five things, 16th wedding anniversary edition

photo credit to Callum

1. I think I still love it that Neel's laugh is the first contact I ever had with him. He makes me laugh every day.
2. I think that despite the fact that I need a picture of me (that makes me look stunningly beautiful and thin) for the blog and we need some family photos, I'd really like to have some more photos of just the two of us. I'm looking at you, Dafna.
3. I think it's very interesting that Neel got to pick where we're eating for our anniversary AGAIN. (See #1d.)
4. I think I feel very grateful for a marriage that can survive the times when raising our child or caring for our home or any of the other myriad of things that get in the way of really tending to it.
5. I think October 28, 1995 was one of the best days of my life, seconded only by Callum's birth (duh) and the day I first heard that laugh. I carry your heart in my heart. We'll be spending the evening at the ballpark. Chicken and waffles for dinner. Maybe there will be champagne.

When I woke up this morning I calculated. Okay, 1995...so this is the 16th. Good grief, I couldn't believe the time has gone by so fast. Happy Anniversary to my Sweetie and to her Sweetie. I've said this before but here it is again. A mother could not ask for nor even dream of a better husband for her daughter or a better son-in-law. We are so blessed.

And Mark, I was at the wedding too. So, ha. And what a great friend you have been to Lauren and Neel all these years. I'm delighted to know you (vicariously).Do you remember this line? "When you're a shark you're a shark all the way!."
