12 Year Anniversary!

Celebrating LOVE! :-) We dropped the kids off at Mom's and caught a movie, just the two of us, and ate at the Klondike Restaurant near the river in St Helens.

We took lots of pictures of each other - sitting on the same side of the booth as brought up in the movie, Date Night. It was probably the most relaxed, fun anniversary we've ever had. We've survived a lot - our first year in the Maaco, the years before the Maaco, the years of wondering what would be better than contracting, four new little treasures, and the first years of being married.

We are happy to always enjoy each other, looking forward to chatting every day and dropping in on each other w/ visits or texts or phone calls. We are happy to work together, happy with our new business. We are happiest with our kids and hanging out altogether. We are happy to have worked out so many minor irritations, happy to have decided to love each other despite our obvious, continuous faults (which will persist whether we want 'em to or not.)

I like the pictures we took of ourselves at the restaurant on our separate cell phones. After 12 years, we are happy to have fun together and laugh at ourselves. That's a lot!
