It was nine years ago that the world was first introduced to Twitter.  9 years ago next month, it was decided that Pluto was no longer a planet.  8 years ago we saw the introduction of the first iPhone and 7 years ago Barack Obama was elected President.  6 years ago our eldest monkey was born and the oldest skeleton in the world was found in Ethiopia.  5 years ago there was the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The point in this history lesson is, time flies and yet it doesn’t.  I can barely remember life without the iPhone and I can distinctly remember learning about planets 25 years ago…when Pluto was still a planet.  It’s an interesting fact of life that some things make lasting impressions while others do not. There are some things that sneak up on you and others you plan for your whole life.  I think that’s what makes life so interesting.

I say all of that to say this.  9 years ago today I was lucky enough to marry the love of my life.  We’ve started a beautiful family and are growing some roots in the central Connecticut area.  A lot has changed in 9 years but one thing remains the same, I couldn’t have a better partner in this crazy world than Jenn.
