16

Is the number of years that the hubby and I celebrate being married today.

16.

It's hard to believe that much time has passed already.  I was thinking about our journey and how much living we've packed into the past 16 years.  As it stands we have 4 healthy children, and 1 dog that barks too much; we survived a major career shift (hubby's) a few years back; and we've owned 3 different homes which we've spent alot of time working on.    Of course there are so many more things that I could type but ... a little mystery goes a long way ;) 
Most of all in our 16 years I love that we've become better together, stronger, the best-est of friends.  I have learned to trust the man who was once a boy all those years ago.  I love deeper because of him and somehow I feel braver just knowing him.  I am thankful that he takes his never quit attitude to heart especially when it comes to us.  I married a good man, who came from good people (thank you mom & dad). 
I love you Paul, thank you for everything and Happy 16th babe.
