June 11, 1996


Thirteen years ago today was a very special day for me.

Why?

The Colorado Avalanche won their first Stanley Cup! I had watched the first three games (well, I watched the whole playoffs), but couldn't watch this one. I was listening to the radio when Uwe Krupp scored and I had to stop the car I was driving and run around like a crazy man for a few minutes.

That seems like a long time ago.

Debby and I were not married yet. (We were engaged)
I was a youth minister at my home church.
I was driving a 1988 Ford Bronco II.
I was living in an apartment with a friend of mine near the University of Denver.
My little brother had not graduated from high school yet.

A lot has happened in the last thirteen years, no doubt.

That made me think of what I would have been doing
Darrell and I lived in West Carrollton and had a 9 yr old and 7 yr old so we were probably doing swimming lessons and spending all of our free time at the pool. I worked as a floor nurse. I had just started going to church again after 15 yrs and had recently lost my grandfather. My dachshund Pumpkin was less than a yr old...She's now 13 ready to turn 14.
