16 years ago.....

Today is our 16th anniversary. My husband and I will drive down to Prescott after work, stay in a lovely old B & B, and have dinner in the same restaurant that we ate in on the eve of our wedding. Tomorrow we will spend the day scouring thrift and antique shops for the perfect present to gift to each other.

Married at such a young age, it hasn't always been easy for us (is it for anyone?) He puts up with clay ground into sofa cushions, and a super girly cottage bed room, complete with rose festooned Shabby Chic bed linens. I put up with a policeman's schedule (and stress), and him banging on his drumset for what seems like hours (to relieve aforementioned stress.) Not to mention his ever expanding catalog of The Who songs that must be played on every. single. long. roadtrip (he makes fun of me listening to Jeff Buckley nonstop). We agree to disagree on many things, we have fights about all the usual stuff.

But beyond all of this we are each other's soft place to land.

And he's so stinkin cute in that Uniform.....
