I can't believe six months have flown by since I last wrote! Almost two months ago I celebrated my wedding to the love of my life. It still makes me smile when I refer to him as "my husband." I like to look at him when he doesn't know I'm watching and savor the thrilling thought that this amazing person is the man I've chosen to spend my life with - and that he chose me too.
A couple of days ago my niece turned 12 years old. I've seen cousins grow up before my eyes - which is baffling. But it's different to watch my little sister's baby grow up. Just when I've finally accepted the fact that my little sister is all grown up...this happens. The baby face has disappeared and now I look into the eyes of an emerging woman. Absolutely terrifying and exciting!
I've reconnected with one of my favorite friends on, yes, Facebook. The last time I saw her and her baby, the baby was a cooing adorable little bundle. Now he is a beautiful little boy.
It's funny to think about life before Facebook. Time still had the tendency to fly for me. It makes sense that someone would think that since they hadn't heard from me, I must not care anymore. I ended up losing touch with some of the people I loved the most. Now, a quick comment on Facebook or a thumbs-up/like is my way of saying, "I'm still here for you. I think about you and wonder how you are doing. I miss you. I love you."
Time has wings but my memory has the ability to manipulate time. I can travel to the past and relive whatever I want. I can remember my first date with my husband, the first time I held my newborn neice and experienced an indescribable love, and the first moment I realized when I had made a new friend.
