Today is a happy day. Nine years ago today Chris and I got married. I gained a step-daughter and Sam gained a step-sister. With all the crazy stuff going on in the world today, it’s wonderful to think back on July 9, 2011. We were married in my parents’ backyard. My dad, who would die in 2014, gave me away. My oldest friend (we’ve been friends for nearly 48 years now) officiated. Our honeymoon was spent in a beach house with 8 other people (Sam, and Chris’ family who had traveled from the UK and New Zealand for the wedding). There was some stress and strain (torrential rain up until a few hours before the outdoor wedding, for instance), but to me, looking back, it was perfect.
Tomorrow, more things that make me happy. See you then. xoxo
We’re SO glad that happened—and that you are part of our lives!
