Our love story is no fairy-tail, no ones' is. One thing we share is love, love for one another, love for our Lord and savior, love for our children, love for our family, and no I'm not saying all you need is love, but without it what's the point. If any relationship is going to be successful you have to make time to be together, make memories together, experience things together. It can be a $5 drive-in movie, or an exotic destination vacation. That part doesn't matter nearly as much as the time and attention, and experience of just being together. Time is our most precious commodity, and time spent loving one another is never wasted. 
These are a few of our memories from the summer of 2022 on our first long-distance cruise (more than a few hours) and our first real kid-free vacation for more than an overnight trip in our 22 years of marriage at this point.
