Thankful Thursday 6/5

Today I am thankful for my (almost) sixteen wonderful years of marriage to Mr. Math Teacher. Tomorrow is the official wedding anniversary (yes, it's D-day). Sixteen years ago, in Metairie, Lousiana, Mr. Math Teacher and I were married in a small Presbyterian church. Since so much of our family is from the South, we had lots of family members there for the wedding. After the wedding, we had a lovely reception. Being in Lousiana, we had wonderful Cajun and Creole seafood. And, when it was all done, Mr. Math Teacher and I spent our first married night at Nottoway, a historic plantation home on the famous River Road. Three days after our wedding, I took the USMLE Step 2 (medical licensure examination). The day after the test was done, we went to Walt Disney World for a week-long honeymoon.

The last sixteen years haven't all been easy, but I am so glad that I have spent them with Mr. Math Teacher. During our marriage we have changed states twice and houses three times. We now have two lovely children. We have gone from being a family with a professional mom and a stay-at-home dad to being a family with a soon-to-be entrepreneur dad (more on that later) and a stay-at-home mom. But, the entire time, Mr. Math Teacher and I have been completely committed to each other and to God.

Thank God for sixteen wonderful years of marriage.
