It was a cloudy morning fourteen years ago today. I was disappointed. Everyone wants sun on their wedding day and there would almost certainly be rain. This meant that the ceremony would have to be relocated from the pretty garden to the back veranda of our venue. I needn’t have worried so much.

Later I realized that it was silly of me to have spent so much time dwelling on the weather. It did rain, and the ceremony was moved, but it did not put a damper on our day. August 7, 1998 would be one of the happiest days of my life in spite of the overcast skies that appeared that morning. Nine months later there would be another happy day in our lives, but 14 years ago today, this brand new family consisted of just two people:

August 7, 1998

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
