13. We're about 31 as well
30th anniversary in January 2012.

How has she put up with me? She's the easiest person in the world to get along with (yeah, I know, Grammar Nazis), and I'm a pain in the proverbial.

14. Four years,
but we've only met in person once. Yeah, it's a L-O-O-O-O-N-G distance relationship :)

Next Spring, I'll be helping her to visit Texas for a couple of weeks. She might just want to stay :D

18. We are lucky, aren't we, Peggy?
There are some things in my life I might change if I could, but marrying Mr. froggy wouldn't be one of them.

Congratulations to you both, and a :toast: to you too!

19. We most definitely are!
Marrying my husband was probably the smartest thing I ever did!

Thanks, sweetie!

29. 30 years this last October 31st,

Everyone who bet on how long the marriage

after they gave me a social disease.
