Today we are celebrating our sixteen anniversary. Imagine that there is a photo of us on our wedding day above. It just wasn't possible to include that in our current state of limbo. In some ways it seems hardly possible that it has already been sixteen years, in other ways, it feels like we have always been together. So what are we doing to celebrate? Signing house loan papers, I'm going to enrichment night, and hopefully we are getting our stake temple recommend interviews. We did go out to eat at Tucano's with my parents on Saturday. And this Friday we are going on a trip to Arizona for 4 days. This will be our first time since Jumble was born fourteen years ago to have even one night alone without at least one of our children with us. It's going to be so romantic packing, loading, and cleaning our brains off! And to add to that--there's the 10-hour drive in a sleek moving van back to Utah! :) The good news is, anything is romantic when we can do it together. I can honestly say that the last sixteen years have exceeded my high expectations of marriage. I am happier than I could have imagined and even more in love with my husband than I was then. I feel blessed that I got lucky and married a man who is even more wonderful than I realized then. The last sixteen years have not been easy, but that's just because life isn't easy. I am extremely grateful to have someone to share all the easy and hard times with that makes me blissfully happy. My husband is one of my choicest blessings that I do not take for granted.
