14th anniversary

Our wedding 9/20/97

Wow! Has it been this long? Seems just like yesterday I was this little 17 year old and now I'm 31 and on my third child. How did that happen? Okay don't answer that, I already know HOW that happen! lol

It's sad to say that the years have just gone passed us so quickly....in fact, it goes too quickly. My oldest is now 13 and almost a high school-er and my second - my baby- is now 10 and almost a middle school-er!
I kinda wish the years would go slowly. I want to keep them with me forever, if that's even possible. I can't think of college right now but i know it's coming around the corner.

It's been 14 years of tears, laughter, and love and i wouldn't have it any other way. We have our ups and downs but at the end of the day we always make sure to say "sorry"! No one said it was easy........and LORD knows it wasn't easy for us. But we've come out on top against all the odds. I'm so glad I found such a man who cares so much for us.

I love him! :))

Lien:
I love that you work extra hard for your family.
We love that after such a hard day at work, you still come home and spend time with us.
We love that you get down and play with us.
We love that you would do anything for us.
Most of all, we love you for being you!

I never knew that one day my life would be like this. But i'm glad it turned out this way. I have such wonderful people in my life. I am truly blessed.

The card Lien bought me. Now do you see why I love this man? He is the sweetest. Card came with a purple Orchid, my fave!

We had a busy year this year. We had Naree's soccer game and Nilun's soccer game going on at the same time. Plus Naree had band practice but soccer went a little later than we expected so we weren't able to go. After getting every one home Lien asked if I wanted to go out for dinner. I had the kids decide and of course they wanted to go out. It's what they love to do! :)
So we couldn't decide on a place so I thought okay i'm in the mood for calamari and since i have not been to Bahama Breeze in such a long time i'll go again.
Needless to say, it was a poor judgement on my side. Our food was not great. The salmon linguine i had was flavorless and way too creamy. The lobster and shrimp linguine Lien had was dry and way too creamy. Plus it was way over priced. My niece's steak was dry and had no flavor what-so-ever. My daughter had chicken fingers and the lady didn't even have bbq sauce for her. And yes we did ask. Her service wasn't great either. She dropped one of our plates down hard on the table, one plate was slide down to us and one almost slipped out of her hand. Now i don't know if it was her or if she had a bad day but that was not right. She didn't really come by to see how we are doing and it took her forever to refill our drinks.
I must say, our experience there really sucked. This is one restaurant that we are crossing off our list FOREVER!
Oh and to top it off they stopped serving calamari! THAT was a disappointment.....And the prices have definitely went up. The kids didn't even enjoy it. We all agreed we will not be going back.
Our dinner was expensive but the time i spent with my family is still priceless to me, even if it wasn't the best experience. At least we experienced it together.

There's not much to say here, except for that every year. I fall much more in love with my husband! And every year he surprises me by being such an incredible dad and husband. We are truly blessed to have him in our lives.

Happy 14th anniversary my love! You are the best decision i made in my life and I am looking forward to more wonderful crazy years with you!

Love always!
