Getting Older - Blah!

Two weeks after we moved to Pensacola. Now our children are the ages we were here. Aging!

15 years later 2004 at Rachel and Howard's wedding - - - Trying to age gracefully - - Yikes

Taken in Puerto Rico in 2000 when Dean was named Employee of the Quarter for Southeast region. Ten years later we are aged by 1/5 of a lifetime and the wrinkles show it and the years are flying now!!!! Someone turn off the time machine please! See profile picture to the right for our most recent photo. I wonder what we'll look like in 5 years and 10 years. Even my gums look younger in this picture than they do now. "Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be. " It's true. We are much less stressed than we were 10 years ago. Not that life is less stressful but we are better at handling it. Ahhh, Experience! What a gift! We look calm in this photo but this evening was very stressful for Dean and so it was for me too. Fun but Stressed!

The thing I remember about this evening was that we were sitting next to one of the senior VP's of Dean's company who was killed 4 months later on the plane that flew into the Pentagon during the 911 hijackings. He was so handsome and kind and friendly and made us feel completely comfortable. He had a beautiful wife and children. We were so impressed by him and enjoyed visiting with him at this dinner and then a few months later he was taken at the hands of very bad men.
