Holy Cow 19 years!


There is no news on the adoption front but huge news otherwise. Shane and I have been married for 19 years today! What a blessing to have a husband so patient, kind, loving and supportive. I can't believe it has been 19 years. I am amazed to say that in one more year I will have been married longer than I was not (wrap your brain around that). So much has happened to us over the past 19 years I wanted to make a little list of some of the wonderful memories we have shared. Marriage truly is like a roller coaster ride and I would not want to be on it with any one else. I love you honey!
XOXOXOOOO

*This list can't do justice to all 19 years but these are some of my fondest and most blessed events:

First home 7 feet from the railroad tracks
Surprise I brought you two kittens! I know how you love cats :( oops
Buying our first home (Carriage Crossing condo)
Camping trip, oops you forgot the tent :(
Morgan Leigh McMillan 2/5/94
Sleepless nights
Moving to Phoenix (yukky apartment living waiting for home to be built, crazy neighbors)
Second home in Phoenix (your dream right on a golf coarse, and utility road :( )
Learning that home placement is important for sleep!
Surgery for our baby girl (very scary)
Not much success in Phoenix time to move back to Utah

Lessons learned time to move home

Skiing, camping, boating, hiking, more yard work LOTS...
Somethings missing.................January 09 "Let's adopt" And the angels wept!
