Mark and Nicole mark 10 years of marriage

Celebrating 10 years on Sept 27 married to Nicole
By Mark Schadenberg
Prince (or an artist formerly called Prince) had a mega hit with ‘Party Like It’s 1999’.
That was a very important year in my life.
In January of 1999, I hammered my first sign into the ground, beginning a career in real estate. After many ups and downs, that employment change continues to go very well.
In August of 1999, I met my future wife Nicole. It was a blind date, but it began my real future – a sign and change of things to be in the future.
On Sept 27, 2003, Nicole and I were married. After many ups and downs – all marriages have them – everything continues to be very well.
Challenges and successes could be two words to describe our exact one decade of married life.
I love Nicole very much.
Miss Maeghan would arrive in 2006 and she is an absolute treasure. Her challenge this year is changing schools as she recently began Grade 2 at a different school. It’s not easy at any age to make a transition. She is also not sure that Highland Dancing is her calling, but she is learning about coordination, concentration and accomplishment by learning the steps and timing. You could say that having to tip-toe around swords is a good life lesson.
Super Spencer’s challenge is starting school (JK) this year as he is now 4 – circa 2009. Spencer loves Spiderman and played soccer this past summer, and is now a student. The life of wearing a backpack, making friends, reading and writing, and learning about scissors has arrived.  
Nicole and I are very proud of Maeghan and Spencer – our family.
Ten years has been anything but clear sailing for us, but I could not have chosen any better life partner as Nicole is more than my best friend. We have weathered many storms (including me ruining the plot of the movie The Perfect Storm which Nicole had yet to view at the time) and our love has grown.
Life can dish out a lot, including one chicken with peanut sauce recipe dish that didn’t work out well.
Anyone would honestly wish the best to anyone and everyone for only the best of health and happiness. I’ve been slowed this past six months or so by arthritis in my left hip. Yes – another challenge.
Nicole is at my side.
When looking for a house, as a Realtor I tell folks to compile a list of features and then hope to attain most of them. In finding my spouse, I have exceeded my wish list.
I love Nicole and look forward to 10 more terrific years and then 10 more great years and then the next 10 years – a lifetime of memories and togetherness.
Nicole: Thanks for the first 10, let’s make it many many more.
