September 15

The 15th of September is the day that Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy (2008), US Forces landed in Incheon, Korea (1950), and the first spacecraft that flew around the moon and returned to Earth was launched (the Zond 5 in 1968). Prince Harry of Wales was born (1984) and several other important and not so important things happened.

For me, though, 15 September 2009 was more than just another day. Though never making the news, it marks adding to my family:
171 days previous, I married the love of my life, and 171 days hence is the due date for our first child.
