We put 250 napkins in the mail to writers from all over the country — some with a half dozen books to their name, others just finishing their first. In return, we got nearly a hundred stories.

Just as I pulled up to the house today, I noticed the odometer had just hit 19,999. It seems like I just picked Pepe up a couple of months ago, not a couple of years ago. I’ve been thinking all night about how much my life has changed in the last 745 days:
1. I saved the world from the horror known as ‘Creed’.
2. I turned 30 years old.
3. My baby got accepted to Grad School.
4. We moved to Colorado.
5. I was hired and subsequently laid off by a local property management company, which led me to find a GREAT job.
6 There is no 6.
7. My honeysweetiepielovemuffin turned 30.
8. I forgot what 8 was for.
9. I got married to a woman I both love and adore. And taunt. Next to the birth of my future children, and when I finally get the animatronic-coin-operated-Kimberly-poking-you-in-the-eye complete, this will be the happiest day of my life.
10. We added a fourth cat to the mix. I don’t know what it is about her, but Chloe just wrecks me, she is so cute.
11. I celebrated my one year wedding anniversary.
12. I watched my wife present her Master’s Project.
13. I watched as my lovely wife graduated from Grad School. And cried.
14. I drove my baby to the airport so that she could visit Paris and Switzerland with hermoM. (It’s where the history comes from!)
What an interesting 2 years. I love my life. I love my wife. I love LIFE.

I thought it would be best to have a separate place to talk about it because lord knows after I went on a roll with it yesterday it’s all I could think about. Looking for wedding info online gives a whole new depth to the phrase, “Too Much Information”. Holy cow. So all the links and girlie talk will be over here. I’ve also added it to the “Kimberly Elsewhere” links as “Wedding Jibba Jabba”.
Rita and I will be password protecting the posts about dresses so the man has no idea. Anyone who wants the one password for all those posts can email me and I’ll send it to you.

I suppose it’s not surprising with the impending move and transition to grad school that it never once occurred to me that I could like, start planning my wedding, for reals.
I mean, I suppose I knew that being engaged means planning a wedding and that means doing something other than deciding that lots of booze, not much extended family, and the color purple would be involved. Maybe it’s the part of me that doesn’t want to make a huge production of it that thinks a year in advance is excessive. I don’t know. But the girly side of me squealed when I saw this site. And that’s when it occurred to me that I can legitimately, in a non-creepy non-girlfriend-commitment-stalker kind of way, look at dresses and ceremonies and locations and cakes and frilly wedding type things.

This has been submitted to provide suggestions for my wedding. I have no idea why.
