while you're at BlogHer, I 'll be enjoying 6 years of wedded bliss. get some perspective people.

In six years there have been some peaks and valleys, as in all marriages I suspect.

Exacerbated by two kids.

Wiping ass all day, as you can imagine, is trying on the best of relationships.

Babies can be such buzz kills. Except when they're not and you sit together in awe of what you have created.

And then somebody shits their pants and the moment is gone.

Fortunately we have a lot of those moments and consequently a lot of shit pants.

But the thing about peaks and valleys, is the view from the peak is so spectacular that the valley is lost to you.

I can't remember what that fight was about where we didn't talk for a day, or what angry words we've said to each other. But I do remember the look in his eyes when our children were born and the smell of our first apartment.

After six years, we spent a day in the mountains together. We mostly spent time in the peaks.
