20 years ago yesterday May 7
After a sleepless night I was preparing to say the biggest 2 words in my life. 3 letters, massive consequences 
Where does time go? Our Son graduates Friday, our Daughter is 20 and our wonderful little Grandson is 9 months old.
I remember something in my wedding vows, or maybe in the contract we signed saying that we were going to honeymoon for 40 years. 
I am halfway through the honeymoon already!

Congrats, Ken!

Congrats! your 20 year anniversary and 20 year old daughter causes me to think of my mom and her reaction when we announced our engagement (which coincedentally was about 20 years ago too):
Me: Mom, we are getting married!
Mom: Wow, so soon?!! Can I ask the big question? Are you expecting?
Me: What!? No! (not that it couldn't have happened)
Anyway, I digress...happy anniversary!

Thanks everyone!
20 years ago today there was a fire call during our wedding. Several left but I stayed lol.
Today I was fighting fire again. Great way to spend your anniversary!
I'm turning the radio off tonight.

Congratulations Ken. With one married off, you just need to get the other one done and then the honeymoon can really start.
