Hard to believe that it was only one year ago that we were stressing about the day's schedule and I was hiding from my sister the fact that the Best Man and another Groomsman were MIA.
Happy 1st Anniversary to my little sister and my brother-in-law! They are kind, loving, beautiful, intelligent, fascinating people individually and, together, they have the amazing quality of being both dynamic and down-to-earth at the same time. Naturally, their wedding was a blast from start to finish. One of the best parties I've been to in some time!
They live in DC, which is hard for all of us sometimes but has also had its benefits. We have all been able to visit that amazing city and see it as tourists and as semi-insiders. My kids are counting the days until they can take solo flights to visit their aunt and uncle. My oldest is hoping to go soon, while my son has targeted 10 years old as his "ready" date. My youngest would go now if I let her. Not a chance.
Speaking of youngest children, my sister is also the youngest in the family. Something about those youngest siblings, especially girls! Check out the picture of her on the altar with her brand new husband. Seems to me, except for the age, you could practically interchange my youngest with my baby sister between the picture in my last post with the altar picture. You could nearly interchange them in real life as well!
Have a wonderful, wonderful day you two! All of us who love you so much at home are thinking of you today and remembering what a lovely day we had last year.

Kimmy,
Thank you for all of your kind words and wedding day secrets! I can't believe a year has come and gone. It was an incredible year. I have to say, after having that year under our belt, I think we can do anything! You would think being with each other for five years, living in three different states together (add two more for him alone), moving in and out of nine different "homes"... you would know all there is to know about someone. Man were we wrong! We have learned so much more about each other in the past year and have grown so much closer.
We are really looking forward to what the next 80 years bring!
Thanks again for all your kind words. We wouldn't be who we are without our family.
Love you,
Eileen
