21 Years

This morning, Craig cancelled his entire work schedule and went to the temple with me.  Hooray!  It rarely happens anymore that our schedules coincide for us to both be at the temple at the same time and in the same city.   And it happened to be a beautiful day, too!  You'd never know that it's February around here.  

After the temple, we went to my very favorite restaurant for lunch...because it's BIRTHDAY coupon week!  Also hooray!  

Our date ended promptly after lunch, and life started right back up again.  Carpooling, conference calls, homework, lessons, the 6th grade Bake Sale, and DMCO took up the rest of the night.  But how nice to be able to sneak in a mid-week celebration of 21 whole years together!  

1994 seems like forever ago...no kids, barely any responsibilities, a brand new life waiting to unfold...sometimes I can't even imagine anymore how that actually felt.  But I don't think I would go back.  Too many great things have happened in the last 21 years.  I am grateful every day for the things we've learned and continue to learn, for this amazing family we've made together, and for the life that we have.
