Today is our 15 year Anniversary. I feel like the Shania Twain song....Looks like we made it...look how far we've come my baby! I can't believe it's been 15 years. I feel like I have blinked and my life is a whirlwind. The last five years are the ones that have really zoomed by! Life with my honey seems to get better each day!
(Stole from Katie's blog on her anniversary.)
15 things I love about my hubby!
1. He loves me...and some times that has to be really hard. I am a bit bossy! (Adrian no comments please )
2. He loves his family.
3. He's passoniate about whatever he is doing. He does it with all his heart.. now this could be four wheeling-remote control cars, ufc,FHE, working out, scouting, Whatever he is doing he does it with all he has!
4. He is Blake and Andrew's scout leader and takes them camping to do the BOY stuff!
5. He lets the girls fix him up. He loves it when they get all dressed up with make up and dolls and dance around the house.
6. He doesn't quit something when he starts..once he makes up his mind he really tries hard.
7. He is a HARD worker. He works two jobs. I love a hard worker.
8. He is not concerned with my clothes or hair...just whatever I like he's fine with!
9. He is fun to hang out with.
10. He's happy to eat where ever I choose!
11. He watches sappy love story movies with me...although I know he would rather have an action packed.
12. Some times he gives me yellow roses for the kids birthdays because he says It's because of me that they are here.
13. He would love to have 8 more kids.
14. He's always protective over me and the children. He cares where we are and what we are doing.
15. He likes to hear me sing Karoke!!! He loves it when my Dad sings with the guitar.... And lately he's been singing Karoke too! WOW big step for ole Stevie boy.
I love you Steve!

Five Years! On this anniversary we were still in college with two little boys. We lived in a small 800 Sq. Foot house that was so cold and old (but I really liked it-Steve hated it) It cost $250 a month!!! Both of our cars broke down. We had to borrow nana and Papa's car to get to work and school!

But still no one in the competition has gained any weight. I think someone said as a whole our group has lost 149 pounds total in three weeks. I am so impressed. It is so motivating for me to go to weigh ins. Pounds dropping like crazy. I am so proud of us and excited. As of last night Steve has lost 21 pounds and I have lost 10 pounds total. I would never have pushed myself this much if we weren't doing this competition. I can't believe how being with friends really makes a huge difference. Thanks guys for all your support and encouragement. Uncle Bruce hit a huge-huge step last night we were all so proud of him. Way to go Bruce!
