September 24, 1993

Let's talk about what is different about me from 16 years ago today:
  1. Ornery gray hair popping up and driving me crazy.
  2. My morning is dictated by laundry catch up.
  3. I spend like 30 seconds on makeup application.
  4. 4 excitable, creative, exasperating, lively, loving kids circle me constantly.
  5. What doesn't ache on my body?
16 years ago today:
  1. I "politely" reprimanded a pushy photographer.
  2. I tried to dance in layer after layer after layer of a poofy dress.
  3. Hair spray shellacked my hair.
  4. Politically spoke to drunk relatives.
  5. Laughed, cried, smiled, loved and rejoiced.
Today, I celebrate 16 years of a fun, happy marriage with my honey. I would go on and on with a tribute to "honey", but my daughter is insisting on playing on Barbie.com. No longer a bride for sure :) Mama is on duty!!

That's such a wonderful milestone Kelly!!! Sixteen years and four awesome kids and a great husband. I'm happy for you my friend. I'll have to check this Barbie.com out. I've thought about looking into some simple computer games for Deaglan. He's very interested in the computer, especially when I'm on it:(

What a great blog and topic! I saw your comment on Flory's site and decide to check out your blog. (It is so good to meet another Jane Austen fan...)

Naqvee said...

I wish you both
much joy on your anniversary.
I hope it will be a day
of warm memories to share.
I'll be thinking of you,
and I'll say a prayer
that your day
will be filled
with the warmth of love
and that tomorrow
will bring everything
you've both dreamed of.
May the days ahead
be joyous,
without a single tear,
and may you find much to be
thankful for every year.

happy anniversary! take care

Congrats on your anniversary! What a blessing :) As far as gray hairs, only one? Since I hit 40 they've been popping out like weeds including my eyelashes :( Is there anything sacred? May you and hubby enjoy marital bliss for many decades to come!

Unknown said...

Congratulations.

After 34 years, I no longer have pesky gray hairs - they are all gray with a few pesky brown ones popping out. And I have to admit I still haven't tried to dance in a poofy dress. {*grin*}

May your next 16 be as good as the first 16.
