Twenty One

I remember celebrating my 21st birthday on the Oregon Coast. Bruce and I weathered the icy roads and stormy blizzard to enjoy a few days at the Coast. We were celebrating our first month of marriage and our new life together. Bruce had just finished another semester @ BYU and we were on Christmas break. It was just the two of us exploring the coast with no cares in the world. Fast forward 21 years
we've:

graduated from college
lived in two states
2 apartments
4 homes
had four kids in two years
spent all day feeding kids and changing diapers
lived on 3 hours of sleep many nights
never had a minute to ourselves
have 4 teenagers
had 3 in braces...the 4th in Jan.
go to bed hours before the kids do
have all day to myself (very quiet)
spend many weekends waiting up for the kiddos
have 3 drivers in the family
soon we'll have 6
we'll have a son graduate from High School next year
worry about how we will pay for 4 kids in college
we'll be empty nesters @ 45 & 47
Man! has the last twenty-one years flown by.

Happy Anniversary my Love.
