Sweet 16

For starting out as "just friends" I'd say we're doing pretty well.

Happy 16th Anniversary Dave.  You truly make this journey worthwhile.

45 Looks Good on You

Dave,

If I haven't told you lately you are a wonderful man, a sweet and fun to be around dad, a kind and caring human being, and you know more about math-science- nature trivia than any one book.  I am thankful that you are my "the one" and that I am able to celebrate yet another one of your birthdays with you.

And in true "Dave" fashion what would a birthday note be without a few choice statistics?

You are now:

540 months old

2808 weeks old

16,425 days old

394,200 hours old

23,652,000 minutes old

(forgive my math if it is a little off, Dave usually calculates these stats)

45 looks good on you, I can't wait to see how good you look at 90.

Love,

Kim

15 years and at least 5,479 kisses

 some highlights in numbers:

15- years we've been married

2 -number of sweet kids we have

T2- our first date movie (I know it is a letter + a number but I am making an exception)

22- number of years we've known one another

7- states we've visited together

5 -cars we've owned since we started dating

0- pets we've owned

4- years we dated before we married

84- our ages, combined (lame, I know, but I was running out of cool number factoids)

105- our marriage in dog years (because you love goofy statistics like this)

6- how many months we were engaged

5, 479- according to you how many times we've kissed assuming we've kissed at least once a day since we married (I believe the number is much higher thank you very much...)

1- the number of times either one of us is ever going to get married.

I love you Pilar.

yours, 

Feta

1st Date- Photo Not Included

A layout I made about my first date with Dave (almost 20 years ago)- because I didn't have a photo from that actual date (those were the days of film cameras, not a time when you could snap a quick photo on your phone of the cute boy you were with and upload it to the social network of your choice for all your friends to comment on) I used one from a date we went on a few months later.  Proof that we were young once.  Proof that we went on dates.  Proof that I used to dress up.  Proof that we were meant to be.  And a story I can remember tiny details from because it is now written down.

Film strip and Ticket stub- Tim Holtz, Threading Water punch from Fiskars, Heart by Heidi Swapp, Title stickers- vinyl Thickers by American Crafts, and the back sides of this patterned paper and this patterned paper from October Afternoon.

And a fun side note- I had a layout featured last week on the Write. Click. Scrapbook. site- that was a treat!
