15 Years!

Yesterday, Jason and I celebrated our anniversary-15 years! This was the first time in a couple of years that we've had a chance to be together for it. Last year, Jason was packing for his deployment to Africa. He left the next day. The year before that he was already deployed to Germany. But this year we were together and we really wanted to make the most of it. We thought of taking a cruise or flying to Hawaii or maybe the Caribbean. In the end, we ended up doing what I have been wanting to do all winter long. . .we cleaned, straighted and purged our garage. It was the best! What better way to reminisce than by going through all the junk and stuff we've accumulated through our 15 years together. Who wants a beach when you can have a clean garage?! Just in case you think I'm insane, I really want the cruise! We wanted to go for our 10th anniversary but ended up moving to Guam. Add children to the mix and getting away has become more complicated. But one of these years it's going to happen, just not this year.

I didn't realize I hadn't mentioned that it was our anniversary to the kids until I asked Kelsey if she would babysit so her dad and I could go out to dinner. I should have seen the twinkle in her eye. . . While Jason and I went out to eat Thai and get massages, Kelsey was rounding up the troops.

When we came home we were met by this sign on the door. Then in the kitchen we found heart shaped chocolate chip cookies,cookie dough (in bowl), milk and to top it off, an anniversary toast. They made sure to inform us that they also straightened the house and folded clothes. (Just in case we didn't notice)

Do I have the best kids or what!!!!!

This is our toast penned by Kelsey.
