Tonight's picture was taken in July of 2007. As you can see we had a lot going on, on our deck. We had Patches, our cat sitting on top of Mattie's sand box. We had a large inflatable pool taking up half the deck, and on the table if you notice carefully are two special wine goblets. These goblets belongs to my paternal grandparents. They were used during their wedding to make a celebratory toast. After that point, my grandparents used them on special occasions, such as anniversaries. After they died, my uncle gave Peter and I these goblets. Since we had them out on the table, I know this meant we were toasting our anniversary, and Mattie came to give me a big hug for the occasion!

Yesterday, I pulled out our wedding album. I haven't done this in at least a decade. I then reached for my camera and snapped photos of the photos, since this was before the age of electronic photographs.
Karen and I met in 6th grade and we are lifetime friends. Christina and I met in college, and Jen, Colleen, and I met in graduate school in Boston.
photo of my paternal grandparents. They too were married on July 15th! If they were alive today, they would have celebrated their 81st anniversary.
