What Does it Look like? 15 years of big and small Stuff
July 25th is our anniversary. Our 15th anniversary. Let me just say, that I’m most certainly too young to have been married for 15 years.
I mean, there’s no way we’ve had a combined total of 15 jobs.
6 vehicles
3 church homes
2 job layoffs
the birth of 5 sons
11 cell phones
5 addresses
one town
3 desktop computers, 2 laptops
Countless memories
“We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts.”
―Dietrich BonhoefferHere’s to the next 15 years.
(hopefully we’ll be less hard on electronics)

Congrats. Wish you forty-five more.
@mrswrangler - Thank you!
Ms Wrangler, I think God must think that your husband side needs more help, that’s why you have five sons.My mother was similar and just only had four sons.July 25 is magically. Two of you with five sons. Then again you always sort of have the chance to break that magic number but who knows?
May you have a wonderful day for your anniversary. Thank you for sharing those old photos with us. Congratulations and best wishes for many more happy years to come.
I loved seeing these pictures! So fun to see how you’ve changed…and stayed the same! I loved all the different numbers, too! Wow, your boys are looking old!!!
Happy Anniversary!
This is so cute! You have such a creative way of talking about things:) congrats! You’re right…. You’re def not old enough!
Wonderful story, fabulous memories! May life continue for all of you joyously and with love ♥
Congratulations – wow 5 boys and a husband and you still have a nice head of hair
Happy Anniversary. I’d forgotten we shared a close anniversary as Stephen’s and mine is the 30th.
Happy anniversary! Our 17th is around the corner and we’re definitely too young too. I LOVE the photos and the fun way you wrote this. Also–I haven’t heard a peep out of you about what you’re doing if Xanga folds. Every time I come check my blog, it’s still there. What does that mean anyway? I can’t follow the techy discussion on it and I’m too lazy to bother anyway. But I did save my archives in case.
@quiet_hearts – I’m hoping Xang makes it. I contributed to the cause. Anyway in case it doesn’t I have a WordPress AND a blogger. Here’s the WordPress:http://makingitcomplicated.wordpress.com/
