...And they lived happily ever after...

Happy Anniversary to my sweet big brother, Rick, and his lovely bride of 14 years, Jennifer.

Met: In college. I imagine the institution has since revised its policy for male squatters visitors in female dorms.
Courtship: He sat behind her in class, dropping candy into the hood of her sweatshirt.
Famous Early Date: McDonald's. Rick invited, then realized he had $1 in his pocket. Jen treated.
He Puts Up With: Being the subject of embarrassingly lovey-dovey poetry (coming soon!).
She Puts Up With: 10 years in a home under varying degrees of construction. (Who needs a bathroom sink when you can brush your teeth in the shower?)
Where Are They Now? Three strong, beautiful, Tae Kwon Do-medal-winning children and a respectable pet rotation in a big red house with a stunning view of the valley in her Western Montana hometown, blessedly near where the buffalo roam. She's still writing and he's still home-improving.
My Anniversary Wish: May the sun shine long and warm on this family. May the snow melt by July. May the bear tracks be fresh (but not too fresh!). May this devoted pair continue make each other laugh out loud, almost 20 years after "he won her with a burrito."

XOXO, 
Blondie
