Eleven years

We've just celebrated a wedding anniversary. Eleven years. The year of steel. I think at times a marriage needs to be made of steel. The pressure of children, lack of sleep, money, work, busy lives, can often work to undermine the strongest of relationships. It is easy to revel in the blessed and good times but it takes courage and determination to push yourself and your partner through the fragile phases of our lives.

I don't think Tools realised that it was the year of steel when he got me these little charms to celebrate this past year.
And here are the little charms in real life.
