June 1

Share on:

Five years ago today, AC and I married each other under the warm Virginia sun in one of Thomas Jefferson’s gardens.

Four years ago today, we set off on a 10-day bicycle tour of Western Ireland.

Three years ago today, we dined at Molly’s Pub in Lancaster, PA, and then got caught in a rain storm during our walk home.

Two years ago today, we ate subs from Wibble’s on the back porch of our just-purchased home in Altoona.

One year ago today, AC left for San Francisco to start his new job with Linden Lab. Sam and I stayed behind in Pennsylvania.

If I had known on June 1, 2002 that in five years I would

  1. Move four times
  2. Have a daugher
  3. Quit a tenure-track job
  4. Move to San Francisco and be a stay-at-home-mother

I would have been in shock.

I think I am still am. But I am also quite happy.

Happy Anniversary to us!
