Thirty years ago tonight I was single! Ken and I picked up his brother Bill at the airport, went out to dinner, then on to the wedding rehearsal. Following the rehearsal we went back to my parents' house in Mt. Prospect for snacks and champagne. Seems like yesterday.....but not.
I can't imagine or remember life without David and Kevin....and now also can't imagine life without their special women, Lisa and Jen.
Ken's sister Kris turns 50 this week. That means she was just turning 20 at our wedding. She hadn't yet experienced years in Arizona, years in Alaska, and now a new home in Boise.
Ed and Judy were young parents. Four year old Nancy was excited to be in a frilly dress and two year old Tom was decked out in a ruffled satin shirt. Now Nancy's sons are almost those ages!
The Club 62 crowd was all at our wedding. Grade and high school friends Diane and Jeff were there. Church friends were there. Ken's fraternity brothers were there. Our parents and many of their relatives and friends were all there.
Three of our parents and most of their relatives and friends have passed away and we miss them, but we are so blessed to remain close to the rest of the people who shared our wedding day. Our blessings have multiplied as we have made new friends over the years. Can't imagine life without all of the old and newer friends!
It was exciting to envision our life together 30 years ago. It is even better to look back on the gifts of the past 30 years and look forward to all that is to come. God is good!
