Twenty-one years!

Today is our 21st engagement anniversary! Who would have thought that now: with five kids; two zebra finches; a dozen chickens; no four legged pets; two Master's degrees; up-to-date teaching certificates; after pounds of consumed chocolate (including white); doing Jr. High youth ministry, College & Career, AWANA; one diesel truck; one diesel tractor; and one big diesel engine in the boat; hours of crafts; hours of knitting; technology starting out with an Apple IIc; then a Macintosh SE; to now where we don't have any Mac's (unless you count the Shuffle, Nano, and iPod) and the PC's almost out number the humans; considering that we have never bought a TV (the 13" color TV that was given to us years ago still works though we did recently upgrade to a 32" flat screen - but that still doesn't count since we don't have cable and probably wouldn't sign-up anyway); one player piano; one Yamaha keyboard; zillions of books; yearly watching A&E's Pride and Prejudice...all this and we are still madly in love with each other!
