Our 16th Wedding Anniversary!

On November 21, 1992 we said, "I do". Then we blinked and 16 years went by. On our wedding video people predicted what we would be doing in 10 years. The general consensus - we would be living in a log home in the woods with lots of children and dogs. Well, we don't have any dogs (only cats) and I'm not sure 3 is considered a lot of children (even though they can sometimes make the noise of lots of children). Our house is homey but not made of logs or in the woods (there are woods behind our backyard).




No huge wedding cake to celebrate our anniversary, but Anna Gracen and I did make cupcakes with homemade buttercream icing.




16 things I love about Tom:

He is...

1. a man after God's heart
2. the spiritual leader of our household
3. my best friend
4. a great father
5. a wonderful provider
6. a kid at heart

His...

7. laugh
8. quick wit
9. smile
10. intelligence
11. work ethic
12. problem solving skills
13. grilling skills
14. hugs
15. kisses
16. I love the way he looks at me, encourages me and helps me to be a better Christian, mother, wife and person.



Happy Anniversary, Pete!!! (my pet name for Tom - "Sweet Pete").
