30 years ago today, Jennifer and I got married. Actually, technically it was yesterday, since it was in New Zealand, but we ignore the time zone differences. It was April 2, 1995.

In October 2000 we sold our NZ house in preparation for moving to the US, and temporarily moved into a small apartment on Prince’s Wharf. We quite enjoyed the downtown lifestyle for those few months. (Our apartment didn’t have a water view, though; it was in the middle of two buildings). #ThrowbackThursday
