A Year to Remember

 I thought today would be a good day to add a chapter to the story of my life. I don't even know where to begin.  John and I got married in a beautiful cabin with stunning views of the Continental Divide.  Our original plan was canceled due to the pandemic, but that's okay.  We had a wedding so pure and wonderful that I'm not sure it could have been any better.  The trees were their greenest, the sun was shining, the wind was blowing my beautiful handmade veil.  It was a day to remember. I wouldn't change a thing.  I leaped into John's arm when I first got to kiss him as Mrs. Dobbs.

Although my new firm is in Wyoming, I mostly work from home in our cute little apartment.  We have two cats now, Lani and Lulu.  Lulu has surgery this week to remove all of her teeth - so I've been a nervous wreck.  I love her to the sun, the moon, the other galaxies far beyond ours.  My poor little sweet sugarbaby.

John and I are very close to purchasing our first home and it's more than I could have dreamed of.  I grew up in a home busting at the seams with love, but it wasn't a home that I could look at and love for any other reason than the family and memories within it.  My parents worked hard for that home but they had very, very humble beginnings.  I'm proud of what they were able to provide, but I wanted more for my future.  This beautiful little home we are trying to close on is more than I could have ever asked for as a child, and maybe one day we'll have our own cutie pie sitting in front of the fireplace waiting for Santa with us.  We shall see.  If it's not in the stars and the purchase falls through for things out of our hands, I am going to gracefully accept that and understand that it's not what the universe has in store for us.

I'm going to be honest - life is simply wonderful.  I'm in love with my husband, I love our beautiful little fur family, I love the state of Colorado and all that it has to offer.  I can't complain about anything. I'm grateful for each day I get to spend on this pretty planet, even when pandemics are keeping us locked up tight or with a mask on.
