married almost 20 years, and I have to admit, the first few years were definitely the most trying for us as well, and it was extremely hard for me as all my family members were overseas. Funny when I look back, most of our arguments were because of silly stuff not worth an argument. But what do you know when you're young and have to learn to live with another person LOL. <br /><br />I really wanted to visit Biltmore Estates on our way to Myrtle Beach this year, but time was an issue, although we actually made it to the estate, there was no way to just look around the gardens for a few minutes without paying the price. It's definitely still on my bucket list!
