And the Winner Is...

Me.

At least that's how I feel.
Today I celebrate 16 years of marriage to Big Daddy.
My dear Joel.

Joel and I on my birthday a couple weeks ago.

16 years...
Two homes...
5 Children (one in heaven, three we can hug and one due in a month)...
Three trips to Disney...
Three trips to Paris...
One to St. Martin...
Countless runs up to Door Country...
A million to Gramma and Grampa's Farm...
From plenty of money to NONE...
A thousand weeds and misunderstandings...
Hundreds of pounds of veggies and dirty laundry...
Death...
Life...
Delivering your own baby...
Times we could strangle each other...
Times we hold on to each other we are laughing so hard...
A million spins around the dance floor (I miss those days)...

I love my husband.
Happy Anniversary Babe.

Happy Anniversary...I highly recommend the institution, (sometimes it may feel like one of you belongs in one) as my husband and I will celebrate our 40th in December. We have raised five children to adulthood and have one waiting to greet us in heaven.

Here's to today and many more...

Hugs~
