What a difference a year makes...

So, about a year ago David Raynes and I went to Gettysburg for the weekend and toured the sites and hung out with my parents and brother and much of the 48th Assault Helicopter Company for my father's reunion and had lunch with a couple that are old friends of Dave's. It was pretty great.

In my family, this is a romantic picture. We're odd.

…Then we went home and decided we wanted to get married, just about a week short of the anniversary of our meeting for the first time.

We got the ring in December, 

but I like this picture.

"Official" engagement picture.

...Now he's my husband, and at a new job (working in Ireland this week) and I'm I'm a stepmother (!?!) of twins and at my new job so yes, last year of my life has been crazy and amazing and I will be picking him up from the airport on Saturday, which is the anniversary of the day we first met.
