We started out on Friday, February 14, 1992 with dreams of a little house and a couple of children. Raise a family and grow old together, it was so simple.
Little by little our dreams were realized.
Everything was right until it was taken away by Katrina in 2005. Thirteen years of our life piled up in our front yard. It is amazing how quickly we learned to live with so little. This didn't break us, it made our commitment stronger.
We always knew communication was the key to a successful relationship.
We took a big chance and moved to another state and began re-claiming our ground. Our marriage deepened and our children flourished.
Now seventeen years later there's no one I would rather lose everything with but have everything with but you! Happy Anniversary and Happy Valentine's Day!
P.S. You still have great buns!
All my love,
