Happy 16th Anniversary pt. 1

Happy Anniversary To the best Husband in the world! I can't believe its been 16 years and four kids later. Time really does fly when you're having fun :) I have to give my mom some credit here for my happy 16 years so hear goes: Mom thank you for showing me what being a good wife and mom is like. I remember in my school days always being asked what I wanted to be when I "grew up" and I remember saying " A Wife and a Mom" and that is what I am and I've never regretted one moment of that, thanks to you . Thank you for insisting that us girls as teenagers had to cook dinner for the family at least once a week, Arty was especially grateful for that when we got married. My only problem was scaling down the menu from 7 people to just 2 of us. I'm so appreciative of you teaching me how to really clean, Now I'm doing the same with my girls, Arty would like to thank you for making me iron, I still hate it but I love him enough to do his work clothes( church stuff goes to the dry cleaners:)) You are and were a great example of what a pastor's wife ought to be and I reference all the time of the things you used to do, especially your graciousness with people. And lastly I'm so thankful that you always loved Arty, even when he first came into the church. It was becouse of that That I knew He would be someone I could be married to for the rest of my life. Thank you for all your influence into my married life both Arty and I will be very grateful for you and Dad.
Love,
Me:)
