Today Steve celebrates half a century plus half a decade plus one.
For those of you who are not good at math—like me—he turns fifty-six.

Archives For Nathan
This Saturday is the prom at Sarah’s High School. She hadn’t planned to attend and I really wasn’t all that gung-ho about her going since I’ve heard more than a few wild stories from prom-goers over the years.
Today’s post is a favorite (rewritten and improved) classic from the archives.
November 2008
Yesterday as I was gathering some things to take to a consignment store, I came across some of Sarah’s special dresses–those little velvet, swishy dresses she wore when she was still young enough to be called a little girl.

I had a whole memory card full of pictures which I was planning to write a post around. However, when I put the card in my computer, no pictures emerged. Since I had just looked at the pictures (on my camera) before going to bed last night, I figured that some weird thing had happened overnight and they had erased themselves. So I downloaded Recuva which does a good job of recovering photos that you are think are long gone.

Here’s another one of my favorite posts from the archives written around 2007.
In the course of my job as church secretary, I make a lot of visits to the Post Office. Sometimes the line is short (oh happy day) and other times the line is long. (Oh not so happy day.)
The Chair in its place, getting ready for the 2012 Smith Family Photo.
Today our beloved, funny, serious, crazy, mature, hilarious, sensitive, wild, compassionate son turns twenty- three. (Even though that is biologically impossible since I’m not old enough to have an adult son.)
Here are a few pictures to celebrate the son who made me a mom for the first time and has given me so much joy.
Right now I am working on a post about Snowy’s funeral—a daunting, precious task. I should have it up in the next couple of hours.
In the meantime, Nathan’s blogging mom-in-law, Sheri, just wrote a post a post about Snowy and Nathan that you just have to read. So very, very sweet.

Here are a few miscellaneous pictures Nathan and Snowy together, followed by a few photos of all three of my “kids.”
Welcome To A Special Edition of Smithellaneous As We Celebrate The
One Year Anniversary of Nathan and Meagan Smith
We’ll get things started with a word from the happy couple themselves. I asked them to write down two things that they love most about their spouse after being married for a year. Since they’re currently on a weekend anniversary getaway, I didn’t want their assignment to be too time-consuming; I told them just a couple of sentences would be fine.
I know it’s hard to believe, but Monday will mark Nathan and Meagan’s first wedding anniversary. Since so many wonderful readers avidly followed along with their story throughout their engagement and wedding, I want to invite you to the anniversary celebration.
You may remember the Wedding Wednesday series I did for a few months following their wedding, highlighting various photos and stories. Well, I’ll be bringing that back on Monday except that it will be called . . . well . . . Wedding Monday instead. (For obvious reasons.)
I’ll be featuring some of my absolute favorite photos of them and you will also hear from Nathan and Meagan themselves as each of them shares the two top things they love the most about each other after their first year of marriage.
Don’t miss this special time at Smithellaneous!
Tomorrow morning, Sarah and I will hit the road at 5:30 am and drive five hours to the University of North Carolina in Wilmington. And when we arrive? I will drop her off and she will stay there for a whole week!
