Fifteen years.

Fifteen years since these two kids said "I do."

So thankful for you Kevin, and for the memories we've made together.

So here are some highlights from the past fifteen years.
2000
S'Baka & Wallace.  Our first "kids."
Two of the best dogs ever.

2001
Nothing like a trip to Europe with some of our best friends.
Love these guys.  We all got married the same year, and have kids that have grown up together.
Still need to work on getting a group shot of us....

We hit Ireland, Prague, Munich, Paris, & London on that trip.  Not too shabby.

2002
That year started off with a huge loss with loosing Rachel & the fire.
Thankful to have you next to me.
Our southwest trip post tax season was a great getaway.

2003
Ireland & Scotland!
(and can't believe that was the last time we were in Ireland--sheesh.)
What a crazy day this was-was so glad to make it to William Wallace monument after our first rental car erupted smoke in Scotland!

2004
This little guy came along.
Turned our world upside down & so glad he did.

2005
Our happy little guy.
Our post tax season getaway that year involved a 12 hour road trip, plus a toddler, and two dogs.

2006
We stayed busy keeping up with Kieran.
This picture is from Cades Cove in the Smokies.

2007
Keenan arrived.
And once again our world turned upside down.
In the best possible way.

2008
Our annual OBX trip that year involved a preschooler, a toddler, two dogs, a half marathon run, and a full marathon run.

2009
Flopsy arrived.
And turned our lives upside down again.

And Kieran started kindergarten.
2010
Was the year of the superheroes.

2011
For the first time in a while Easter & spring break came after tax season ended!
We took advantage of that & headed to Boston,

and New York.

2012
This was the year of our epic RV trip.
Epic

And superstorm Sandy that kept Rebecca in NC longer than planned.

 2013
That year was one for the record books.
We blinked and Keenan graduated from preschool.

 Got to meet the boys favorite--TobyMac.

 Introduced the boys to roller coasters.

 Keenan started kindergarten.

 And promptly broke his arm.

 And Rebecca & Ted got married!

 In between some of those events we also walked away from a car accident, lost our sweet Wallace, bought another car after Kevin's died, bought a house and moved, and adopted this sweet guy....Loch.

 2014
Lost my Mom.

 Had the chance to take the boys back to Chicago to try & re-create our photo from 15 years earlier.

 And spent Thanksgiving with our friends down south.
Way south--Argentina.

2015

No idea what the next fifteen years will look like.

Probably like this:

At least I hope so.
Thank you Kevin for these memories, and for this life we have together.
For our family.
No one else I would want next to me.
Happy Anniversary.
Love you.
