This is my favorite picture from our trip to Colorado. Brent's parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and everyone came out to celebrate with them. I met some of the people that Brent knew as a teenager. One of the best treats was to have a few moments to visit with Brent's best friend in high school and his best man at our wedding--Don. Lauren and Meg, Anton and Jonathan were there. I tend to dread being with big groups of people--even people who I love very much--but it was a wonderful time. I turned 50 years old the day before the anniversary. It is strange to remember that I was born before Brent's parents were even married. Better to remember that he was born, grew up, and was smart enough--kind enough--to pick me to marry.
