Fifteenth wedding anniversary

Fifteen years ago today, Lorena and I were married at a place called El Tio on Calle Garza Sada in Monterrey, Mexico. It was a great day for us. There were about two hundred fifty people there. Fifty of them were gringos. It was as happy a day as I can remember. Certainly one of the best things I have ever made was to ask Lorena to marry me. God looked out for me in this (and all things). I truly am thankful for my marriage.
