It ought to be a holiday...

[hellziggy]

Sometime between today and tomorrow for that 1/4 of a second or so when time stands still it is a very important anniversary for hellbob & I.

February 29, 1996.

Ten years ago we packed all our belongings into a UHaul trailer and escaped from Fargo-Moorhead.
We pretty much didn't have a penny to our name but thanks to my parents we had a place to live here in the Cities and a chance at a fresh start.
The Sharon & Rick of ten years ago would not have ever been able to even dream of owning a house or a new car. They couldn't afford to go to college. And luxuries like Tivo & iPods & laptops weren't even thought about.
We also didn't know most of y'all.

It's not often you can look at one single event and see how much it changed your life. This one changed ours for the better.

So everyone, raise your glasses in a toast, for I declare today to be a holiday!


Today is Fargo Hegira Day!


Hegira ( hiˈjīrə; ˈhejərə ): an exodus or migration. ORIGIN via medieval Latin from Arabic hijra 'departure,' from hijara 'emigrate.'

We are just about to have dinner, and a short toast will be said. We are certainly very very glad we have you in our lives. *hugs* to you both.

Awwww....

What a nice story! Many congratulations!

Because 'the cities' always needs more cool people, I'm glad you're both here and not in Podunk.

Well I, for one, am very very glad you came down here. Not only are you my favorite sister (hehe), but you're a very dear friend. I'm glad you and hellbob got out of the hellhole that is Fargo and set up your own little hellhouse here. Happy FH Day!

Congrats on escaping the hell-hole! :)

And if it's been 10 years since our escape, that means that in one month you will have been hitched to your boy for 10 years!! Why didn't we think of this soon enough to plan a weekend party in Vegas? With hellbob this time!

February must be a good month to escape places and move here. Glad you made it here! Only 3 years before I did....

Yep- coming up on 10 years. I had initial thoughts of repeating the wedding, only be married this time by Elvis, but that didn't come to anything. I'm lazy.

A party in Vegas would be fun though! :)
