| Ron and Mia Rose |
Ron and I made dinner together {whoo-hoo - that does not happen very often and it was so much fun}; Summer Linguine with fresh corn, fresh tomatoes, and garlic - it was simple, but so good :) We really need to do that more often, right?!
The 31st of August was our - tadahhh - 15 year anniversary. The girls were so curious about it and wanted us to tell them the story about how we met over, and over again. It was quite cute. You know, the big question for them was "How did you meet if you did not grow up in the same country?"; "Mama did you always know English?"; "If you did not know each other, how did you talk with each other?". It was really, really cute...OK, for us it was probably not for most of you :) So we told them, and I will tell all of you as well.
We met in Chicago shortly after both of us moved to the city. Ron from Wisconsin and me, well a little farther, from Germany. Our first date was at the Chicago Blues Fest, and from there on out we were inseparable {little did we know that we also share the same recessive gene for Classic Galactosemia - it was just meant to be :) } . Yup, that is right :) We got married outside on Labor Day weekend at the Cheney Mansion in Oaks Park, on a beautiful hot, late summer day. It was a fun luncheon reception, and let's just say that both of us had a fantastic time. We stayed in Chicago for a few more years, and then in 2002 moved to Portland, Oregon. This is where we are now - 15 great years later, two beautiful girls....
