30 years ago on Beethoven's birthday...

GW and I were married in a chapel on the campus of Indiana University, just across the road from the chemistry building where we were both grad students. Our honeymoon consisted of driving her car back to Boston, towing a U-Haul with all her belongings. I hadn't been working long enough to accumulate much vacation time. It hasn't all been fun and games, but the positives far outweigh the negatives. I don't know what I'd do without her, and I can't imagine being with anyone else.
Two kids, two dogs and several guinea pigs, fish and cats later, we will be alone for Christmas for the first time since HS was born (or conceived, actually; he was plenty active in utero during the holidays three weeks before he arrived officially.). Our present two kitties will be sleeping off their catnip and canned food jag. It will be quiet. The real celebration occurs on the 27th, when the HC come for a week's visit.
