This is dedicated to the one I love. What can happen in 17 years? You can move 7 times; 1 trailer, 3 apartments, 1 stay with parents, and 2 houses. 2 large cities, 2 large towns, one rural community. You can pay 7 schools for an education. You can have 15 jobs; some good, some bad, and some just pay the bills. Your country can be attacked several times, and you can be at war. The Economy can falter, improve, falter, improve... You can travel many places, Smokey Mountains, Grand Canyon, Mexico, Disney World, and so much more. You can have 2 children; 3 years of sleepless nights, 1 1/2 years of ear aches, several weeks of vomiting, 1 trip to the Urgent Care Clinic for stitches, and countless hours and days of laughter. You can grieve the loss of 6 grandparents, and rejoice at the birth of 2 nieces. You can make friends and lose friends. Sometimes, you have long-distance friends. You can hurt, laugh, cry, worry, wonder, and fall deeper in love. Happy Anniversary, Lover!
