Sweet 16!

Well, today is my wonderful husband - Kirk - and my 16th Anniversary. Sweet 16th! I cannot believe it has been that long. I do not feel old enough to married that long. But at the same time it seems we have been together forever.

So in honor of that I thought I would list a few of his positives - because we always focus on our own negatives.

I call him my renaissance man. I know only a few people like him. He is detail oriented and creative all at the same time. He can look at things from a very common sense way to very over the top when necessary. He is a great artist and has a great head for business. He is comfortable behind the computer, on the basketball court or on a motorcycle. Kids, especially babies, seem to flock to him. It is like they sense that he is one of "the good guys". He is truly my partner and best friend. He respects me and my point of view - and treats me as an equal. He is the hardest worker in the world. I have never worried about our family being taken care of. I feel truly blessed to be married to him.

I look back on the last 16 years (17 with dating) and cannot believe the life we have and have had. The 5 great kids we have - a beautiful home - peace - and true happiness. Our life is not perfect by any means - but life is too short to dwell on negatives or struggles - or let them keep you down.

So today - am just want to tell the world how lucky I am - how much I love my Husband - and how life is truly beautiful!
