My question I pulled out says: What Is A Favorite Year Or Event That Sticks Out? Well, for me, that could be 25.
(wifey)
25 as in what? (confused face)
(hubby)
25 individual years or events because I can think of some favorite event each year of our marriage!
(wifey)
Awe ...(chuckles)

I would say ...'98, our 10th year of marriage. That was a very good year! We were excited coming up on a milestone of 10 years, so we decided to contact a travel agent and book our cruise. We paid the downpayment and were so excited and looking forward to it. In between that time we found out a stowaway, our unborn son would be coming along -- wifey was pregnant which made the anniversary trip even more exciting!
(wifey)
Something was in the oven! (LOL)
(hubby)
That year was very exciting for we did a lot of things, the cruise...
(wifey)
Yes, everyone was worried because they thought I would have morning sickness or be unstable being on the water but it turned out I did great!

During our 10th year, 1998,transitioning into 1999, our son was born. I'll just say '98, our 10 year was a favorite year for me!
(wifey)
1999, 11th year was also the beginning of Malinda, our daughter's acceleration with school, right?
(hubby)
Right.
