Twenty. One. Years!

Superman and I tied the knot, 21 years ago (Apr 8)...
Our knee jerk wedding, turned into a marriage full of miracles and mayhem and medication. :)
Nobody knew we would make it, except us.
So glad we found each other early, so we could love each other longer....
21 not so fascinating facts, for 21 not so fantastic years ;)

1. We were married on a school night,in high school.
2. Our first pet was a cat named Jezebel.

4. My mom accompanied us on our honeymoon, not even joking.
5. We have moved 13 times in 21 years.
6. Our wedding reception and my high school grad were held the same weekend, we attended both.

18. Our favourite store was ToysRUs, even before we had kids.
