How to keep an old marriage new...

So last Thursday, Chad and I celebrated our 16th Wedding Anniversary. We didn't do much. I wrote him a little letter detailing my memories of the night before and the day of our wedding, and then got a little mushy about the past 16 years. He bought me a new purse. We went out to dinner the following night and did a little shopping for a new wakeboard at the Chick's tent sale. And, we played some practical jokes on each other.

This practical joking started a long time ago, but really picked up speed this past year. And I have to say, it keeps things interesting! We hide little plastic toys for each other in unexpected places (his best, texting me a picture of it, my best, putting it in his morning hot chocolate - who knew that a plastic fish would sink to the bottom of the mug?) Yesterday, I changed his sleep number on our bed - Chad usually sleeps at a 55 or 60, and I drained that sucker down to a very soft and mushy 5. When he rolled in for his Sunday afternoon nap, he got stuck! "What the heck?" I just giggled. But he got me back. Last night when I went to climb in bed (after a late night of blogging) my side of the mattress was hard as a rock! He had pumped that thing up to 100! I just giggled again. I'm so glad we make each other laugh. Now I just have to figure out what I can do to him next...
