I don't know how it could have happened. I mean the numbers simply don't add up. If I'm 31 years old, how can we just have celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary??? It's a mystery to me!!
But that is what the calendar is telling us. On March 20th, 1987 Adam and I were married in Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church in Fort Nelson. It was a very cold and wintery day with about three feet of snow on the ground. And we were so young...I was the same age that Larissa is now!
We didn't feel the need to mark the day with a lot of fuss but you can't let a milestone like this pass unnoticed. So, I got our neighbours, Peggy and Ed to make us up a picnic lunch with all the fixins! Peggy and Ed are about the best cooks that I know. They really make food special and it felt right to cater such an important event for us! So the morning of our anniversary we jumped in the truck, picked up our gourmet picnic and headed to the hills....the Rio On Falls.

Adam and I hadn't been to the falls yet so this seemed like a good excuse. After about two really bumpy hours in the truck (Man...Belize needs to do something about the roads!!!!) we made the short hike into the falls. We hauled in a couple of coolers, backpacks and of course, beer and the obligatory bottle of champagne. Many thanks to Larissa for the champagne. She brought it with her when she visited in February and we saved it for this day. And it was the real stuff...not that fake sparkling wine...oh no...only the best for her sophisticated parents! Don't we look sophisticated in the picture? Plastic cups and all?
