Posted by GruntDoc on 7th April 2011

Nice to be noticed, though.

Posted by GruntDoc on 2nd April 2011

Dear Mom and Dad,
thanks for not throttling me when I deserved it, and for letting me find myself. I literally wouldn’t be where I am today without you.

It’s our (your Sons and our families’) pleasure to help celebrate your Marriage.

Happy 50th Aniversary!
