*Card and Board games. We loved to play these while we were dating, and still love them just as much. We are just as competitive with each other as we were 14 years ago.
*Boating and wake boarding
*Eating. (This is probably Bryan's personal favorite, I'm just along for the ride, but I do like to find a really good place!)
*Road Trips. You can't beat bonding time on the open road. The longer the better!
Some things I've learned:
*Patience is learned by having children. Through our kids, I am challenged each day to be more patient and Christlike.
* There is a right way to load the dishwasher. I was totally unaware it mattered, and thanks to Bryan I have been forced to see the light.
* People CAN change. Bryan doesn't leave the cupboard doors and dresser drawers open anymore. He is super about closing them now.
*Boys are smelly. They just are. So do the laundry often so your room doesn't smell like a locker room.
* How use the grill. Thanks to B, I can grill chicken like a dude. (He is still better than me though)
* Dad is still cooler mom. It doesn't matter what I do, they are always more excited than life itself when Daddy walks through the door after work. I am okay with this though. He really is cool.
* Sparky the Sundevil still sucks. But I can't tell my kids. It's my little secret.
* T-VO has been the greatest invention for our marriage. PAUSING live TV- Priceless. Now we can have conversation's over dinner and not worry about missing the game. Thank you whoever invented it.
*You can't go to bed angry when you pray together. It is impossible.
*How to follow the budget. I'm doing better...but sometimes it is a general guideline rather than a rule.
* How to put my husband first, and be less selfish. I think this is going to take my entire life. :)
* Parenting. Holy cow. There is big one. This is also going to be a life long process. Hopefully I don't screw them up in the process. At least there is an instruction manual. ;)
Happy Anniversary to us!
