So tomorrow (June 13th) is Jim's 36 th birthday, AND our 12th anniversary!! A very exciting day indeed. Although usually I hate it because Jim always outdoes me with an anniversary gift that makes my birthday present to him look like I got it from the dollar store. Come to think of it... I might as well. So, in honor of our special day, I'll just have a basic cheesefest for Jim.
We met in April 1996. We immediately started dating other people. (Although I always kept my eye out for him). I thought his name was Tim. He thought my name was "Helga, or something". He scared the crap out of me. My friend told me I had no chance with him. But later told me he was the one. We were always together. I thought I would get arrested or something if I went to his dorm. We were engaged on Dec 11 1996. We were married on June 13th 1997. We went on two honeymoons... Seattle, and Mexico. Jim had a lovely time in Mexico with dislocating his shoulder, getting burned to a crisp while snorkeling, losing his watch, and picking up a wonderful thing called Montezuma's revenge. Oh well, at least I got to lay out more. We were stationed in Virginia right away, and had our first baby right away. Kimrie was born 13 months later. Then off to Japan where we welcomed Mallory. Colorado Springs,(blessed with Abbey) Greeley, (Jim made me get rid of the cat, but gained a PhD)then Colorado Springs. Jim is a wonderful father, very loving, very strict, very involved. He teases the girls mercilessly, luckily it takes some the heat off of me! (Only a small fraction though) He loves to harrass and tease our friends as well. You know Jim likes you if he makes fun of you.
Jim and I are opposites in many, many ways. But one thing in common, we love to be together.I am so lucky to have Jim, we laugh so hard together, and I wouldn't want to spend my life with anyone else!
Here is a picture of us "working together"..

ahhhh...cute. you two are so cute together! wish we could see you more often! Still hoping to plan a trip in our near future!
It does not matter what you are doing Inger--you are just beautiful smiling or not.
Happy Birthday and Anniversary! You guys make a great couple.
It was so fun chatting for a bit last week. I'm so glad and grateful we will already have some good friends when we move to Colorado...now if we can just find a place to lay our weary heads all will be good!
Inger I LOVE this picture. Cause I know your serious, don't give me anymore crap looks. And although you are sideways, and I could be wrong, 50$ says that is the exact look on your face! I LOVE IT!!! You are so funny, even when you are ticked off!
P.S. maybe I already knew this, just didn't remember, but Josh and Jim have the same birthday. And he just turned 36! I love teasing him about how he doesn't have far till he is 40! Then he is definately an old guy!
