    Wow is all I can say
    I got lucky and found a great wife, companion, and friend. Looking back, I neve thought we would be together this long. Not because my wife is a bad person , but because of me. We had a pretty rocky beginning because I was pretty hard to get along with. Amy is as tough as they come with a ton of patience. When we first got together, I thought the world revolved around me. I was competing in rodeos across the upper Midwest and blew most of our income that we really needed. I chose to do what I wanted when I wanted and left her and the kids in the shadows. But. through the years I have softened up and realized she was the rock I so desperately needed, even though I didn’t realize it at the time. Lately, she has been my strength while I am continuing to fight the war inside my head. Without her understanding and patience, I can’t imagine where I would be right now. The last 10 years have definitely been an adventure and I look forward to the next 10. My only regret is she wanted an anniversary ring and I was unable to get one at this time. I really don’t know how I got so lucky finding her

    Congrats on 10 Years!

    On the ring it is the thought that counts! My wife wanted to get one for our 5 year so we got one that she loves and the best part is it was under $300. I definitly would pick one out together. But if you can afford 3 or $400 I am sure she would love it. Good luck and congrats.

    Congradulations Mike, she sounds like a real keeper by the way you talk about her. Enjoy the next 10 years with her too.

    What’s give Amy a kiss in the morning and tell her it’s from Briank….then tell her not to worry…as he wears pink once in a while.

    Just had our 10th on July the 26th. Hope all is going as good as ours. I’m just thinking about the 9 years to go and our kids will (SHOULD) be on their own, and the wife and I can do a little retiring…. I do have to mention that the wife and I are only 31 years young. congrats wats. I hope to meet up with you soon as I am from the same area (Blair).

    Wats,

    You are in good company. My parents are celebrating their 49th anniversary today. The date has good mojo so you should expect a long and happy marriage. Congratulations.

    Congrats Wats.

    I also wonder how any woman can deal with me for more then about 10 minutes, but I just got to 5 yrs.

    Heres to hoping for another 10 for you And when my wife brings up the ring thing, I always point out my Grandparents were married for 46 years before my G-pas death, and she never had a ring. Goes to show you that a ring is secondary to loving your partner

    Congrats you two! Now you get to spend the weekend with us . The thought is great about the anniversary ring, but what finger would she put it on? She has you wrapped around all the free ones now.

    congrats wats,

    I know how tough rodeo life can be on a couple let alone a married couple. I also know how expensive it is to get there, ride, and then party with the buddies afterwards and buy a few rounds. I used to ride bulls, rode the MRA circuit for a little while. but that was when me and my wife just met, I was comming out if it. but anyway, congrats on the 10 years and hope to see a post like this again in another 10.
