12 Years and counting

Today is our twelfth anniversary! Wow, a whole dozen! It's funny because I can remember when we were newlyweds and we attended an elder's quorum activity where the longest married couple there had been married 11 years, and that seemed like SO LONG! We're not newlyweds anymore, are we?! So let's see...

  • 12 years of marriage
  • 11 years of parenthood
  • 10 (and a half) years of schooling married - glad that's done and behind us!
  • 9 speeding tickets (ha ha, just kidding!)
  • 8 bishops
  • 7 addresses we have lived at (not counting 4 summer internships)
  • 6 states we have lived in (Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas for summers, Arizona, Indiana, Iowa)
  • 5 cars we've owned (Infiniti, Mazda, Jetta, Elantra, and our new to us Toyota Sienna)
  • 4 homes we have owned (condo, duplex, Mesa house, Iowa house)
  • 3 children
  • 2 real jobs since graduation (Purdue and ISU)
  • 1 Loving, devoted, and wonderful marriage!
