Golden

"GOLDEN"  by CHRISETTE MICHELE

Take me back in the day when loving was pure

Love ain't going away, love is always secure

Life's not always perfect but love's always forever

Lets let true love connect lets try lasting forever

I'm so ready to love, I'm so ready to promise my all

I'm so ready to give til' the day that my life is no more

I'll be everything that this woman can possibly be

Cause I'm ready to be like the olden days when commitment was golden

Be the man of my dreams and get down on one knee, love

Say you'll be all I need and then ask me to marry you, my love

Lets take two golden bands and lets walk down the isle, love

I'll say I do and you'll say I do, make a golden commitment, oh

I'm so ready to love, I'm so ready to promise my whole all

and I'm so ready to give til' the day that my life is no more

I'll be everything that this woman could possibly be, yes I will

Cause I'm ready to be like the olden days when commitment was golden

Let's last forever (let's last forever)

No typical american shady love

Let's stay together (let's stay together)

Pray God smile upon ours

I'm so ready to love, I'm so ready to promise my whole all

and I'm so ready to give til' the day that my life is no more

I'll be everything that this woman could possibly be, yes I will

Cause I'm ready to be like the olden days when commitment was golden

I'm so ready to love, I'm so ready to promise my whole all

and I'm so ready to give til' the day that my life is no more

I'll be everything that this woman could possibly be

Cause I'm ready to be like the olden days when commitment was golden

Golden

Golden

oh oh my

Golden

Golden love

Cause commitment is golden
Mmm mmm

These were the lyrics to Adam and I's first dance. I love them not only because he picked it out, but because i think that they are really and truly beautiful. you should youtube it and listen to her sing the song...its stunning.

Today is the first day of Bar prep. Clearly, i'm extremely focussed. In fact, I'm so excited to be studying that there is a very real possibility i will walk to the post office a couple blocks down the street in the 9 degree F weather just for a break. Hello Alaska, I can see we are going to have a complicated relationship.

Here's another picture :)

i know you are waiting....

so to tide you over...
1. here's the groom with my girls

2. and me with my boys

family togetherness

my fam has been here for a week. we went adventuring on the hood canal. we've eaten yummy home cooked meals. we've watched LOTS of TV. we've done a lot of wedding prep. also, we went to the grocery store. oh the grocery store. i forgot how overwhelming it is to come from a place with 2 choices to a place where there are 25 kinds of chips. as we were leaving, the nice sample lady offered us some of their new snazzy cupcakes. intrigued as to what the reaction of my dad would be i called him over. He obligingly took the maple bacon cupcake. when the nice sample lady asked what i thought, he informed her they were not good and that he:

" is a conservative, you know, a Neo-Con. We don't like change.  For example, cupcakes don't belong at breakfast and bacon doesn't belong on cupcakes."

my mom rejected the lavender one too....so it might just be that QFC has gross cupcakes. she's convinced that's the only reason they were giving away samples.

oh me oh my.

ready, set, go

i've never been one to do just one thing at a time---so this past week, the following happened:

1. two presentations went well...i think :)
2. my client signed her final documents--yay.
3. my sister anna arrived and hung through three going away parties.
4. my work peoples treated me like gold...which i don't deserve. I am endlessly grateful for their love, support, enthusiasm for my choices, and great humor.
5. suzanne and terry threw the best Hawaiian send off to Alaska ever. i couldn't have asked for anything more and when i get the pictures of me in the ridiculous glasses john and nancy jo got me, i will post them immediately.
6. i'm pretty sure i'm going to have a panic attack on wed when i figure out there's no more school, no more work and just a week and a half till i embark on what is no doubt going to be the toughest and most rewarding challenge of my life.

HERE WE GO!!!
