Today is my Aunt Angie and Uncle Tommy's wedding anniversary.

It's my UT's first one without AA being here on earth, physically.

I like to believe that AA is still here. That we just can't see her. That she is sitting with a mocha, taking it all in.

Uncle Tommy gave her the most beautiful family. And I think that is the most beautiful gift a guy can give a gal. The gift of family is one that lives on. No other gift can do that.

When I saw my uncle at my wedding, I could AA missing from his eyes, but what I felt coming from his heart overcame me. She's there. He holds her in his heart.

Happy Anniversary Aunt Angie and Uncle Tommy.

With every decision I make, every choice I take, I am not alone.

And that makes all the difference.

Taco was the highlight of our wedding. He was the ring bearer, and the cutest one at that.

I took this picture two days before the wedding, in Woodstock.

Tom and I didn't go on a "real" honeymoon. We instead spent a few days before and a few days after the wedding, in Woodstock.

We stayed in the most beautiful renovated barn on a lake, and it was just perfect. Now, normally people don't take their kids with them on their honeymoon. But, we did. Taco and Charlie took the ride to Woodstock with us...and stayed in the cabin too.

Why? Because we felt they should be part of our wedding story, as they are a huge part of our life.

Tom always said, where there is two, there is four. Now he says, where there is two there is five(since Phoebe). And it's true.



I feel lucky to be part of this unique, furry family.

I love hiding behind my camera. It let's me see the world close up, while I get to be out of focus.

Stop for a minute. Breathe, listen, talk, don't talk, whatever...but please stop for just one minute. Take it all in.

He thanks me for having patience while he goes back to school and I just smile, because I am thankful for the gift of feeling proud of him, alot.
