16 years

He's my favorite guy and I love that we've had 16 years together. Some people feel they do best gaining experience and being on their own for a while before they get married. But for us, we did best growing together. I would definitely not be where I am today without his love, support, and example. I love us and the life we have created! ❤

I also love that we celebrated with good food. :) 

Horse back riding with grandma

We love grandma's horses! Any chance to get to ride is a good day. Each kid had the biggest smile and wanted to go around the stables 'just one more time'. The older kids especially loved that they got to go around by themselves!

I love seeing the kids experience something that was such a happy part of my childhood. We're so grateful for grandma!!
