A rerun.
First posted on the original Accidental Jedi blog, January 1, 2004:
Leap of Faith
Tomorrow I’m going to do something I would have considered myself absolutely insane for doing a year ago. I don’t mean eccentric-like-your-great-aunt-Rosie insane, either; I mean lock-you-up-you’re-a-danger-to-self-and-others insane. Hell, when I started this little blogaventure last March, I’d have committed myself if I was planning to do what I’m now planning to do.
Y’all know where this is going, don’t you?
Jay and I have been planning all along to go to Vegas, because it’s close and he’s never been there and with any weather luck we can go to the Grand Canyon the next day before hurrying home in that end-of-vacation panic that always seems to grip one the last day or two of said vacation.
Convenient location to be heading for, as it turns out.
I’m doing something tomorrow that I never in my wildest dreams imagined I’d do: I’m getting married. And not only am I getting married, but I’m marrying a man who for years I believed didn’t--couldn’t--exist. I never expected to meet someone who fits with me so perfectly that it feels like we’ve known each other for several lifetimes. I never expected to find someone who would laugh at my bullshit and cry at my jokes and hold me when I need him and let me hold him when he needs me, who knows the importance of good thick socks and the power of a hug.
He’s my best friend, my lover, and the light of my life, and I’m a very lucky girl.
As I’ve said before, I’m not going to let this one get away. So I told him that of course I would marry him, and I’m spiriting him off to Vegas before he can come to his senses.
Wish us luck, ‘eh?
I remember that post VERY WELL.
What a wonderful year, huh?
