2 college graduations


1 set of wings

9 sets of moving trucks and boxes
3 pregnancies (you didn't really think I was putting my Michelin Man pictures in here did you?)
3 boys

9 cars
3 mortgages
5 bazillion frequent flier miles
6 countries (Well, 7 if you count Texas as another country!)


6 too many friends lost
1 boy who learned to love Cajun food
1 girl who learned to love the mountains and the American West

2,000,000 political debates

countless letters
Too many deployments


Never enough joyous homecomings!
6 aircraft
4 job interviews
2 airlines
100 or so times one of us would have liked to kill the other
infinite = the number of times I would choose you all over again.
EDITED TO ADD.... 1 romantic getaway
This is ENTIRELY insufficient.

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary !!!!
That made me tear up a little bit! Congratulations and oh, my, what a nice present!!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary my dears! I think I took some of those pictures...
ReplyDeleteI still can't get past the fact that you've had 9 cars in 13 years. We've only had 4. What am I doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteI loved this post. I'm going to steal your format sometime in the future. The photos are great! Happy Anniversary! The inn and spa look awesome!
katie - I knew that looked strange when I posted it, but the moving overseas contributed to the number of cars. And then, the adding of the third child required something bigger. And then, lastly, I think he got me a newer nicer mini-van , yes mini-van people (what evah - im so over it and love it) as his way of thanking me for sticking ith him through the Am Eagle years.
ReplyDeleteAnnie - you know you did!!! And THANKS for that. I almost included a pic of all us girls on the Sagami Otsuka train platform, but the wind was blowing our hair so much that we all look serioulst posessed!
