Kyle and I Are Having. . .

A FOURTEENTH Wedding Anniversary Today. . .

Not much has changed. . .

FOUR is kinda a crazy number to us.

We've been married "FOUR"teen years.
(obvious)

We've always referred to our FOURTH anniversary as our "lucky" anniversary.
We had just moved to California. We were living with Kyle's parents.
We decided to go to Tahoe for our anniversary.
We had no money so we camped instead of paying for a hotel room.
We went into the city the first night we were there and had a "buy one get one" dinner coupon for a restaurant inside one of the casinos. Since we didn't want to drive back to the campsite in the dark we decided to eat an early dinner.
We got to the restaurant to find that it didn't open for another hour.
We had an hour to kill in a casino.
We gave each other five dollars and for the first time in my life I pulled a slot machine.
Kyle burned through his five dollars pretty quick, but I was more patient (I had no idea what I was doing. . .) I won a few here, only to lose them back, but on my last quarter I won $95 dollars! You would have thought I just hit the million dollar jackpot, but to me at that time $95 was the jackpot!
We ate dinner and then headed back to our tent. I've never pulled a slot machine since.

We have owned FOUR cars since we've been married. . .

We've moved FOUR times. . .

We've lived in this house for FOUR years. . .

All of our kids are FOUR years apart. . . .

Kyle went to FOUR years of college and then FOUR years of Law School . . .

We've been to Disneyland FOUR times since we've been married . . .
(ok now I'm reaching a little)

Our phone number has the number FOUR in it . . .
(ok now I'm totally reaching)

In all seriousness, I can't believe it's been FOURteen Years!

FOURteen Years and
FOUR kids later. . .

I wouldn't change a thing!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KYLE!
