aw cj, a woman after my own heart! He's probably real special that you can put up with the in-laws and be so in love 18 years later. Here's to 18 more years and beyond!

CJ, one of the reasons that you have stayed together for 18 years is you can forgive him for the 'crazy quilt lady'incident. 26 years for us - and he still makes me laugh out loud.

Luckily I grew on them, they are really lovely people, and we've stuck it out for 33 years and counting.

Here I will tell you why they don't like me. They are wealthy ppl and my family was not. So they assumed I only married their son to get their money, FIL said this to DH before we ever got married and they still think this way of me. We have never gone to them for help of any kind, financially or emotionally. At one point they had tried to convince DH that I was not a good person. They have tried many tactics to get rid of me. We had a big blow up with them 2 years ago and they were mad because hubby stuck up for me. So now we hardly see them and they only live 6 miles from us. They followed us from Ca. just to cause trouble for us.

Happy Anniversary! Our 30th is next week. I'm very lucky to have the sweetest in laws in the world. If my MIL ever disapproved of anything I did, she never said so. They used to babysit all the time, and never said anything but positive things about the way I raised the kids or how the house looked (which with small kids and a quilter was not neat!!). Sorry you've had a difficult time, but good to hear your husband is on your side!
