One month ago...

...I married the man for whom God created me. I am stunned to realize that it has been a month since we joined our lives before our Father and a small number of our loved ones, and nearly that long since we were last together. Waking up and realizing that was somewhat bitter-sweet for me. Intensely sweet because my amazement that I am married to such a wonderful man is still strong and fresh. A little bitter because we are separated by so much physical distance...

Today actually ended up being a really great day. I worked for a few hours this morning before heading to the dentist. (Ok, so that's not the great part.) After the dentist, I headed up to the adult day care center where I volunteer on Thursdays. I was anxious to get there because I wasn't able to go last week under the crushing weight of my schoolwork.

Once I was there, I was pleased to see many familiar faces and a couple of new ones. My fellow with cerebral palsy was there. I spent most of my time with him today. We played our game of him throwing the tennis ball and me chasing after it. His joy lit up my day! And, he seemed to have improved a little in his ability to throw in my general direction, and I even managed to actually catch the ball a couple of times! Later, I discovered his interest in taking piles of children's puzzles and restacking them. He took great satisfaction in moving each puzzle from one pile to another. We did this for an hour or so, and were still immersed in our activity when his family came to collect him. To my delight, he waved at me when I told him goodbye, which I'm told is a rarity!

To top off my great day, I decided to go to my husband's website as I do on a nearly daily basis and found that he had posted the first set of photos from our wedding day! I had no idea that he had done that...it was a very sweet surprise! It makes me impossibly even more thrilled that I married him one month ago.
