This post has been a week in coming...

Not because I didn't want to write it, but I wanted to do it right. So the dilemma has been write or right...so far right has won, but no longer...right or not it is write's time.

You see 15 years and 1 week ago marked the biggest decision in my life.

15 years and 1 week ago.... I had new make up...

15 years and 1 week ago... I started an adventure with my best friend.

And what has happened in that last 15 years?

A LOT...

Graduated from college (on the same day no less)...

Built a house...

Welcomed 5 beautiful children to the world...

And well lived.

Living includes downs as well as ups. Losing jobs, starting businesses, battling depression, losing loved ones, learning to be patient, appreciating each other's strengths, understanding each other's weaknesses.

Sometimes 15 years seems long, very very long. But other times, it's short, in fact just a beginning.

Looking back its been quite the ride...I'm just glad to have had my best friend by my side.

Love you Mike.

P.S. I have a total LOVE/HATE relationship with your weird talent of making electronic things work merely by walking in the room even though I have done the same EXACT thing numerous times before you arrived. ARRRGGHHHH.

No...really...Love you Mike. :) To Eternity and beyond!

Jamie has that same gift! Baaaaaahhhhhh!!!! I hate that gift!

Congratulations on all your wonderfulness! Though I must say, in that first picture you look way too young to be getting married. I probably do too in mine. :)

Congrats on all the years that have been and all the years yet to be! It was fun to see your wedding photo. Too cute.

Congrats! I am such a loser cousin - I totally forgot it was your anniversary - and your 15th, no less. Here I just thought you were slacking at blogging :) Just kidding - but I did miss your posts. Glad you guys could get away and spend some good time together. Here's to many more years to come!

Has it been 15 years? Wow. It all seems like just yesterday. I guess it seems like it is fast when you are with your best friend. I guess now I have to blog about this, huh?

Love you too, Kathryn. Our few days away were wonderful. Just like the last 15 years.
