Three Years and Counting

Alex and I recently celebrated our third wedding anniversary. When I told Olivia we had been married for three years, she said "Really? Only three? It seems more like 5 to me." I think her perception reflects the fact that we've managed to cram 5 years of fun into only three. We've even managed to have fun here in Michigan where we can't climb, hike, go white-water rafting or canyoneering. I'd say we're doing pretty well. Just think, by the time we've been married for 15 years we'll have 25 years of fun under our belts. Here's a photo recap of the fun we've had up to now:


And here are just ten of the millions of reasons I consider myself a lucky woman to have snagged a man like Alex:


1. He loves a good adventure.

2. He's not afraid of hard work.

3. When he gets into something, he really gets into it. There's no dabbling for Alex--either you know nothing about a subject, or you know everything.

4. He has a great sense of humor.


5. He's one of the most loving people I've ever met.

6. He's athletic.


7. He gets along with everyone, no matter how annoying they are.

8. He comes with an amazing family.

9. He's got an opinion about everything.


10. He's incredibly inteligent.
