Celebrating 16 years of marriage!

This last week we celebrated 16 years of marriage!   Forgetting that it was our anniversary Jason had threatened to spend the day cleaning out the garage!  Ha ha!

We spent the day together…and with the fruit of our marriage–our five kids of course!  Jason came home early from work with roses for me, and then took us to a quick lunch.  Then we all went to see Despicable Me 2 together.  We timed it perfectly so that Bobby slept through most of it, and we enjoyed the show!

For supper we went to the Olive Garden.  We beat the crowd and were seated right away, but we must  not have ordered in time, because we waited a very long time for our food.  But we waited so long they gave us one of our meals free.  I suppose if we must wait, you can’t beat free!

We came home, put the kids to bed, and watched a movie and ate dessert just the two of us.  It was a really fun day!  Jason has been so stressed out lately.  I didn’t know what the day was going to look like, but it was so sweet of him to make the effort to make the day special, and it was!

I love waking up next to him every morning!  These sixteen years have been full of ups and downs, and God has grown us through them.  I’m so glad for the laughter through it all.  What a gift!  Here’s to sixteen more years and beyond!
