13 years ago I married this 21 year old goofy guy. I remeber asking my mom not that long ago why didn't anybody try to stop us. Her comment was you were an adult. My comment to that was yes but you didn't have to write the checks. I still to this day think we were way too young and I am encouraging my children to wait until they are older and more mature to get married. Lee thinks differently as he does on so many things.
So what has 13 years brought us.....
1) We have lived in two different houses (3 if you count the few months we lived with my parents while we were building this one)
2) Seven pregnancies and three (almost four) amazing kids
3) Four college degrees
4) We have lost one parent and will lose another in the next few months
5) Lots of tears
6) Way more laughter
7) Three totalled out cars
8) Two motorcycles
9) Lots of Family Vacations
10) Countless Political disagreements
Life has been good to us. We have some how managed to keep our marriage together. I think that is quite the accomplishment these days. I really have to give credit to Lee. Our first year of marriage was tough and I would have probably left then but he made it clear that he was in it for the long haul and that divorce wasn't an option. Glad he did!!!!
The crazy thing is at the end of 13 years I am more in love then I was 15 years ago when I met that silly 20 year old who managed to offend me in the first 30 seconds of meeting me.

Lee is my bestest friend. I love how we can have our own interests and still have interests together.
Life is good and it has been a crazy ride and I am so grateful for it all.
