Seven Years Ago Today . . .

Seven years ago today, my wife and I started our married lives by hauling MD's ass back to the hotel. (Upon arriving at the hotel, MD had to call his wife and find out their room number.) Thus began the long, strange trip during which we've added a couple of kids and a cat (We already had one cat). We've survived sickness, poverty, a tornado, and an ice storm with only the occasional trip to the emergency room.

Through it all, we've grown. We grown closer to each other. We've grown spiritually. And I think we've actually gotten a little better at this marriage business.

In a few weeks, we're making a bold move. It's one that we think is best for us and for the kids. It may be tough, but we'll make it work in spite of ourselves. (This CD is good for a marriage.)

Happy Anniversary, Shelly!

I AM the luckiest person I know. All I ever wanted was a little happiness, but I got the whole barrel. Luckily, the only storms we have had to weather so far have actually been weather-related. And, who would have thought such beautiful children could come from such a crazy pair? Our whole world is crazy, and I'm looking forward to the rest of our family being able to participate in our adventures. I love being married to you! Everyone, have a big drink for us tonight - that's how we got this carnival started! Thanks, Roger, you're the best!

Love,

Shelly :)!

P. S. It would not have been the Roger / Shelly wedding without having to take food out of the car to make room for Myron or anyone else on our wedding night! We wouldn't be us without all of you.
