7 years ago today....

Friday, March 12, 2004. Melissa & John were married.
Another of the HAPPIEST days of our life...
(When your KIDS are happy, YOU are happy)

Hard to believe it was seven years ago...

Harry (best man) and Fort & JMac


After the ceremony (which was in City Hall in Blue Ash) they had some fun with pictures. In Fort's scrapbook, her caption on this one is
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH (from a Few Good Men)


Tracy, Stacy, the Bride and Angie (Maid of Honor)



Even though the wedding was low key, we did the traditional cutting of the cake, and the garter...and of course HARRY caught the garter, but Fort was having some fun with it...


Honeymoon chauffeur...Casey James with Fort (going to Savannah for the big Rugby Tournament and to celebrate not only their honeymoon, but St. Patty's Day!)


In the car ready to go on their honeymoon - whooping it up...

CONGRATULATIONS FAIRMONT LADY FIREBIRDS!!!!

FORT would be in HEAVEN....oh...she IS in heaven. If she were HERE she would be in heaven...and I'm pretty sure she was there for the game last night. I didn't go (came home sicker than a dog from work) but Donny did. He called me several times to update, and kept me on the phone for the last 41 seconds with a play by play. It was awesome. We have been faithful followers of the Firebirds ever since Melissa played - way back in the 90s. She LOVED the Firebirds. So we don't stop going. With 5 freshman, 3 sophomores and only losing one senior - I see a some great years ahead.
