August 31, 2012

I have been thinking lately how it seems so very long until the day I finally say "I do" to the love of my life and a world of dreams comes true.  I was "encouraging" him to agree to a sooner rather than later date, but he is determined that August 31, 2012 is the day we will wed.  He says it is a miracle, a gift that few people find that we are here together now and we should honor it as such.  It should be the most perfect day of our lives.  I can't disagree.  What could be better than marrying this man on the same date we found each other again after all those years of wandering lonely?  And...it is a BLUE MOON!!!  That in and of itself will make it extra spectacular!  We met so many years ago and now here we are a little over 400 days til we get married.  That is the biggest and most precious gift of all.  I'd marry that man any day, anywhere.  Then I realized how fast this past year with him in my life has flown by...so fast, faster than I even imagined possible.  Days for me used to really drag by, I didn't look forward to new mornings.  I didn't look forward to anything.  The unhappier I was the slower the time passed.  Now I am unbelievably happy and I cannot see how it is possible that it has been almost a year already.  So it occurred to me finally, that although it seems like a lifetime away...August 31, 2012, will be here before I know it and I won't regret having waited for a day that is so special for us both in so many ways.  Some things are worth waiting for, believe me, I know.  I waited a very long time for one very special man and he is absolutely worth the wait.  Our wedding will be too!  I am sooooo excited!  Once in a blue moon...rare and beautiful.  Yes, that will be our wedding day...August 31, 2012!!!
