2007-07-04 The Final Countdown
It’s hard to keep up. Most of this blogging has wound down. But here it is, 4th of July, and I have the time as the block celebrated yesterday. Good thing too as this gave us more time. As we wondered back in the house around midnight, we knew the early celebration was a good thing. True to the Court, it wasn’t disappointing. Whenever we get together, it reminds us why we live on this block.
So much has happened, but most importantly, the wedding countdown is at a week until we leave for Las Vegas. After a year and half wait, it’s the final countdown. We’re so excited to see family and friends we haven’t seen in awhile. We’re excited to meet more people that are Nick, Ashley and The Hattaway’s family and fiends as well.
Today is bittersweet as well. For other reasons, but also that Claudio would have been 48 today. It’s such a waste that he didn’t see the day. That we will never see and hear his silly antics is hard to believe. It reminds me of others that we’ve lost. It makes me sad, as well as nostalgic. I’ll stop here and simply wish everyone a happy holiday. Looking forward to seeing all of you in Vegas!
