New Beginnings!

Please check out this beautiful and heartfelt post from my sister-in-law Caroline about how her nieces' first day of school coincided with her last day at work at the National Gallery of Art.  She is so talented and beautiful and she's about to move back to Houston!  Her sense of style is seriously the only thing standing between me and a pair of mom jeans, so you can imagine how ecstatic I am that she is coming home!

Kindergarten is here

It is requiring every ounce of self-control that I can muster to sleep in my own bed tonight.  A big, big part of myself wants to crawl in bed with Amanda and hold her close all night long.  Please, Lord, give me the strength to let her out of the car in the morning.

Young Love

My Dearest Husband,

On this, our eighth anniversary, I believe that a salute to the mature and considered nature of our proper, indeed, practically Victorian, courtship is in order. 

If you will peruse the pictures below, I'm sure you'll agree with me that they convey the message, "Here are two young adults who clearly have their futures and their own best interests in mind."




 



With a beginning as purposeful and pensive as ours, it is no surprise at all that our marriage has endured for eight whole years.  Happy Anniversary, my dear.  What d'ya say we go for nine?

Love,
Your First Wife
