2. Both got jobs in St. Cloud
3. We have owned 2 different homes
4. We have owned 6 different vehicles (a lot, I know!)
5. We have been blessed with 2 beautiful children

It doesn't seem like a whole lot that we have done in eleven years, but it sure goes by fast!! I suppose I could have added the 7 years of dating before that and everything we did together then too.
Happy Anniversary Babe!

Good Point By Andrea!


Andrea talked about her family's recent trip and what she is doing to entertain her 22 month old in the car. She invested in a DVD player--SMART!
What did we do way back when on trips in the summer to entertain us? On our family trip to Banf Canada back in...Lord who knows when? I had a Walk-Man that I played NKOTB and Poison on. I had maybe a Bop or Teen Beat to look at. I talked to my mom and Harvey, as my 3 sisters slept, read, listened to Walk-Mans in the backseat. It must have been painful, but can't really remember.
Now on a 2 hour drive to the lake, we have to pack snacks, sippies, toys, bears, blankets, DVDs for the wireless headset, Van DVD player in the ceiling, and still can't manage to entertain a 6 and 2 year old. For me, I now have PEOPLE magazine, snacks of my own, my plastic, insulated, straw cup, full of ice tea, and my IPHONE to occupy my trip.

What did you have or do on your long, summer, family vacation?

(Sorry for grammar errors and run on sentences. I am not a writer and therefore do not write on m Blog often.)

The family picture is a trip to Mexico in 1995. I did not have a Banf picture on my computer. We obviously didn't drive to Mexico but flight can be just as draining on a family and kids, as taking them in a van.
