Cinco de Mayo

Nine years ago tonight, my roommates and I threw a Cinco de Mayo party at our cute little apartment.

(We liked to do that sort of thing.)

My bff Mike was, of course, in attendance.

After months of being wishy washy about it, by the end of the night, we decided to officially be an item...in secret.

(People in singles wards like to do that sort of thing.)

Eventually, we came out of the closet and got married four months later.

Happy Cinco de Mayo. For some, the celebration of the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862 (credit Wikipedia).

For me and mine, the start of a crazy, unexpected, awesome journey.

Salud!
