A New Chapter

Life. It can change in the matter of seconds. One last, desperate, love-filled email sent. A final attempt at salvaging a love you can't handle losing. A plane trip out to Thunder Bay. The ultimate gesture. The ultimate question.

It all changes in the matter of seconds, even though God had it in the works for thousands of years.

I give myself one week. Then reality will kick in. Things will not seem so sureal. And I will realize...

I am going to be spending the rest of my life with someone who:
a) not only knows what WOW stands for...but subscribes to it--monthly.
b) can make a wookie noise for absolutely every emotion known to man: love, hate, fear, sadness, confusion...
c) will inadvertantly mould me into a pastor's wife...
...okay, not so inadvertently. I was warned.
d) plays D&D
e) plays Axis and Allies (did I spell that right?)
f) uses the public washroom facilities in guys' dorm when I am in there!
g) has really big eyes
h) makes me laugh

I know this. I admit all of this. And I honestly could not be any happier.
Lauren, Krysta, Amanda...you were all right. I've spent the last few months in denial.

You know what the best part was? I called Dad to tell him...all I had to say was, "Dad I have something to tell you," and he was already asking for a date so he could book time off of work. Apparently he saw this coming for a lot longer than anyone else did. And apparently he really really really loves Vincent.

I have never been so excited in my entire life. I can't even sleep. I just wish a couple of you concordia folk were down here so I could give you all big hugs and jump up and down...boo urns.
January 12th! Krysta knows what that means...
