"Normal" Life
Last Friday my husband and I hopped in the car and drove to Lake Tahoe to elope. We had planned this only a few days before and felt like a couple of giddy teenagers as the music blasted and the car curved its way out of state. Man-cub had been gone all week in Wyoming with his grandparents and my husband had the entire week off. We decided a wedding vow renewal was the perfect capper for our week alone. We had arranged to have it officiated and were saying our vows on a cliff overlooking Emerald Bay (a common spot for just such an occasion I’m sure.) It ended up being lovely and my husband even surprised me with a little band of diamonds and sapphires to remember the day. Blue sapphires because I was wearing white and blue (also traditional… “something blue.”) It was an amazing day. So amazing in fact that I’m having a hard time re-adjusting to my “normal” life. It seems like whenever we go crazy and spend a lot of time and/or money together, I just don’t want to stop. Like a junkie searching for a rush, I want every day to be as wonderful. To not think about money, or responsibilities. To eat out at every meal and have “alone time” every night. Sadly, the real world isn’t like that (at least not for me) and I’m finding myself mourning that rush of time and money spent. Does this ever happen to you? Do you have a hard time reigning yourself back in once you’ve let loose? 0 comments from 0 users
