This weekend is Adam and my 17th wedding anniversary, and it seems like yesterday I wore the beautiful white dress, danced the night away and then we went on an Alaskan cruise. So much has happened in the 17 years both to us as a couple, as individuals, as a family and the world.
Back in 1997, there was no iphone and no texting. Back in 1997 we didn't have a digital camera to bring to Alaska.
In 1998, we moved out of our rental apartment (in lovely Peabody), and purchased our current home. We bought the house before we had kids. We bought a cape cod style house, that was battleship gray, but it was ours. We bought a house that had a 1970's kitchen and some extra pets - bats. And that was the summer I got educated about bats.
And as life went on, we became parents (learned even more about bats), learned about parenting infants, toddlers, preschoolers, etc. We had to find our own style, and how to teach our family about work life balance. How to teach our kids that we are individuals but we are a part of this special family.
I am so fortunate for finding Adam, and for June 29, 1997, and for every day after that. . . . .
