Today we celebrated my man's 33rd birthday.
His birthday also marks 15 years we've been together. . .we've seen a lot together, experienced a lot too. We married quite young, but that gave us a good early start in life. We spent our first year of marriage gathering our dreams while working hard through the start of our careers. Our 2nd year of marriage we bought out first home. The week we moved into the new house, Jon also started his Graduate Degree. Our house was in a raw state of remodeling so we worked long days, came home and worked long nights with Jon trading his hours between his graduate degree homework and working on the house together. We poured long hard hours into our new life. We were living the definition of hard work and seeing the very very very slow reward of payoff.
The years ticketed on and we started traveling the world together. We snorkeled The Baths in The British Virgin Islands, zip lined in Antigua, cave tubed in Belize. We took a Spanish tour of an ancient castle in Guatemala. . .not understanding a SINGLE word! We sailed a yacht around The Arch of Cabo San Lucas. Together we hiked the Grand Canyon...twice. And together we have watched our newborn babies catch their first breath. 15 years in and I hope we are still in the beginning of our life together.
Here's to many many many more birthday's together!

It's my sweet man's birthday eve today. . .Chloe and I spent some time this afternoon baking cupcakes in preparation for tomorrow (however they did not make it that far as we enjoyed them for desert instead...yolo). Chloe was keeping herself busy on the counter behind me when I heard her counting. . ."one, two, three, four...five, six, seven, eight, nine...ten and eleven!". FIRST time I've heard her count all the way up to 11! I was so proud of her! Highlight of our day, for sure. . .especially when she agreed to do it another 5 times for me :)
