Twenty years ago tonight, I had a house full of people and a new puppy who was doing unspeakable things on my kitchen floor.  I had to summon my fiancé to my house to come and whisk this puppy away to the after-hours vet...in the middle of the night...

That was the night before our wedding.
It was Giardia.
The night before our wedding.

This is the puppy...and the fiance:

If you buy what Walt Disney is selling, all happy endings start with a bit of a challenge, a few bumps in the road, a couple of catchy tunes, and hilarious mishaps along the way.  Sure, we've had our bumps, but I'm now at a point in my life where I've been with that puppy-toting hero of mine longer than I'd been without him, and it's a good place to be.

Feels weird to say I've been married for twenty years...seemed so far away that night before our wedding.  It has all gone by way too fast. 

Twenty years ago tomorrow was a great day...

 and I wouldn't have changed a thing along the way...
