What can I say? I love this cat.

This is “The Bud.”  I took these in December 2009 and just finally got them on the computer.  Isn’t he sweet? =^.^=

46 Years Ago Today…

March 1st, 2010

my parents got married.  I wasn’t around…yet.  However, I do have their photo album and I can share that my mom made her own wedding dress out of white velvet.  I wore this same dress for my wedding in 1998.  My grandfather did the flowers.

At my wedding, I remember my dad taking a photo of Nate and me posed like one he clearly remembered from his own wedding.  I’ve included both below.  Aren’t photographs fun?

I especially like this “riding into the sunset in a Cadillac” shot.  Awesome.
