Happy 12th Anniversary!

So, this is us way back in 1997! Isn't it funny how young we look? Although, we were only 20 and 21 at the time, so I guess we were pretty young.

Happy Anniversary, Colby! I have treasured every moment of the past twelve years with you. I love you, I adore you, and I am still trying to figure out how I got so lucky.

I remember the day we were married; it was a beautiful, clear, sunny, and flippin' COLD day! I remember you carrying me across Main Street (this is back when it actually was a street), and I thought I was going to faint from embarrassment, you know how much I just love being the center of attention! I remember going to the reception, and seeing the line that just kept going and going and going, and thinking, "Do we even know all of these people?" I remember finally getting ready to leave the reception hall at about 10:30 at night, and we were starving! All we'd had to eat that day was a small brunch after our wedding, and one bite of wedding cake! Now, back in 1997 not every single fast-food place was open 24 hours, so we picked up something to eat at Taco Bell, because it was just about the only place still open that time of night. It still makes me laugh to think about!

You are the most wonderful and caring and supportive husband and best friend any girl could ask for, and I am so looking forward to the next 12 years with you!!!!

Just thought I'd list a few random things I have learned about Colby in the past 12 years:

1. He likes his drinks so cold they could literally shatter your teeth on impact.

2. He hates sour cream, unless it has morphed into an onion-flavor chip dip.

3. He LOVES the Boston Red Sox, almost as much as he loves me. :)

4. He plays songs that he doesn't even like very much on Guitar Hero, just because he knows I like them, and tries to impress me by playing them.

5. Any movie with baseball in it, however small a part the baseball may actually be, is definitely a must-see.

6. He makes the best friggin' tacos I have ever eaten!

7. He loves the TV series "The Office", "Seinfeld", "King of Queens", and "Everybody Loves Raymond."

8. He squeezes the toothpaste from the bottom....I don't.

9. He is a wonderful dancer.

10. He actually folds socks....I still think that's so funny!

11. He doesn't really watch or like NFL football (he prefers College ball), but if he had to pick a favorite NFL team, it would be the New Orleans Saints.

12. If pumpkin-carving was an Olympic sport, he would take the Gold Medal.

13. He is a gifted singer and pianist, no matter how much he may claim otherwise.

14. He is an adorable father to our 3 little kids.

15. He likes Double-Stuf Oreos better than the original.

16. Cocoa Pebbles would be his favorite cold cereal.

17. His dad is his hero.

18. He is not afraid of being "in front of people," or being in the spotlight.

19. He gives the best and most comforting hugs.

20. He is the most patient and kind person I have ever met (obviously, I mean, he is still married to me, after all!).

So, Happy Anniversary Honey!
