15 Years With The Mayor

When I was 17 my friend sent me a picture of himself with a group of guys at the MTC. Two years later, when my friend came home we hung out together in a big group, and he always brought along one of guys from the picture, it was The Mayor.

I'd love to post some cute romantic story about how The Mayor and I saw each other, fell in love at first sight, and lived happily ever after. Who am I kidding? It's me; I can hardly choose paint colors for my walls. Committing to forever? Um, big decision.

Four years after I received that first picture and all the drama of our on again off again relationship, we finally tied the knot. My only regret is the two years wasted in dating. If I would have understood how much I love being Mrs. Mayor I would have signed up for the job the first day I met him.

You make me cry! I remember you guys dating and me shamelessly using you to take my kids out on dates with you. Ahhh! those were the days. You are a sweet family and I would say you made a very good choice.

Wow, 15 years! That's crazy talk. I can't believe it's been so long. Congrats on making marriage look fun & easy - not an easy task, especially being married to a Cook. You guys were the ones I looked to the most when I was young to see that marriage can be great and wonderful and forever. Thanks! Happy Anniversary!

How can it be 15 years?? Wasn't it just last weekend you were dating? Heather, you are awesome! Thanks for making my son so happy and for two amazing grandchildren. What more could a Mother in Law ask for?
