Seven years ago today we were standing in this same place saying our "I Do's..." Now we're back with a nine month old, only this time, no tacky cake or candles that refuse to burn. Also, today, everyone was sober.
When I told our neighbor that we'd been married 7 years today, he yelled back across his yard, "That's 49 in dog years!" This is the same neighbor whose grandson called 911 last weekend. The four year old had been learning about 911 and emergencies at school and decided to call in his own dire emergency when his dad went into the yard to mow. When his dad came back in, the phone was ringing and when he answered, the local police told him that the 4 year old had called. When asked about this, the 4 year old responded, "I had an emergency. I couldn't find my Pez dispenser and the cops didn't know where it was either." The police, after they finished their cackling laughter, asked that the 4 year old receive some explanation as to what constitutes an actual emergency, and that while Pez dispensers were funny, they were not on that list. The cops also said that they would be telling that story over and over for many months to come...
