Another Anniversary Celebration

In celebrating the anniversary of my husband and I getting married 14 years ago, I forgot to acknowledge another anniversary that I deserve to celebrate. 3 years ago, on December 29, 2006, I officially became a non-smoker. Was it easy? No. Is it always easy? No. Am I happy? Yes. Did I gain weight? Yes. 20 lbs. And I would love to be rid of it. But I LOVE being a non-smoker. I don't have to feel guilty for smoking in front of my kids. I don't have to feel gross because I smell (at least not because of smoking :) Anyway-I wanted to celebrate this victory. I am proud of myself for sticking with it. Happy New Year!

14 years ago today....

14 years ago today, at about this time of the morning, we did this....

And my new husband exclaimed, "It's getting tighter...!" as the ring of love encircled his finger and threatened to cut off circulation.

Obey was NOT in the vows....Of this I am certain. For better, for worse-yea, we've seen those. For richer for poorer....yea-we've seen a lot of that too, mostly the poorer...

I love you-for better or worse, and all the stuff in between.

Wow! 14 years. I hope to make it to 50, like Grandma and Grandpa. Happy Anniversary, honey. {And you better sing the Happy Anniversary song to me every year....}
