Hello to you.
How are things Chez Warner? I am looking out the window during my lunch break and wishing I was on the other side of this glass pane. Driving down to Richmond this morning, I couldn't help but wish that you were in the passenger seat, and we were instead heading further south, as it seemed like a perfect day for a drive to the beach. Perhaps you are sitting by the pool this afternoon wishing that the water before you was really a vast ocean, and that we were laying on a towel, reading side by side.
Its hard not getting to enjoy a care free summer of being outside, and freedom to take quick trips at the drop of a hat. However, we did have a nice day in Wilmington and at Wrightsville Beach, and we have impending trips to New York and Deep Creek. Throw in Artomatic, and some other adventures that I'm sure are to come, and it will end up being another fun summer for the two of us.
The great thing about this summer though is that there is actually something to look forward to at the end of the summer. Instead of dreading a return to work or to school, plus the fading of my tan, the end of this summer will bring on a huge celebration. It is exciting to actually start putting names in of people who will be at our Wedding. For me, that will be the best part, and I also get excited just seeing that you are happy to see who is coming as well.
I hope we can enjoy those aspects, and all the fun things that go with our wedding, and try not to stress too much as the financial repercussions and decisions to be made become overwhelming. Not only do we have Sept. 13 to look forward to, but you have a bridal shower, and bachelorette party, so the next few months should really be a great time in our lives to enjoy the love we have, and this great Fête that will involve our friends and family.
We've made it one year so far, and that is what makes this wedding a little different. We are celebrating not only our future together, but the life we have already started. The joys of having someone to come home to, to read with, to play with, to fall asleep beside. You are the only one I want to share everything with, and thats just what we've done, shared our hearts and lives with each other. This dream became a reality a year ago when you agreed to marry me. Since then we have had our ups and downs for sure, but the future has never looked so promising. As I told you once, 1 down, 80 to go.
Muah!

hello and how are you?
hi there.
i'm sitting here wondering how your work day is so far. mine has not been so bad - i don't have very much room to complain when i get to go out in the backyard to sit by the pool with a book in hand, do i?
the toughest it gets is when the kids start bickering - and that's exactly what they did. andrew is over, too. it wasn't terrible, but today just seemed one of those moments where three is a crowd and finding a game to play in the pool together was a challenge. today.
it's really strange that choosing who gets to be a trainer vs a dolphin can become so problematic, and causing hurt feelings.
in any case, water play ended.
ev's in his room. gabby in hers. both reading. and andrew - well, he's roaming around. oh, and me - here, writing to you.
everyone's just cooling off now - literally and figuratively. ( you love those double entendres)
it was fun for a while though with all of us outside (wish you were there of course). gabby just loves jumping off the ledge and into my arms now! she loves it even more when she gets such a big splash out of it that it gets into my eyes.
what i love most about her doing this is the trust. it is incredibly fascinating and unbelievably rewarding to have a child's trust. i know she knows that i am here to make sure "nothing happens to [her]" i just love that.
(i also got the smiliest goodmorning from evan this morning - i was in the kitchen alone and he had come in and gave me the best greeting, which carried on into conversation and then to the dining room for some writing)
we had lunch outside too! turkey sandwiches, booty, grapes (though evan had a yogurt for his fruit) and juice boxes. oooooo and i made brownies, too - SPECIAL ones, where i just used pureed black beans folded into a box of brownie mix. let me tell ya, they're eatin' it up.
anyway, i can't wait to see you later. i hope at the very least, you've found something to smile about today too!
love you.

Refreshing!
Aaaaah.
How great was it to be able to have some down time today?! SUPER.
Although we only had a couple of hours, it sure was wonderful to have had the time to read together for a bit. I've been finding my chick-lit pick NEARLYWEDS quite entertaining (though very glad we don't have those couples' problems).
I wish I could have stuck around longer with you to have finished the last two chapters we have left in the book.
It was great being at Hay's, but I missed you tonight. Talking about the wedding without you there is really quite strange at times. It's tons of fun to talk to the girls, but there were moments when I wanted to turn my head to see if you were laughing too, or hear you share your ideas and concerns.
I'm very fortunate to have a man who is as involved in this wedding as you are. It is your wedding as much as it is mine, and it is so wonderful to know that every detail, every aspect has had your input one way or another.
I just love that everything about our wedding is everything about us, and that we are doing this to share this "everything" with everyone.
PS -
You're like a gulp of ice water going down the throat on a blazing day like today.
Aaaaahh!
Love,
A
