Happy 14th Wedding Anniversary!
Fourteen years ago today, I married my best friend. Since then, we’ve lived in three homes, adopted one cat (still healthy as ever), visited four countries (plus Hawaii), had a son (who graduated Pre-Kindergarten last night), and still remain best friends.
I love you, Aaron. Happy Anniversary.
P.S. Thank you for the anniversary flowers!
Mother’s Day Weekend
Mother’s Day Weekend was nothing out of the ordinary, but still pretty awesome.
We played outside and enjoyed the weather…
Connor let me sleep in for an entire extra hour on Sunday morning before waking me up to give me my Mother’s Day gift and an awesome card…
We ate lunch at a new Szechuan (Chinese) restaurant…
…and I put my Mother’s Day gift into service.
We brought home so many leftovers that Chinese lunch became Chinese dinner, as well — which meant I didn’t even have to cook dinner on Mother’s Day. Bonus!
Even though it wasn’t super fancy — we didn’t do brunch, I didn’t get a Mother’s Day carnation or rose or anything, and I still had to do laundry because it was Sunday — this was quite possibly the best Mother’s Day yet. It just felt right: laid-back, with awesome weather, and the perfect balance of normal and special.
Life is good.
Farewell to Phil
My stepbrother is visiting friends and family around Ohio and across the U.S. before traveling abroad for a few months and finally landing in his new home in South America. Safe travels, Phil.
Edit, August 2017: Seems Phil had a change of heart and opted to stay in the States following his world tour.
Megan’s Wedding: 22 October 2016
Aaron, Connor, and I drove about 90 minutes east to attend Cousin Megan’s wedding back in October. We stayed much later than we’d originally planned, but we all had a great time — especially Connor, who thanked Megan for making his dream come true of having a dance party.
Now that the film photos are developed, here are my favorite photos from the evening.
