16 Random things for 16 Random years...

{For Mike} Do you remember...

The first time we went grocery shopping together after we got married? I asked 1 or 2 GALLONS of milk you about died and thought 1/2 gallon would be MORE than sufficient. I got 1 gallon and had to go back to the store in 2 days.

The red roses you gave me on our first anniversary? I'm sure you remember my peanut butter & jelly cracker breath.

How much I loved watching you give Emily a bath...and how nice it was when we figured out she hated the lotion afterwards.

Working everyday on the house thinking we would never make it? But, luckily, when I was done you were not and vice versa. Glad things work that way.

The {very} hard times...but how we stuck together and were stronger for it?

The trip to Victoria? I want to go again.

How weird it was to finally get to sit with your family in sacrament meeting? Kids are wild...but then again, you know about satellite feeds and little hands.

Wondering what we were going to do just a few days before Christmas when Iomega gave you your 'gift'? And the next three years of very lean times.

Working hard together to start a business though we were somewhat clueless about kitchen equipment.

Your best birthday present ever?

The feeling of having a steady paycheck once more?

The fun we have putting up the Christmas decorations each year and not being able to remember that 'one' year with the grass seed.

That crazy lady that yelled at me for having baby #5? I loved your response.

The completeness we felt when all our family was here.

That insane bike ride we took in the mountains? We should do that again.

The many times you have comforted my tears and celebrated my (our) successes.

Thanks for 16 great years...you are my best friend and my rock, and I love you.
