2 years ago. 2 years!! You were there for my first breath and I was there for your last. The gravity of those 2 moments are not lost on me as a Mother myself.

Now it was here in my house as I stood over the kitchen sink washing dishes while J & E were gone to the local do-it-yourself-store. In my house that didn’t exist 7 years ago.

4 Years Ago….
These words are just as important now as they were when I was saying them nervously & excitedly 4 years ago. I take time to re-read our vows every year. In the presence of God and before these witnesses, I L.aura take you J.ohn to be my husband. I will treasure our friendship, and love you today, tomorrow, and forever. i will trust and honour you. i will laugh and cry with you, and share my life openly and honestly with you. i do not take you for granted, i cherish you. i do not need you, i choose you. i choose you today in witness of all the people…

This time last year
I was having the time of my life in the company of fools!! 🙂 HERE to Reminisce Quite a change from this year. So much for being annual. Well it can still happen. I’m thinking it’ll just be in the Fall sometime. But man, it was a sweet sweet weekend! Oh to repeat now would be too good to be true. Girls, plan another weekend with me. In 2009 so it can continue to be “annual”. 🙂
