I was sitting on the couch last night, when all of a sudden, it occurred to me that I am getting married.
I said to Chris, “Oh my God, we’re getting married.”
“I know,” he said.
“We’re getting married. We’re gonna be together, like, forever,” I said.
“Well yeah!” (He seemed slightly put-off.)
I have known I wanted to marry Chris since about two weeks into the deal. I obviously said yes when he asked me to marry him. I’ve been planning a wedding for about three months now. And yet last night, I was completely surprised at the thought of it!
I figured if I had this “epiphany” about marriage, then pregnant women probably have that same thought about having a kid. So at Jen’s baby shower today, I asked Michelle’s sister Rachelle (who is also prego) and Jen if they’ve had a moment where they were like, “Oh my God, I’m pregnant.” And they said they have 🙂 Rachelle said she thought, “I’m gonna be a mother forever.” And Jen said she thought, “One day, I’m gonna introduce someone to ‘my son.’ One day he’ll be 30!” Haha, I think life can be kind of funny in this way. Here you are, going along and planning a wedding or carrying another person inside you for goodness sakes, and you all of a sudden realize, “I’m getting married” or “I’m pregnant.” Well DUH!
I wonder what Chris and I will be like when we’re 44 years old. Or rather, when I’m 44 and he’s 46 (or 45, since he forgets how old he is 😉 ACK! I wonder what we’ll look like?! Will we still have the same mannerisms? Facial expressions? I don’t know! And I’m so excited to find out!
Oh yes, I remember having one of those moments FOR SURE- but it didn’t come for me until after the wedding! I was like, “Wait… We’re MARRIED!??!” hehe.
And Bam and Poppa have those moments still–Where did the time go? How did we get so “mature” when we feel so young? And the Biggie–Do you realize we’re in our 50th year together and will be celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary next year?
Enjoy your moments and your love.
