Jenn, remember our first 2 years of being married? Our take home pay was $1000 a month. We were poor and knew it. Good thing (or good luck as Nolan would say) we started out in upstate NY, because NY is one of the few states that pay $.05 for coke cans and beer bottles. At night after work we would ride our bicycles along the roads picking up cans and bottles. I really cleaned up after the single Soldiers would throw their nightly parties in the barracks. 400 cans later we would go to dinner and a movie. I pulled up next to you with Wal-Mart sacks hanging on each of our handle bars full of cans and asked, “Did you ever think having our degrees we would be picking up cans for money?”
Here we are 11 years later and it has been a fun bike ride, Happy Anniversary.
Also, happy anniversary too our cool neighbors, Butch and Debra (34 years) and Professor of A-9 (Nolan’s teacher) Laurie and Bob (34 years).
You guys are too cute!!!
