12 Years on the 12th

Bo and I were married 12 years ago Sunday. It is hard to believe it has been that long in some ways, but in others it feels like it should be much longer. For instance, we've lived in 4 different locales since we were married. When first married we lived in Fuquay-Varina, NC, then Boston, Baltimore, and now Birmingham. I wonder what the next 'B' city will be . . .

We've also lost many family members in the past 12 years. Bo's father died, along with two of Bo's old friends. Then both my parents died in 2000. We've both lost aunts and uncles during this time period too. It seems we've lost a lot of family and friends during such a short time period!

Luckily, we've also had a great joy during this time -- the birth of our daughter. She continues to bring us more joy than we ever imagined possible.

I hope the next 12 years will bring us many more joys and fewer sad times. . .

I vote for a move to Bucksnort, TN. That's a "B" city for ya! No, on second thought, y'all stay here. We would miss you! Congrats on twelve wonderful years of memory making!
