This is us after 12 years of marriage. If you count the two years and 10 months that we dated before getting married, we have been together for 15 years.

Wow, 15 years! That sounds like alot, but yet, at times, the years have flown by. Rod has decided to show his maturing age and grow a beard and mustache. In the 15 years that we have been together, this is the first time he has done this. At first, the kids were not so sure of this new style. Daddy was pretty poky and prickly.

I would say that we have gotten used to this new style. Rod's beard has grown out and is pretty soft. I also have a new way of getting his attention quickly.... just give a little tug...it works everytime. We took this picture after the fashion show of Friday.
