april 25, 2003
we were dreaming of august
planning our day, planning our lives, planning our life away
the world was our oyster
or at least it would be if either of us acctually liked oysters.
maybe the world was our cappriotti's bobby. yea. that's it.
either way, the world was ours.
we spent every waking moment together, or thinking about being together, or literally driving to or from being together.
when we weren't together, or thinking or literally driving, we were text messaging.
seriously, a lot of text messaging. the national federation of extensive text messangers would be proud.

you: a very cool blue-grey jeep with no doors.
me: a very un-cool silver-grey neon with no automatic door locks.
notes on my very un-cool silver-grey neon when i left for work in the morning...planted by mr.thoughtful at some point in the middle of the night.
shopping for clothes, and shoes and bags and hair highlights on any given day.
back when money flowed like a red martini on white carpet...
we ate, drank and be merry. c
heesecake factory.
chilis. chips and salsa.
maddys with the gang.
dave and busters with stephen. broken machines and winning tickets.
hammocks and moonlight.
dinner and dancing and falling in love.

fixing up our "prefabricated" house at 2048 lenape unionville.
brown, brown and more brown paneling.
dreams, dreams and more dreams of what the future would hold.
looking beyond the brown paneling and seeing what life would be like as husband and wife.
no one could have prepaired us for the next 5 years.
for living chinese, 2 babies on board, 11 diferent houses, and lots of cheese curls.
but each day got us closer, moved our hearts ever closer together, and gave us what we needed to be who we are on april 25, 2008.

sometimes you are being prepaired for the future during your today.
and sometimes you find yourself right where you are, and you love it.
that is me today.
