Throwback

My hubby loves the Dew.

And the Dr.

And the Cola.

And just about anything in liquid form with caffeine and chemicals.

It was upon these musings last night that he mentioned the current craze of throwbacks.

And, no kidding, these were the words that came out of his mouth,

(when it wasn't full of liquified carbonation, that is.)

"Hun, you should do a throwback blog."

huh?

"You know, look for abuncha old pictures of us and post 'em."

Cuz of course anything that the cola companies do is cool.

So my blog should be too.

But, really, not such a bad idea.

Thanks, hun.

Cuz who woulda thought that these days

with the flirting and skipped heartbeats and laughs and dating dramas

(oh yes. there was drama. pretty sure the picture of us in the army paint was at a date that ended with us ending us. obviously, it didn't last. but it was drama.)

but it was oh, so worth it

because it would all become

this day

with us driving to the chapel in his little red car, and our mothers forgetting to light their candles and the song repeating over...and over...and over...until they remembered.

but we got married.

And then God gave us a baby to grow.

And the sickness and the heartburn and the leg cramps and the rubberbanded pants...

...so worth it.

Cuz she was ours.

And to experience it all again

for my son

Still, so miraculous.

A miracle I couldn't be more

any more

conscious of.

And grateful for.

A miracle that wears me out

and wears me through.

Because

they're laughin' here

But, see, only a few minutes after this pic, it was one of those rough evenings around here.

Everyone had just had enough of the day.

And maybe momma hadn't had quite enough caffeine.

(So I guess I can't really blame my husband for his love of it.)

But whatever it was, it's all so

so

worth it.
