July 4th

I was looking back at some (very) old pictures. I found these of our first two July Fourth holidays (2000 and 2001). Both were before we were married. We look like such kids—and very unaware of all that our future held. (But I'm very glad we did not know.)


2000--Stillwater fireworks



St. Mary's Point earlier that day



2001--Stillwater fireworks again

And I found this little card...

Chris loved events and celebrations. And he loved to talk about them after the fact. And I loved the way he always made me feel like I was the person he wanted to be with most—for all of life's events. Had I known all the events our life together would hold, I would have done it all over again.

Remembering him and all the fun we had.
