Our Sweet 16

On Friday, Mr. Siegel and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary! Yay!

We grabbed our trusty sidekick The Ev, and headed down to Sherman Oaks for dinner at Mr. Cecil's Rib Joint. Mainly cuz it had an attractive kids' menu. And indeed, Ev selected the kids' giant beef rib, and ate the whole thing!

After dinner, we bopped across the street to Freakbeat Records. What an awesome store! Fantastic selection of stuff! Plus they give our friend Davie his own section. A sign of an excellent record store. ;-)

Oh -- and that Donny Most album pictured below? Bri got it. ;-)

Back to the Scene of the Crime!

We just returned from a couple days in Vegas! Couldn't resist stopping in at the chapel where we were wed, all those years ago... Please enjoy these "before" and "after" pix!

Anniversary!

Fifteen years ago today, Mr. Siegel and I were wed in beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada.



And today, he had these beautimous flowers delivered to my work.

Thank you, Mr. Siegel. I *lurrrve* you. xoxoxoxoxo

Here's Why I Love The Internet, Part 2:

I thought I would share just a couple more photos that my cousin John sent me (see previous post for background on this story). This first one is my Uncle Jack on his wedding day with Aunt Agnes. (Cousin John is their son. I know this is confusing; stay with me, people!) The second photo is my Aunt Agnes with, yes, the Lord Voldemort of the Weber clan, my grandfather, the one and only George Byron Weber, Ladies and Gentlemen! This is the fella who dropped all the kids off at the orphanage back in 1938 after my grandmother passed away. It's totally bizarre to actually see what he looked like after all this time! Not what I would have expected, but most of my family are strapping Irishmen, and this fella is... not. BWAHHAAHHAHAH! My dad used to call him the Filthy Kraut.

Ahhhhh... Family!
