16 Years of......

Today is our 16th anniversary. Can you believe Uncle Joe has been able to put up with me and my silliness for that long?? :o)

Dear Joe,

Thanks for being my BFF, my love, my husband, and the father of our girls. You are awesome and I am glad to share my life with you.

Love,

AJ
