Another wedding and....

today is our 31st Wedding Anniversary!

It's been quite a ride with lots of excitement along the way. The hubby and I have grown up together and had some fun along the way. He has always been a great provider and good father and husband. Now we are in this empty nest stage trying to find mutual interests and learning to enjoy being together just the two of us again because for the last 20 years it's been about our children and we haven't taken the time we should have to do things together more often. So we are trying to figure out how we want to live out our last years together here on this earth. We would like to have fun but also do something meaningful. So here you go...a little look back through the years! This was us 31 years ago.

My colors were pink and gray.

Then 8 years later~going to my 10 year High School Reunion.

11 years later and look a family!

In 2005, he's a bit of a clown and keeps me laughing!

This last year in 2008 in Chicago! I love this photo!

As you can see, we've grown up, the kids have grown up, we are grandparents and another year has gone by! We will go out tonight for a nice dinner. Last year was New York. Look back at my posts to see our fabulous time last June.

And now the wedding.....

Another new life together began last Sunday for my friend, Tricia's daughter, Kristin. Kristin was my daughter's best friend from 3 years old to 5th grade when we moved away. It was sad for them, myself and Dallas also because Kristin's mom was my best friend and Dallas' best friend was Kyle, Kristin's brother. Needless to say, it's been 19 years and we have kept in touch and try to see each other once a year(Tricia and I). It's a friendship that is so comfortable and we can just pick up like we saw each other yesterday. Tricia is a beautiful Christian mom and friend. She has been an encouragement to me always in my walk with the Lord. So...back to the wedding...last Sunday, Kristin married Zach at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. It was lovely, she was lovely and it was great to see my friend and her family all grown up.

Here's my daughter, Danielle(3rd from left) and Kristin(4th from left)
