Today marks the beginning of mine and Matt's Year of Ivory as we are celebrating fourteen years of marriage. I toyed with the idea of getting Matt this lovely ivory phone case ~
~ but after buying new bedroom furniture I think the gift is going to be something more reasonable...From our humble beginnings...
we have exploded into the vast Asay empire we are today (okay, only four kids).The thing I love about having been married to Matt this long is that each year is better than the one before. Truly.
How well do you know your spouse...this little Spouse Quiz will test your knowledge.

Congrats Jenny. You guys have accomplished a lot in the last 14 years. I'm just glad you've been able to reign Matt in a bit.
Congratulations Matt and Jen! I liked what you said about each year being better than the one before. Ry and I feel the same way. Happy Anniversary!
Jen, gotta say, I love you! You feel just like a sister to me and I'm so glad you didn't pull the plug that first year!
Jen you are perfect for Matt and he for you. I am also happy you are in our family---what would we do without you! I love you MOM
That picture warms my heart!! So cute, you guys look like kids! Congrats!
Congratulations on 14 yrs! I LOVE this picture. You remind me of Lily in 15 yrs. I also sported braids once upon a time :-)
I love that picture of you two! You look so much like Marcee in that picture (or I guess she looks like YOU). I'm glad I found your blog. It's fun to read things from other people's perspective and to see how they view life. And I liked learning more about Matt from that little quiz :)

I liked the idea of getting Matt some soap. He is fond of soap, particularly if someone is acting sick. It is also really useful for object lessons or analogies in church. More on that topic soon.
