15 Years together and somebody's going to be 40


Well, we just got back from our cruise. What a trip! We had so much fun. It was really the trip of a lifetime. We went on the trip for two reasons. First to celebrate our 15th anniversary. We had planned on either going to Hawaii or on a cruise for the last seven years and surprisingly Natalie was either pregnant or nursing a baby. So finally we were able to go. Secondly because Natalie turns the big 4 - 0 next month. Yep Natalie's 40. I'm posting this out there in hopes that she doesn't read it for a couple of days. I'll probably get the business when she finds out!

Anyway, we got our picture taken numerous times on the cruise. This is one of our favorite pictures. I couldn't say no to buying it. Look at those eyes on that beautiful woman! Wow!

It was really rejuvenating to both of us going on this trip. I don't think I swore at one person in traffic on the way to work Monday morning. I've been nice and relaxed ever since. The only problem I've had since being back is the ground moving. I haven't quite got my land legs back yet.

Happy 15 to you both! I'm sure you will have many, many, many more together! YOU ARE BOTH AMAZING WONDERFUL PEOPLE! CONGRATS! And I'm so jealous...you got to go on a cruise! (well, not completely...I'm not much of a water person...just mostly jealous that you got to get away!) GORGEOUS picture! I can see why you couldn't resist! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

Ahhhh! That is awesome! I'm glad you finally got to get away! There's is nothing like being newlyweds all over again! BTW Natalie, you may be turning 40, but I know your really 22 at heart! And please, don't let Wade advertise that before it's time! Enjoy 39 as long as you can!

What a sweet guy...sneaking on to the blog to tell everyone that your wife is turning 40...WAIT! Not sure I'd be to excited if my hubby did that!:) Truth is, Natalie's 40 looks like everyone else's 30. What a great picture! What a great couple! Glad you've got that swearing under control!;)
