We were married 19 years ago on May 16, 1992.
It's so funny to look back over the past 19+ years and see how life has changed. My 11 year old son told me it would be easier to be an adult because as a kid he feels he is pulled in so many directions. What can I say to that except to say see me in 20 years and let me know how you feel.
We have 4 kids, one was premature with some issues, I also had one miscarriage, the death of close family members including my mom of blessed memory from cancer, and his grandmother who we helped to take care of for 6 years, 3+ years of unemployment, friends have come and gone, turned ourselves into a traditional Jewish family, and just had a car accident together where both cars were involved and my husband was forced to hit my car with his car.
After the accident I looked at my husbands car and saw it mangled, I realized I didn't know how he was and for a split second was overwhelmed with possibilities going through my mind. When I saw him and hugged him I just cried and cried because I was so happy he was ok and it hit me just how much I would not want to live without him.
When asked what makes a good marriage my response is to put the other person first. If both people do that then its a match made in heaven. This is something my husband has always done, and I don't know how I got so lucky (figure of speech, since I don't believe in luck). Hashem has truly blessed us! I always said my husband is my soul mate, as they say in the movie Ice Age, "She completes you." So I say my hubby completes me.
We always look back and say if we knew then what we know now, but one thing is certain I would have my husband and kids all over again!

- Tamar Ruth
- Who I started out as is not who I have become! I grew up in a small town, very small...and all I wanted to do was move to the city. Now as an adult that small town has grown and is overcrowded. I want what I had as a kid...small town living. We don't appreciate what we have until it is gone. I water my plants with my rain barrel water,grow veggies in the front yard and want chickens and goats in the worst way. I married my high school sweetheart and after 18 years of marriage converted to Judaism. Did I mention I have 4 kids and I homeschool? My oldest son just graduated! The purpose of this blog is to share my experiences--homeschooling, being Jewish and loving it in a not so Jewish town, gardening, animals, and alternative medicines. So, if any of these things interest you---come along for the ride!
