Happy Fifth Anniversary Sandy and Dave

In the holiday movie The Family Man, Nicolas Cage plays Jack Campbell a rich, single Wall Street hot-shot who thinks he has everything he needs, but an angel gives him a glimpse of a parallel universe where he married his college sweetheart, settled down in the suburbs with children and worked an ordinary job. Living just a few weeks in this new life, he discovers the real happiness and unconditional love missing from his old life. I used to wonder where my career would be now if I’d gone to Tulsa in 1997 or Houston in 1998 or 2000 or Salt Lake City in 2002, or where my life would have been had I not returned Sandy’s e-mail in 2003. Luckily for me, God’s guardian angel guided me to a path away from my own where I found the most wonderful wife imaginable and two beautiful boys. Thank you, Sandy, for making me a family man.
