Lucky Number 13



It's our 13th wedding anniversary today.

What luck that Ben Blair gets more charming every year. If I'd understood how fun it would be to be married to him, I would have shortened our 2 month engagement. Here's to number thirteen — bound to be our luckiest year yet!


I know it's blurry, but don't you think it captures my adoration?

5 kids and 13 years. You have a lot of wife and mother badges on your sash (I was a Brownie for a year and I still remember the badges...)

Congratulations! I love a good love story.

Happy Anniversary! I fall more deeply in love with my hubby as the years go by, too. I love it! And we were engaged after 3 months of knowing each other, and married on the 1 year anniversary of our first date!
