Milles Bornes is the name of a French card game. It means "a thousand milestones." That's what I've lived with my husband in the past 20 years. A thousand milestones and more.
Moves from Arkansas to Missouri to France to Africa to Washington.
Wearing a path on I-40 between school and home.
Blasting the heat on a car trip in 105 degree weather to keep the engine from overheating.
Trudging through the icy blast of Shamrock, TX in sub-zero weather to find shelter.
2 labors, 3 deliveries.
Culture Shock
College, Internship, Language School, Boat School, the School of Life.
We've grown up together, almost raised each other. (Can't you tell from the picture that we married at 13?)
Love has a way of getting you over bumps and through dips in the road. Here's to another 20 years, and then another.
Here's to another milles bornes.
