Did I ever tell you how I met my husband? It is quite the story......I was 15 1/2 and working at the local Burger King's drive thru. (I lied about my age to get the job.....and to my surprise didn't ask for a birth certificate for several months....)One night, a group of teenage guys comes pulling up to my window and this particularly skinny, tall blond haired boy asked if he could have my number. What the heck did I know? I was 15 and had never been asked for my phone number before. So what did I do? Gave him my number. A few days later he called. We chatted a bit only to discover he was 19 and had just graduated high school. Wellllllll I couldn't tell my parents that! So I lied (again) and told them he was just 18 and a senior in school. I don't think they actually found out his real age until we got married! We dated all through (my) high school.....then college. Right after graduation.....actually 2 weeks later we got married! We've been together ever since. Our marriage has had its share of ups and downs.....but honestly, I wouldn't change a thing. We respect each other and act as a unit....a team. He cracks me up....still! And believe me, having a sense of humor is worth more than gold! It's how we get through the day! I truly love this man......Happy 16th Anniversary!!!
So our anniversary is today......are we doing something romantic you ask? Nope....actually I have a retirement party to go to tonight. And this weekend? Well.......we are taking the kiddos to an indoor water park. Yep......we are allllll about the romance! LOL!
Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!
What a beautiful layout Michele,l love the papers and colours.

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Thanks for sharing your "love story":) I thought it was funny that you mentioned the importance of a sense of humor. I have two daughters and have been married for 24 years. I always tell my girls that one of the most important qualities to find in a man is a great sense of humor. My husband makes me laugh every day:)
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Michele!! Love the layout!

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the story Michelle :)
ReplyDeleteProves fate was in store there.
Hope you had a fantastic Anniversary!
Again, you have captured in your letter how my husband and I feel about each other. We are just about to celebrate our 11th anniversary...even though we have been together for 16 years. I often wonder if we would have chosen this route had we known what was in store for us...and unequivocally, we both would. We are best friends and we were chosen to be Maddy's (and Jack's and Delaney's) parents for a reason. Oftentimes, we forget to focus on each other because we are busy being parents to our children...especially Maddy. Underneath it all, though, we have a solid foundation...as do you! Congratulations! We hear it time and again, that parents of special needs children often do not remain together. I'm glad you made it, as well as us!
