We attended a vow renewal ceremony for our friends Livio and Alex at the Abernathy Gardens. What I enjoy most about weddings is seeing how two people commit to each other and confess their love publicly. It is a moment when I also pause to think of the vows I made five years ago.
I didn’t fully comprehend the significance of the promise made on that day until my wedding rehearsal. I was surprised that I was getting choked up looking at Jennilyn as we stood at the altar practicing our vows.
She thought I wasn’t looking at her in the eye because I was distracted by people in the sanctuary, but in reality, I was trying to hide that I was so happy that I was crying.
Jenni and I have been taking turns going to church so that the other could watch the girls at home. I won’t go into the details for that decision, but today, after I got home from church, I took the girls out on a walk to the MAX station. When we arrived, I got the grand idea of riding the train, and walking the girls to church to surprise Jenni. It was the beginning of a fun day.
Sometimes I wonder if Violet has a nano-sized phone microphone chip implanted on her left thumb and her right arm is her antenna and ear piece.
That’s Jack and me with his copy of StarCraft from Gamestop’s midnight launch. Yeah, midnight. And I’m thirty one years old. God bless Jack for his undying inner child and our mutual fondness, respect, and history with StarCraft.
