16

The kids got to go work at the scholastic book warehouse today. They were so excited and so proud to buy things with their own earnings!

 It was such a great day. June 22nd, internationally known as The Double B and Marie's anniversary.

My Boo Boo Boo and I turned 16 today. No one believes that we are mature enough for that; nevertheless, here we are. 

The Double B took the day off. We had great fun taking the kids to see The Incredibles 2 (go see it stat, soooo good) to celebrate and then going out just ourselves to buy new work shoes (thrills!) and go out to dinner (bigger thrills!). We even held hands over the table for almost a whole minute! 

I am very fond of this fine human being. The great news is, we are not perfect or even in that neighborhood -- but we love each other and like each other, and for that we are truly fortunate. 16 memorable, adventurous years. 

Thanks for it all, Double B.
