A Walk Down Memory Lane

One of the cool things about packing up your house and moving somewhere else is that in the process, you often happen upon things that have been buried and forgotten about for a long, long time. Old diaries, photo albums, love notes, small tokens of friendship... Sometimes it's hard to stay on task when these little interesting things are uncovered. I also decided to put in me and Robbie's wedding video last night while I was eating dinner and Zaylee was playing on the floor. Remember, I don't have cable anymore and since our DVD player is on the fritz, I chose this VHS from our measly collection of video tapes. I popped it in and was teleported back almost 4 years to one of the happiest days of my life. I love watching our wedding tape. The people in it have already changed so much, and some special people are no longer with us. Robbie and I were so young and excited, not to mention we both were lookin' pretty good that day. A lot of my friends from college and high school were there, and those in the wedding party even left us pieces of advice and well wishes. Probably the neatest thing about watching the wedding all over again was hearing what the officiant, my uncle Pat, had to say to us and thinking all over again how right he was when he talked to us about marriage. We've had a lot of new, exciting, and challenging experiences in the last 3 years and 8 months. But it feels good to look back and know we've overcome them together and are still going strong.
I miss you Robbie, and I love you more every day. And I miss you, family and friends, who were there to share that important day with us, and who shared so many other special memories with us in the past.
