Wedding dreams

Last night I had a dream that we forgot to get a DJ.  I dreamt that someone found a boombox and an old tape, and we walked down the aisle to  Aerosmith's "Love in an Elevator."  I also dreamt that we forgot to order flowers, and that people got the dates mixed up and my favorite friends were not there.  Also, I dreamt that I forgot to write my vows and had no idea what I was going to say...

And, I still have 7 months to go!

Guess what?

I've been waiting for the right time to share this with everyone.  A few months ago Mr. C and I discovered we are going to  have a baby!  Phew, what a whirlwind of emotions these past 4 months have been.  If you noticed me turning down a perfectly delicious glass of wine, or eating just about every two hours, or saw me go to the bathroom like a million times in a day...or realized that I didn't drink at all at my Bachelorette party or wedding, then this should explain everything. So many life changes at once, and I'm feeling incredibly blessed and shocked and thankful and lucky.  I'm what doctors call "advanced maternal age" and was pretty freaked out for years that I couldn't have kids anymore.  I went through a rough spot about 2 years ago ( just before meeting Mr. C ) where I realized that my life was out of my control, and wondered about the choices I've made and if I'd only done things differently my life would be where I w...

To Nerina, with love

Dear Nerina, I want to take this time to tell you how much you have meant to me these past (almost) 15 years.   Knowing you has been a gift that I will cherish forever.  It seems you came into my life knowing that I needed you alongside me - guiding me, supporting me, giving me love and loyalty, showing me strength and compassion, and just being a true companion each and every day.  From the beginning, I knew we were meant to be together, and that you chose me as your life partner... Sunday, April 14, 1996 - the eve of your arrival -  I had just returned from living in Ann Arbor for 2 years, studying and living in an incredible place.  I remember being pretty depressed after finding out that I couldn't move out of my parents house and my partner decided not to follow me to Arizona.  My depression kept me in bed for days, not able to eat, with no energy.  That afternoon, I remember looking in the classified ads for puppies.  I though...

One month ago...

One month ago today Mr. C and I tied the knot!  So exciting that I call him my husband and he, my wife.  It's been a fun month and we still say we're on our honeymoon.  I get this feeling of bliss and giddyness when I'm around him, makes me feel like a schoolgirl sometimes. This is how a conversation went when I told a co-worker that today is our month anniversary: Me:  Today Mr. C and I have been married one month! Her:  Really?  That's sweet.  I've been married for 28 years. Me:  Awww...do you still love seeing him every day and being together? Her:  Sometimes. Then, the whole room of older, married ladies burst into laughter.  It was like an inside joke that I'm not in on, yet.  I hope that in 28 years he'll still smile when I walk into the room, or I'll still race home just to feel his arms hug me and welcome me home.
