16 years....we can now start dating (except on our anniversary)!


On May 1st Bob and I celebrated our 16th anniversary. Well, it wasn't much of a celebration....but, we figured it was a typical and perfect representation of our wonderful life of marriage.....and why we are so blissfully happy. It's funny because I go to other's blogs and read about this wonderful romantic weekend, or read all these wonderful dedications to their spouse. Well....I hope you feel the same warm and fuzzy from my anniversary! A few months ago we had wonderful plans....but, then as the time got closer, we realized that the kids had booked our calendar to the MAX. And, as time got even closer.....We also discovered that we couldn't even go out that evening because of Amanda's lacrosse and Nathan's band concert. So, we happily opted for a lunch date. But, the day before.....we discoverd that everything in our freezer was melting, and our fridge was quite warm instead of cold. So, I frantically went out shopping for a fridge and the place that could deliver it the next day won the bid. The anniversary day was spent installing the fridge and attending a piano competition for Nathan......no lunch date.....then we did the lacrosse and band concert in the evening. When we finally layed down to go to sleep we were exhausted! We love our busy life and the fruits of our marriage couldn't be any better. It's just were we wanted to be in 16 years. :) Just look how dang nice that fridge is!!!

Wow, that is a nice fridge! Don't worry, Jake and I just had an anniversary interrupted by life's chaos also- and we're only to 8 years.

Love the pictures and congrads. You two are so cute together. Love the fridge too.
Jeff and I once went to a really cute bed and breakfast in Lincoln city called Green Gables. They had the best breakfast. You should sneak away before you get even more busy.

Happy Anniversary! I still remember your wedding day, and how gorgeous you looked in your gown at the Manti Temple! It is amazing how time flies! You don't need to do anything spectacular for an anniversary, just make sure that you spend some one on one time together alone. Even if that means telling each other how you feel about one another. I love the fridge! Dang I am so jealous! It is definatly awesome! :0)

Bob...are you sure Julie didn't just unplug the fridge? She is really tricky :)
Either way it doesn't matter because your new fridge is AMAZING! Love it. Happy Anniversary you love birds.
