25 years ago today Diane and I\u00a0 got in a car driven by our good friends Dave and Linda and drove to the round church and richmond\u00a0 and got married….
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was a great day.. lots of family and friends. I remember it so well.. It’s amazing to think of all that’s happened in these past 25 years. I’m happy that we’re still very much in love.. I can’t imagine a better partner for this crazy journey..\u00a0 I love you Diane !<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(and you<\/em> still look the same as you did 25 years ago !!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We celebrated the day as we do most of our anniversary’s .. by taking a good long hike. This time we took one of our favorites.. The long trail back from the Notch Road to our house..
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As we think of all that’s happened.. we think of our freinds. parents and kids.. .. and always bring Sam along. He’s still part of everything we do.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the way down the hill I slipped on wet rocks and cracked my head pretty hard.. I also broke a water botte in my fanny pack, broke my glasses (my only pari) and damaged my phone..\u00a0 but.. that was only stuff. It didn’t spoil the hike..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After we got down, Diane and I drove up to fetch the other car.. on the way down we saw the most beautiful and huge moose.. it was tall and graceful like a horse.. a huge horse.. with antlers.. I had sto hit the brakes to keep from hitting it..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We then drove into town to grab lunch. We stopped by our favorite dining spot.. Bridge street cafe..\u00a0 All of reichmond is still recovering form the fllods.. no one has water.. hence they were workin on a limited but yummy menu.. and paper plates<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They even served us on real plates in honor of our anniversary.. !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Afterwards we went by to help out our freind Aisha who’s house was damaged in the floood. Aisha and her son were in the basement at 3AM Sunday when two of the basement walls collapsed and the river came in.. they go out in time.. but the basement is a wreck !..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We’re goign to go back over there Saturday to help take down their wrecked deck. if you have time to help, let us know..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everywhere, there were dumpsters full of ruined furnishing. fridges, insulation.. it was a mess !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nex tstop was the Round Church.. We go there every Anniversary<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the way home we found the fire department helping folks empty their basements..
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

they sky’s benen full of helicoperts today.. we think they’re heading into soem of the folks still cut off by destroyed roads in central vermont..<\/p>\n

we hear that there are parts of the state you still can’t get to.. and some that won’t have power for weeks !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Late this afternoon we went to Gabe’s first practice soccer game. it was great watching the kids all together again<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We ended the day with a sushi dinner to celibrate our anniverdary.. and the ned of the summer<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

School starts tomorrow for Gabe.. It’s been a fun and adventure filled summer for all of us<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s been a full and adventure filled 25 years for diane and me..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
