What a day!
January 24 is the date of our canton’s independence from the Bernese (that is, the kind folks from the Canton of Bern). Unfortunately, it’s still a work day.
Today, Son 2 and daughter (along with 221 others) made the solemn promise to uphold the constitution of Switzerland and of the Canton of Vaud. They now have dual nationality and love both of their countries.

This morning, I woke up married for half my life. (Wife must wait another 11 months till she reaches that blessed date.)
Good reasons to celebrate… So we will have some friends over, eat some fondue and enjoy the blessings that God has given to us on this day. And who knows what good things tomorrow will bring?

Congrats! Your announcement made me calculate how old I’ll be when I’ve been married half my life. Can you believe it will be at 34?
Blessings to your family!

Never thought about being married half my life, but it takes too much math and I think I’m too far into it by now. Enjoy the celebrations!

Don’t forget the onion rings!

That’s a great accomplishment…one I won’t achieve until I’m 70! Congrats!
