16 years.3 children, 2 miscarriages along the way, and a whole lot of hugs.
A few arguments, some tears, and a lifetime worth of laughter.
Tomorrow is the 16th anniversary of what I like to refer to as "The Miracle of Ang agreeing to marry me" but what most would refer to as our 16th wedding anniversary.
Somehow, in spite of the amount of idiocy that has come out of my mouth over the past decade and a half, she's stuck by me. From stupid comments like "I make 5 times as much money as you" to watching me turn into a raving lunatic in the fall of 2004 she's been there.
As I've wilted like a dying flower at the sight of a dirty diaper, she's been there to knock me out of the way, roll up her sleeves, and get her hands dirty. So to speak. She's been a stay at home with the rowdiest bunch of kids this side of "The Bad News Bears" for the past 10 years and I'll be forever grateful.
How she's managed to not lock them all in a cage at one point or another is a question for another day.
Add onto all that the fact she's married to a OCD having, attention span lacking, Red Sox obsessed dink of a husband and I'm pretty sure she deserves a medal. Or at the very least the Pulitzer Prize.
Happy Anniversary, darlin'.
I've just got one question.
Due to the fact I'm 38 yet look like I'm 50, how in God's name do you look better NOW than you did then?

Wait a minute. I know I was your best man, but after looking at that picture, I couldn't have been. I didn't know you got married in 1984.
Happy anniversary old man.
And yes, I had the ring.
Bite me, youngster.
And you did a bang up job holding the ring. You better be polite to your elders or the picture of you with the hair down to your waist is going up next. ;)
Happy Anniversary Ted and Ang!!
Sticks and stones, Billy Ray, Stick and stones...
Thanks, Tex.
Tomorrow? Mattie with the Mullet from hell. ;)
You're just jealous...I made that thing look good.
You looked like the drummer for Molly Hatchet.
Seriously.
And we looked good in our golden locks.
First of all, Happy Anniversary, my friend!! 16 years is a great achievement.
Second, that's the way it works. Our wives get better looking while we get older. I don't get it either. I look every bit of my 50 years, and my wife looks great, like she's thirty-something!
Mattie, "good" is not how I'd describe what we looked like.
And thanks, Bickley. Maybe one day we can find the fountain of youth someday too.
I didn't say you looked good. I said "we" meaning myself and the drummer from GFR.
You need help.
Happy Anniversary,Ted and Ang.
Thanks, John. Still seeing you in a week or so?
Happy Anniversary, Ted and Angie!
John's coming back? Wow. :)
Hopefully, Stacy. I think he said a week from this coming Monday?
//Still seeing you in a week or so?//
Yep, assuming the monsoon lets up long enough to get to the airport tomorrow.
Sunday week, Ted.
Sunday; that's right. Looking forward to seeing you buddy; safe travels.
I hope your anniversary was spectacular!
