what can i say about this guy i love? he is my best friend. i still involuntarily smile when i see that it's him on the caller id. i look forward to when he gets home from work (and no, it's not just because i have help with the kids!). even though we're so different in so many ways, we love to spend time together. he is my rock... i know without a doubt that he will always be there to take care of me and our family. even though we are notorious bickerers, we never go to bed mad at each other, and he's always the first to apologize.he's incredibly patient with all of my idiosyncrasies, and loves my family regardless of theirs! we've grown up together and i admire the man he's become — a great husband and a wonderful father. in the 16 years we've been together (do the math...that's 1992!) we've been through a lot: 2 (and a half!) college degrees, a move across the country (yes, he came here for me!), 2 trips to europe, 7 years working together (if you can survive that...), the birth of our 3 beautiful kids, and all that good and bad stuff in between that makes up our lives. i am thankful for all of it, and most of all, for him. happy 13th anniversary!
here's us in the early days! i had an awesome photo of us on the senior float (we weren't dating yet), but couldn't find our senior yearbook!
all grubby after a day of horseback riding at squints ranch. yes, that's my parents' orange vw bus in the background...it was almost my first car! were my eyebrows really that thick?

april,
thanks for checking it out! bob and i technically started dating a couple months after graduation...it was an unexpected turn of events, that's for sure!
Ahhhhhhh, you guys are so freakin cute!! Didn't the early 90s rock? I am so happy that you guys are so happy. Being married to your best friend is truly a treasure beyond words. Love you guys! Happy Anniversary!!!

Happy Anniversary!!!! Wow! It was soooo fun looking at your past photos. You guys really are a wonderful couple. Happy days!
Olivia that was just beautiful. We may not have the nicest house or the nicest clothes, but we have good men and we are happy. Love the pics.
Ok so about the shoulder pads, I remember the first time I found one of those in my mom's closet. I couldn't figure out what it was. I though she must have been stuffing her bra. Ya, that for sure needed to go out of style.
