an anniversary of everything

Happy one-year anniversary to Nenie and Nena, the single most amazing couple I have ever known in my life. Little did I know, nearly ten years ago when Nenie and I met, that not only would I be gaining a brutha from anutha mutha but ALSO a sista from anutha mista. ;) I love the two of you more and more every day, and I can not WAIT until I see you again.

Here are all my pictures from that incredible weekend (in backwards order, apparently. Oops!)…

…and here are some highlights.

Few times in my life have I felt so surrounded by warmth and love - although Bill’s wedding came close. Of course, this happened on the way home, and all the love I’d stored up all weekend was going to be necessary in order to get me through the next few days. However, when I remember that week now, I feel very strongly that everything happened in exactly the way that it needed to. If I hadn’t been so full of GOOD, the following BAD would have pretty much killed me. And the BAD, over time, ended up being okay. As a matter of fact, I feel like a damn lucky person to have had Crave in my life all this time. It’s the anniversary of a lot of things this week - a lot of things that made all of us who we are today.

I think we turned out pretty damn great.
