On this day in 1996… We were 2 kids getting married in Tacoma with a handful of dreams, very few plans, and even fewer dollars in the bank.

On this day in 1997… We were desperately trying to find an affordable place to live to Kirkland, where Laura would soon be starting college at Northwest.

On this day in 2001… We had just learned that Laura was pregnant with our first child, but had decided to wait a little longer before telling anyone else.

On this day in 2006… We were both feeling super excited and super stressed, while unpacking after moving into our new dream home.

On this day, TODAY… We take off for Europe on the next leg of our #SeattleBundas Family Sabbatical.

There’s no way anyone could’ve predicted the amazing journey that we’ve been on for these last 19 years. I’m so excited about what the next 19 years will bring.

Happy Anniversary, Babe!
