25 Years

Tomorrow is my parent's 25th wedding anniversary.
Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad!

My parents today...


and on their wedding day.


My parents actually met when they were 17 at science camp.

Yes, I come from a family of geeks (and I love it!).

In honor of their anniversary, we held a big party (a BBQ and crab feast) at our house in July.

Dad grilling away.


The lone crabbers.
Even though we live in Maryland, this was our first foray into the art of the crab feast. Needless to say, the smell was overwhelming, so we banished the crab table to the edge of the yard.


The party gets under way.
It was really interesting to see the Andrews and the Wagners together, which hasn't happened since the wedding.


Part of the Andrews clan.

Grandma Wagner boozing it up.
Some of you may know her as Aggie, mistress of amazing care packages.


Grandpa and Grammy Andrews (George and Clare).


The whole family.
And yes, I am extra-smiley.

It was a great party--something the entire family will always remember. It was wonderful to be healthy and able to enjoy the party as much as everyone else. I even had some wine!

It was a great party! Our first idea was to take a week-long trip for our anniversary. This idea was much better.

Love,
Mom
