12 years!!!

 We have been married for  12 years today!! I can's believe how time flies! 12 years, 5 kids, 7 places we have lived in 2 states, 7 vehicles, 3 sets of washer and driers, 10 different jobs and so many great memories!!

 I was thinking about when we got married and I realized these things:
-Cell phones only made calls, The brick nokia style!! Yea baby!!!
-DVR was not prevalent or common..yes, we had to watch commercials and BE THERE when the show was on!!!
-Hair straighteners were not available to us common folk....YIKES!  How did   I survive!
-All our wedding pictures were taken in film...yes film
-The first I pod had barely been invented
-many house phones still had cords attached..our did anyway
-DVDs were still pretty new
-you had to go to Hollywood video or Blockbuster to rent a movie

For MANY reasons I have been grateful for the past 12 years!
I can't image my life with out my sweetheart and best friend!! We have come so far and learned so much, I can't wait for the next 12 years!!
