Happy Anniversary to me (and Kevin)!! Today we have been legal for 10 years! Wow, it seems unbelievable that we have been together 17 years. Here we are at a Christmas party not long after we got together.
We have had some great times, been through some rough times, but guess that's what life is all about, right? This month we are taking a week's cruise vacation to just soak up some sun and a little alcohol! Don't have to worry about a designated driver (are you listening, Captain??) so we both can enjoy ourselves.
We are both looking forward to getting away from home with no obligations to accomplish anything during the day!!!
Today is also a sad day. Today is my sister Nancy's birthday. She passed away last August and this is the first birthday we have missed.
Just 13 months younger than me, we were each other's first friend. We shared secrets that no one else knew, we had each other's back, but we also fought like cats and dogs when we were younger.
In this picture, Nancy is on the left, about 4 months old. Our mother is holding us, and I am on the right, about 17 months old. (and yes, I do have on a diaper and rubberpants!)
We shared the same bedroom until I left home. We were competitive as hell! If I got all A's on my report card, she had to have the same grades. One B and the other one was a dummy, or so we told each other! Maybe I have her to thank for getting such good grades in school.
Her hubby, Andy is my brother (well, not literally!). We have known each other since I was 15! He seems like a wart on my, well no, not that! (just checking to see if you read this, Andy!) He's a great guy and I'm so glad that Nancy found someone like him to spend her life with.
