Happy Annivesary...

Paul & I met 16 years ago today, both of us sharing a ride with a mutual friend from West Point down to Philly for the Army Navy game (Go Army...they won by 1 point...25-24...it was an amazing & exciting game & VERY cold...the temp. was pretty darn cold & then the wind...ahh...it was just swirling around in the stadium making it feel even colder!!! ) & the rest as they say is history! And what a history is has been! We've lived in 5 different states & one foreign country, 9 total moves, 4 incredible munchkins!, we are down one cat & several gold fish :-(, but we still have a dog & a beta :-), and we have just made too many incredible memories along the way to count!!!! I love you so much Paul! I am so glad we met 16 years ago!!! Thank you for choosing me to share your life journey with, for being my best friend, & for making me the happiest woman in the world! Thank you for 4 beautiful, healthy, wonderful children, for providing so much for us, for being our hero, and for being our ROCK! I wish we were together but, I am very proud of you for what you are doing! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Sorry for the poor quality of these pictures but, I do not have a scanner & this is what it looks like when you take a picture of an old picture :-).

So here we are 5 months after we met at Paul's graduation from West Point.

Here we are touring Heidelberg Castle...

We are celebrating Thanksgiving dinner with a bunch of friends just before Paul deployed for the year to Bosnia...

Back in the states, stationed in Ft. Leonard Wood, attending a friend's wedding and me a few months pregnant with Jakob...
And here we are just before Paul deployed...
And here what 16 years will do to you...one big, HAPPY family!!!
