My Valerie Top 5:
1) We speak the same language (I am not referring to English).
2) She knows how to love people well!
3) She is supportive and yet brave enough to tell you when you're making a bad choice.
4) She is tough, but very sweet about it (usually ;))
5) She is so much fun and "they just don't mak'em like that" too often!!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DEAR FRIENDS!!! (It's still one of my most favorite wedding receptions! Those Arnold/Samson boys can dance!)

Top 5 reasons why I love Bill & Val:
1.) They live in NJ
1.) Without them, we wouldn’t have met Liam.
3.) They make everything fun!
4.) Their demonstration of unconditional love toward each other, Liam and everyone else they meet is inspiring.
5.) The only people I can think of who don’t wanna kill you when you’re knocking on their bedroom door with a slight emergency at 4 am during their “Honeymoon”!

Jennie....you are sweet!

Oh congratulations you guys! We miss you here in Pasadena. Erin had a Poncho-like meltdown yesterday in Bed Bath and Beyond, evidently. Boston seems to be getting the best of her. I think we need the calming presence of Val - one of my top 5 things I love about Val. Everything is going to be okay when she's around. Love you!

Hey Guys,
Just got back from the shore. Took Jan and the kids down for one last "hurrah" before school starts. (It's the most wonderful time of the year - typed in my best Perry Como. The kids really hate when I sing this at the start of the school year. Not sure if it's the song itself or my voice.). Anyway just wanted to say happy anniversary to a great couple. Hope all is well and welcome back to NJ .... the right coast.

I don't know how I got here, wow! Anyway, happy anniversary.

August 15? What a great day to get married! Except it was 104F (in So Cal) that day when I wed my beautiful bride. :P
8 years? I guess that you're no longer newlyweds, but may your wonderment of the love that you share always be new!
Blessings!
