14 YEARS!

14 years ago today I said I DO.

I was a young girl, in love with a crazy red-headed boy who made me laugh.

It has not been easy, but it has been great.

It has flown by, being married 14 years somehow seems to make me feel like we really are grown ups because we weren't that young when we married.

I would not trade any of the laughs, tears, bruises, poison ivy, sheetrock dust or general calamity that seems to be wherever we are.

It has not been as expected, it has been better.

The adventures we have had, just to name a few;
                                          Tarleton State and The Great Divide
                                          Getting "buzzed" driving to Bovina.
                                          Papaw putting you in the trunk, not so innocently.
                                          Our first little home in Rio Vista
                                          Crested Butte, CO - the skiing and that wine bar!
                                          Adventures in Elgin and Austin
                                          The emergency room trip in lieu of a traditional bachelor party
                                          A surprise trip to Atlanta for my birthday.
                                          Posionous "steaks" at Big Bend National Park
                                          Two black eyes
                                          Fajitas on the chiminea on our new back porch
                                          Our first marathons and triathlons, after you said what, I am not doing THAT!
                                          Watching our first little colt take his first steps (free horse, hah!)
                                          You, me and the La Leche League girl all piled up in our bed with our newborn.
                                          Shoulder, hernia, elbow, eyes....oh the surgeries!
                                          Me "trapping" you, 9 years in.
                                          Skunk killing
                                          Tank moss fights
                                          42...lots of 42...until we had babies.
                                          South Fork, CO - the skiing and butterscotch schnapps!
                                          Luther, our first calf
                                          Remodeling...and more remodeling
                                          Joe T. Garcia's
                                          Fenway Park
                                          Getting inked
                                          Discovering hard cider in New England
                                          Charlie Dog
                                          The seemingly indestructible Toyota trucks
                                          Shooting up a circus sign, my first time shooting with you.
                                          Pond-seaweed wig
                                         
                                          
                                          
                                          
Today I am a 30-something year old girl, still very much in love with a crazy red-headed boy, who is helping me parent two more little souls that bring a smile to my face EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Happy 14th baby!!

Us....ready to celebrate!
