A random assortment of things that happened in 2001
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009
It’s been a bit too quiet around here lately. So, how about a timely trip down memory lane?
In 2001….
- George Bush officially became the 43rd president.
- Dale Earnhardt crashed and died on the last lap of the 43rd Daytona 500 (Coincidence? I think not).
- The Baltimore Ravens won their very first Super Bowl.
- I started a new career, leaving behind my beloved Half Price Books store.
- The World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists.
- Microsoft released Windows XP to the world.
- We bought a house! (That we would now desperately like to move out of.)
Yikes. 2001 wasn’t a very good year, was it?
Well, at least one thing happened that was a bright shining light in 2001. I married my best friend, Amanda. And we have spent the past eight years taunting each other mercilessly for being so short-sighted.
Happy anniversary, my dear! I love you.

2001, anniversary, family
My awesome family at Mahoney State Park this past summer. From L to R: me; my oldest son, Caleb; baby Harlyn peeking out from behind mommy's shoulder; my wife, Amanda; my son Alex.
Geez, its hard to believe all that happened in the same year. The gap of time between when we were married and Sept/Oct seems so great because so much changed. But there’s no turning back now, we made it past the 7-year itch, your stuck with me until one of us dies. =)
