There's nothing superstitious about the number 13 for me. Especially this year.
The above picture was taken 13 years ago -- August 6, 1994. The day I became the luckiest man in the world. Yeah, I said it. The world.
As I sit here and type this, I can't even fathom all that has gone on in those 13 years. All I know is I couldn't have made it on my own. And, fortunately, I didn't have to. Renee has been by my side. Each step of the way.
We've created life. We've endured death. We've started new jobs. We've built a house. We've moved from one state to another. From the happiest moment to the hardest, it's only been one way -- together.
Can't really ask for more than that.
My only hope today? That she believes I've lived up to my end of the deal as much as she's lived up to hers. I certainly have tried. But, I gotta tell you, she sets a mean example.
She has seen me at my best -- and at my worst. She has put up with so much -- and then some. And I'll never be able to express how appreciative I am.
She's an unbelievable teacher.
She's an amazing mother.
She's an incredible wife.
But, mostly, she's a fabulous friend.
Happy 13th Anniversary, Renee.
Love you. Mega.
What else? I got nothin'.

Congrads! you are awesome! happy anniversary!
Mike - you should share some funny comments about your reception:
1. You and Mrs FIJ doing body shots off eachother
2. You taking off your tux and underneath were a pair of short shorts and a tuxedo t-shirt
3. The striptease you did.
Ommmm - should I be saying these things?
Forget the but - the hair - look at the hair!
Much love and many congrats to you and Renee - you guys rock!
But, then, that's what you do.
Realizing now that butt has two "t"s in it...that's what I get for blogging before the morning coffee.
Aww! Happy Anniversary! You are like the most perfect husband - at least from what I know reading your blog. I hope I marry someone who can still gush about me after 13 years of wedded bliss. :)
Happy Anniversary!
Sweetest. Post. Ever
