Can we really have gotten engaged that long ago? It hardly seems possible and it always amazes me how quickly the time passes. Our oldest will be getting a learner's permit in just a few months! How can this be??? I honestly don't feel much differently than I did when we got engaged. Sure, I'm a little older and (hopefully) wiser, but still! Where in the world does the time go?
I thought it might be fun to list some of the things we've experienced in the last 16 years. In that length of time, we have:
- been pregnant a lot (5 living children, one stillborn and 3 miscarriages)
- laughed, loved, cried together far more often than I thought possible (much of which is not completely unrelated to being pregnant a lot, haha)
- completed 3 degrees (his, but mine by proxy)
- had 4 different hair colours (me, not him: blonde, black, red, brown)
- lost lots of hair (him, not me thankfully)
- lived in 4 cities
- lived in 7 houses (including the 5 months at my parents' while job hunting after grad school)
- had 2 cats
- been through 6 vehicles and 2 car accidents
- lived in Texas
- survived two cross-border moves (to and from TX) - barely...oh the stress!!!
- gone to Disneyland (with kids)
- gone to Mexico (without kids)
- bought 2 sets of wedding rings
Besos!

I totally believe in degrees by proxy. I am sportin the equivalent of a PHD over here.
The rings are beautiful, the list, wonderful. Happy Anniversary!
