Mister. I. heart. you.

Fifteen years ago, I got to say I do to a lifetime of happiness with my best friend. How lucky am I? Not only can Mister read and write, he is truly a wonderful man inside and out. I still cannot believe he asked me. He. asked. me. Wow! So in honor of our fabulous, most splendid 15 years together...here is a look back. 1) bought our first home 2)welcomed the Little Man into our lives 3)learned how to love on a very special Lil' Bit 4)built a house (Still have TONS to do and finish. Anyone want to help 5)became Aunt's and Uncles to some very special nieces and nephews 6)enjoyed family and friends (Some that have moved (Boo!) and some that are still as close as ever! (Yay!) 7)learned how to be parents at dance, gymnastics, soccer, cheer, Judo, 4H, football, quizzing, wrestling and track events 8)watched our favorite Boys in Blue and Orange play in AND win games never thought possible 9)became health conscious and one of us started running in races. (Eek! I know, everyone knows it isn't me but kudos to Mister for losing close to 150 lbs. Maybe me someday...just maybe!)10)became proud owners of two black labs and one very large yellow lab, two turtles, and a crazy amount of fish! 11)moved around in our employment, changed titles, positions and locations 11)started skiing both on the water and in the snow as a family 12)enjoyed motorcycles, 4 Wheelers, boating, snowmobiling, mtn. biking, camping and now our new doom buggy 13)enjoyed trips to Mexico, Las Vegas, Washington (Love you Westfall's!), several places in Idaho, Disneyland and of course the beach 14) learned how to heart each other more each day 15)continue to dream about what is to come.

Mister. I. Heart. You. To. The. Moon. And. Beyond. Forever.

A few things I have learned lately.....

I am amazed by my little family and all they do and accomplish on a daily basis.

Getting older isn't as bad as I thought.

I can, and indeed do, love Mister more now than I did 16 years ago.

Life at this moment of time is really the only thing that matters. Not the past, nor what will happen in the future is of utmost importance. Worrying, wishing and wondering are all silly wastes of precious moments.

Summer months go by way too fast and are way too hot.

Saying goodbye to the Little Man for DU (Destination Unknown) was a very hard thing to do.

Mister is the hardest working man in the whole world and I heart him more than he will ever know.

Sometimes there is nothing you can do but say "I love you and I am here."

I want to live in a world full of people that like to laugh and think of others before speaking. Enough with judgmental, full of themselves people on this planet.

Summer School is a lot of work for a small period of time.

Having 1500 thread count sheets really does make a difference and how I do love them.

I am growing up. I really kinda like it.

Having your family live in another state is getting way to hard on me. I miss them.

We have been so very blessed in so many ways. Sometimes we forget.

The people that you find are the best to work with and love, will eventually move/leave.

I need to get to spinning more often and workout on the days when I don't.

Seasons without football are just boring.

I like winter so much better than summer. I am just not a "hot" weather type of girl.

God will always be there but you won't always have easy days.
