Twelve

It was twelve years ago tonight that I married Jamey. While I can honestly say it hasn't been ALL roses (he's not the roses sort of guy), I can say it's been a GREAT ride, and I'm looking forward to the next twelve just as much as I've enjoyed the past twelve.

Twelve things I might not have experienced/learned about/did if not for Jamey (in no particular order....)

  1. "plan the work, then work the plan"
  2. 'My Morning Jacket', 'The Hold Steady', 'Jack Johnson' etc. And I wouldn't have the joy of hearing my six-year-old singing 'Kings of Leon' and 'World Party' songs regularly.
  3. Hiking the Napoli Coast of Kauai. Dangerous but so thrilling.
  4. Guitar lessons and my own guitar
  5. Hiking with the buffalo in Yellowstone
  6. Swimming with manatees in Wekiva Springs
  7. Sweet Willa: Jamey's logical mind and endless need to know more
  8. Wildman Cam: eyes like swimming pools (Willa's words)...just like Jamey's eyes
  9. Rebuilding this house ourselves - one room at a time
  10. Sushi
  11. Biodiesel
  12. Mountain biking (morphed to road biking after 12 years!)
