Wow 19 years!!

Karrie and I just had our 19th anniversary on the 24th. I am not sure how 19 years could go by so fast. Karrie was 19 yrs old when we started dating. Since I love to travel with Karrie and believe me I don't know anyone that likes to travel more than Karrie, I thought I would post 19 pictures of places we have loved to travel to together. In no particular order.

Riley's A-Z Book

About 2 weeks ago we went to Riley's S.E.P. At her S.E.P we were given a book that Riley had made. It was her A-Z book of things she was grateful for. On every page she drew a picture and wrote what she was thankful for. I thought this should provide some good insight into Riley. So we got home and I took her book and set down to read it. I am thinking that she probably put me in the D's or the T's makes sense right? So I open the book and start thumbing through it. I get to C and she has Cat with a cute picture. So I am thinking D is next, I turn the page and there are several things under D. There is Dog makes sense, Doll OK, and dress, huh!! Where is Dad?? Well I must be under the T's. So I keep turning. I get to M's and there is Mom how cute. Then P's there is Payton how sweet. So I get to the T's and what does she have???? Just one word "Turkeys" Ouch! So I did not make it into the book, so I thought I would share some of the things that did. So here we go. a can, Elephants, Lions, Kangaroos, Jam, Ice cubes, Horses, a Goat, Monkeys, Nuts, Popcorn, Raccoons, Snakes, Utah Utes, Viewnont, Whales, X-Rays, a Yak, and the Zoo. I heard that I almost beat out the Yak, maybe next year. She is such a funny girl who loves to tease me. I love that about her.
