We recently discovered that we live 15min from a great state park. We love the city, but miss the "country", so it is nice to have this park so close. It reminds us a lot of Turkey Run State Park in Indy. Ahhh a little taste of home. We found out that Reggie LOVES the water and Sam, well Sam could probably do without it. He had fun, but not as much fun as Reggie. Going to the Park has become our new favorite thing to do on the weekends!

4th of July

Finally!

We had a great 4th of July. Every year the city of Baltimore does a fireworks show in the Inner Harbor. The past two years we didn't go because, as you can imagine, it is a mad house. However this year we had an invitation from some friends who live in the Federal Hill area, to come down to the harbor and watch the fireworks from Federal Hill. It was amazing. There is so much history in that area. To be there on the fourth of July watching the fireworks and celebrating our Independence was perfect.

"I promise to give you the best of myself and to ask of you no more than you can give.

I promise to accept you the way you are.

I fell in love with you for the qualities, abilities, and outlook on life that you have, and won't try to reshape you in a different image.

I promise to respect you as a person with your own interests, desires, and needs, and to realize that those are sometimes different, but no less important than my own.

I promise to keep myself open to you and to share my innermost fears and feelings, secrets and dreams.

I promise to grow along with you, to be willing to face change as we both change in order to keep our relationship alive and exciting.

And finally, I promise to love you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give and all I feel inside in the only way I know how... completely and forever."
