What's in a name?

Three years before Christopher and I were married he got a job in and moved to Vermont (VT). Five months before our scheduled wedding(May 4, 1996), I moved up to that more-beautiful-than-a-post-card state. Three days past our celebrated First anniversary, Wesley Hugh Graham was born in Fletcher Allen Health Care. Twenty-two months later Calvin Russell joined the growing Graham family. It is in Vermont we had our first email account so "VTGrahams" made sense. That's the story behind our screen name and it is used for everything we register.
Unfortunately, we were not to stay in Vermont much longer and headed to Texas to attend Seminary. Lelia Elaine, our sweet Yellow Rose of Texas was born at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas in August of 2000. Although we now have some roots here in the Lone Star State, keeping the "VT" helps me feel connected to the many memories I have of Vermont.

I don't really think you all as Texans anyway - might as well think of you all as Vermonians. ;-)
