June is the month of weddings, and ours occurred 33 years ago today!  I cannot believe it has gone by so quickly.  And…tonight is a full moon, on Friday the 13th!  It must be a good omen!  The last few years have been tough ones, but Randy is recovering well from his double lung transplant which occurred 9 months ago, so we are looking forward to better, and healthier, times. If any lesson was learned from the events of the last couple of years, it was a lesson confirming something I already knew:  you never know what can happen, so do the things you want to do, say the things you want to say, and do it and say it NOW.

Now is all you have.

As Ferris Bueller said, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”  

Our first date

We were “set up” on a blind date by friends of my parents, Bob and Dottie Green, who were Randy’s aunt and uncle!  We were such babies, I was 20 and Randy was 23.

Ah, we had the most beautiful and romantic wedding!  We are at 33 years, and we plan to make it to 50, 60, or 70 years!
