Congrats!!! We were going to renew our vows on our 10 year, but decided to wait until 15 now (3 years away)! That gives me time to lose some weight and we'll also have freed up our money in several ways (CS will be ending next year...for starters). 10 years is a great milestone!

Thank you!!
Marriage is work and I think so many people in society today just do not want to work at marriage - those who do work at it tend to make it and those who do not - get divorced - obviously it isn't that simple but I think you get what I mean =)

BTW I am loving these personal updates!
Awesome that you guys have had a great 10 year marriage. My SD went to Vegas one of the times her Mom married and she loved it there. I am sure your step kids will LOVE it too! CONGRATS!!
I hope BM still has a chance to come to her senses. Someone just recently told me that too many people look for a man or woman to COMPLETE them when really a person needs to already be complete to form a union and that a SO should compliment you, not complete you. Sounds like a lesson BM needs to learn. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
Is SS in his last year of HS? Is he planning on attending a CC? 9th grade with honors is TOUGH. DD struggled at times, but always pulled it out. It seemed like she had to choose a lot between studying or socializing. She choose studying and missed out on a lot especially first semester.
My son had his first real GF this year. He is 16. I was constantly worried he get his heart broken or find someone who would take advantage of him. He is my firstborn and has such a compassionate heart! Anyway they broke up and now he is sort of seeing someone else. I never lead on that I like or dislike his girlfriends. Her parents loved my son, but I think once you make that known it is easy for the kids to get too comfortable in their relationship with each other. I don't want my teens too comfortable :P

She did pass-- over a 3.0. She got two A's and two B's. One of the B's was a C, but the professor gave them extra credit to equal 5 percentage points. The two A's were in throw away classes. The other B was in her Nursing class. The Lab was a P/F. She passed her assessment it was on Mental Health.
She will start clinicals in the Fall- 6 hours a week and we will see from there if she can stomach it. She does surprise me at times, BUT if you recall she refused to touch someone's foot. I tell her she will be touching a heck of a lot more in clinicals!!! She picked a small hospital- against her Dad's wishes- because she said she tends to get overwhelmed. She is afraid a big hospital will be too much for her. He feels like she would learn more and see more at a bigger hospital.
After getting in trouble for FOUR room violations at college- including alcohol- her and another girl- were still chosen as Resident Advisers. Lord help them!! I don't know how that is possible...but I think almost everyone who applied and had a decent GPA received a position as a RA. They lost a lot this past year. Maybe this will push her into being more responsible, one could only hope...
ETA: If this Fall semester goes well, she plans on joining the Navy. She is filling out all the forms now, interviews, etc. If she is accepted it won't be till Winter/Spring of 2013. Upon graduation and passing the NCLEX she would go into the Navy as Nurse.

Marriage is hard work, not every day is a good day but the difficult days are far less than what I'm hearing from friends. I have friends my age in their third marriage. Wow, you're only 32, hold off for 12 months between weddings! I think people feel so rushed to get married and settle down. We are living far beyond 40 now, so no need to rush things.

Congrats ssmom !
I think a vow renewal is awesome....if well into a marriage you can still look at your spouse and think "he/she IS my partner and we can get through anything".....I think that should be celebrated !
I'm anti-Heidi Kulm/Seal or Vicky from the RHoOC fake renewals when people try to prove something to the world or themselves that clearly just isn't there. It cheapens the whole idea.
Have fun in Vegas !
