Happy Birthday to my absolutely amazing, stunning, beautiful, gorgeous, hilarious, smart, creative, sharp, strong and caring best friend and wife Alene Alene Schultz Murphy
The moment I saw and met you in fall of 1996, it became clear to me, I was meant to chase you wherever you went bc I am so in love with you and fascinated by what you’ll say next! To know Alene is to know where she stands, bc she can’t hold back, which I was envious of bc it took me days to verbalize feelings at times and she can know and share her feelings and thoughts so eloquently and quick! I love you and our kiddos are so lucky to have you in our lives. Happy birthday my amazing Libra!
Second photo is one week after we met, I didn’t leave you alone, and I never will. I snapped this selfie with a 110 film cartridge camera and was wearing my Papa’s vintage fedora.
One week after meeting. fall 96. I had a party at my parents house for Halloween week.
One year after meeting, my second Halloween party.
This was a few weeks after we met and she invited me and my friends to camp with her at Carpenteria. I still remember that vintage Hawaiian shirt had a missing button so I used a safety pin to hold it closed on the bottom.
Somewhere in the Old West. Haha. Vegas for a baseball tournament.
