Catching up session 101 circa Spring '07

OMG! This is awfully hard. Can't believe that I have a lot of catching up to do. So, I guess I have to do this in several parts. March of '07 when JP moved in with me. Gone are my ear days. My cerebrum is doing it's funny work out in that entire month. We made plans of getting married, and It scares the shit out of me. I am so prone to relationship failure. I was afraid that it'll go wrong (again!!!)and I would end up having another rendevouz with happy pills. I notified my closest friends and some kababayan that we are planning to have a simple wedding somewhere in Decatur, TX on April. Then, we kinda change our mind that we will do it in a hush hush way via VIVA LAS VEGAS STYLE. But then....I don't want a speedy melancholic wedding. I want a simple memory-filled-last a lifetime nup that will last even if I develop an alzheimer memory path. And so it happened. I called up my friend/neighbor (a couple whom I worked with) the day before and told them to meet us up in Arlington. At exactly 10 am, the day of our Lord, 23rd of March 2007, me & JP held our hands together, and in front of the Justice of Peace of Arlington Linda Davis, we said our vows. Unbelievably, she kept the entire ceremony solemn and intimate. JP and I were shaking and teary-eyed. (Literally, I felt my hands were submerged in a freezing water). Even the only couple that we invited to witness our special event were grinning and teary at the same time. After the ceremony, pictures had been taken and we had a memorable lunch at Macaroni Grill with our friends. Today, 1 ½ years later, I still experience that "flutter-fib" excited feeling. It is the same feeling that you felt the first day that you have a date with your biggest crush in the entire world. And everytime I would look at him, I am still awed in disbelief.
