Happy Anniversary to us!

There are things that I did not know fifteen years ago that I do know now!

• I didn't know that a person might floss their teeth twice in one night (let alone once) to make sure their teeth were clean.
• I didn't know that watching your husband become a father could only increase your love and respect.
• I didn't know that one person could make you laugh and cry harder than you have ever done in your life.
• I didn't know that in order to have a well-balanced meal at dinner someone has to make it...every night (go figure!)
• I didn't know what it meant to be a grown-up.
• I didn't know that laundry doesn't put itself away. (Now the kids do it. :-))
• I didn't know that watching World Cup soccer could be so exciting. I didn't know it would be almost as exciting as watching your husband coaching your 7 year old son's team.
• I didn't know that there is nothing sweeter than seeing your husband with another girl....as long as that girl is your 9 year old daughter.
• I didn't understand how differences can be such strengths
• I didn't know how prayer works in ways that nagging never can.
• I didn't know I would never have to pick up any of my husbands dirty clothes because he always puts them away.
• I didn't know he would be such a good dad.
• I didn't realize that high expectations cause a person to achieve more than they thought they could.
• I didn't know that er....um....marital relations only get better with time.
• I didn't know that we would be teaching our kids at home.
• I didn't know that we would need two computers to avoid shoving matches in the evenings...and I'm not talking about the kids.
• I didn't know he would wipe down the sink and shower just to make it easier for me to clean.
• I didn't know that we wouldn't run out of things to talk about.
• I didn't know you would still make me laugh.
• I didn't know we would both start liking country music. (I *really* didn't know that one!)

• I didn't know what a rare treasure a happy marriage is!

I love you, Danny!
