I can’t believe this woman that I went to high school with, hung out with in college, went to a movie with me once in a while after college, has been married to me for 12 years, given birth to two wonderful sons, and made me one of the happiest people on earth.
Martinah, I love you more!
A few weeks ago, we took the boys to Maymont park to play with my new lens. Unfortunately it was drizzling and I didn’t want to risk taking out my camera so we used the point-n-click instead. Of course the sun came out when we were at the farthest point from the car.
After Billy finished soccer camp, he received a couple of tickets to see the Richmond Kicker’s play. I took both boys to the game and had better weather for playing with my new lense.
I finally had the opportunity to go flying with my dad in the new plane that his club recently purchased. It’s a Diamond DA40 with the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit. Unfortunately it was too late to take any decent shots, but here is what I have.
Billy and I went to see the Richmond Kickers play against Bermuda last weekend. We met Matthew (one of Billy’s friends) and his dad, Pete there. Other than 45 minute rain delay, it was a really fun game. Richmond won 4-1.
We love you more!
Around Christmas this year, Billy and I were able to go to a couple of college basketball games. The first game was UVa vs Elon. This was the first time I’ve been to John Paul Jones arena and it was very impressive. The game was fun, but not particularly exciting. Virginia manhandled Elon (as they should have).
The second game we went to was VMI vs the University of Richmond. This game was much more exciting. VMI opened to an early lead which Richmond reduced to 3 point by half time. Richmond took a 10 point lead mid way through the second half that VMI was able to eliminate and take a 1 point lead with 3 minutes left. It came down to the wire with VMI coming up short by 2 by missing a 3 pointer at the buzzer.
For our anniversary this year, we decided to go out of town. Since I coach Billy’s soccer team, one night was all we could spare. After some searching, I ended up choosing a place called Smithfield Station. The place was beautiful. It’s a brand new facility with faux fireplaces in the rooms and balconies that overlook the Pagan river and the marina. We ate dinner out on the pier and I had the best omelette from the omelette bar which was part of the breakfast buffet. After breakfast, we walked around the shops downtown and had a nice chat with a woman who ran the Genuine Smithfield Ham Shoppe. The only problem we ran into was that the hood from my camera was knocked off and fell into the river and sunk out of sight for ever.
