i believe in marriage

Happy Anniversary, Kelley and Travis!

My wonderful sister and brother-in-law celebrated

their 11th year of marriage

yesterday!

I admire them so much and look to them as role models for my own marriage.

I love how they respect each other.

I love how they parent their boys.

I love how they always put their relationship first.

Charlie and I have been blessed by their example.

"there is no greater risk than matrimony.

but there is nothing happier than a happy marriage."

--benjamin disraeli, 1870

in a letter to queen victoria's daughter louise,

congratulating her on her engagement.
