16 Years Baby!

Our Anniversary this year, like it has in the past, fell on the night of Dave's Office Christmas Party. We had a wonderful evening filled with food, laughter and dancing. Coffman Engineers Christmas parties are always a blast! Dave, being the General Manager, was Emcee. He did a fabulous job, he had all of us laughing so hard that our cheeks hurt! Nerds DO know how to have fun!

The 'long arm' shot...


Happy 16th Anniversary Babe!

I could spend days, uploading photos of the girls over the years. They have truly been a blessing to my life. I know ALL moms say that about their babies, but I really feel this way. They were a total surprise to Dave and I. There was a time when I was overwhelmed with the thought of having 3 kids under the age of 2 and not knowing how I would be able to do what is best and what is right for them. The LORD has shown Himself ALL SUFFICIENT. His master plan has and will continue to be BEAUTIFUL. So, here's to my gals...the smartest and most beautiful teenage girls I know...(((wink)))...You are my greatest accomplishment and my greatest reward.

Top 10 of 1993

My Dad at my wedding. Some of our "friends" stealing Dave away for a Bachelor Party during our Rehearsal Dinner. It is noteworthy to mention that after this night some of his friends came back and apologized! And then when they all got married, they asked everyone to not do to them what they did to Dave. That story is for another blog!
Fall 1993, Girls Sleepover at Nancy's house.
Laura, Tina, & my Mom
Speak No Evil, See No Evil, Hear No Evil
My $425 clearance Wedding Dress. I loved it! Perfect size 8, no altering needed at all. (Sure wish I could still fit into THAT dress!)
My Father-in-Love Larry, Dave, & my Dad Mitch

Our room at the Silver Cloud after our wedding night. I think there was birdseed behind the headboard! I posted this picture because Dave and I took it to freak my Dad out. We made it look all messy on purpose. :0)

Our first KISS as man and wife.
