The real deal

Ten years ago my alarm went off before the sun rose. It was unnecessary. I had been awake for hours.

Ten years ago I had my hair curled all fancy and applied two coats of waterproof mascara to my blond lashes.

Ten years ago I cinched up a pretty white dress, took a deep breath and walked out into the warm New Mexico sun.

Ten years ago I walked down a grassy aisle with a dad on one arm and a father on the other.

Ten years ago I stood across from the most incredible man I'd ever met and promised to love him always.

Ten years later I still do.

Ten years ago I had your wedding invitation on my fridge, and was bummed that I couldn't attend.

Happy #10! Here's to 100 more (as I lift my cheese stick in a toast).
