Anticipation

The invitations have been mailed. The registry is complete. The dress is hanging in the closet. The food has been chosen and the rings have been purchased. In nine days, I will walk down the aisle and pledge my life to the man that I love in front of all (well, most) of our loved ones. I've done almost everything there is to do to prepare, and so now I have the time and mental capacity to revel in what is to become.

Our life will begin with the anticipation of a rich and happy future, and I am elated. I'm certainly not oblivious to the reality of hard times, because we've already weathered many, but the commitment that will be read during our vows - "in good times AND IN BAD" makes all the difference in the world.

I cannot wait to proclaim my love and fidelity. I can't wait to put on that dress.

And let's face it....I CAN'T WAIT TO DANCE!!!!

And P.S. - he finally got the tattoo!!!
