You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

OH. MY. GOD.

3 April, 2012 /

just breathe.
just breathe.
just breathe.

Of all the things I have done in my life that are crazy insane and scary as hell, tomorrow is going to top all of them.

When my life is over and people are talking at my funeral they will talk about tomorrow as the turning point in my life, when my life changed in the most monumental way…when I was rewarded for something good I did in this life.

I’ve had gone through labor 3 times, lived through 2 wedding days, jumped out of airplanes by myself, allowed myself fall in love when I didn’t think I would ever fall in love again…and this is like 1000x scarier than all those things together.

All day I have been thinking about the lead up to tomorrow. I’m going to do something that about a million people would kill to do and I am going to go out and look like the freaking retard I am, but I am going to do it for all of those people that would love this opportunity.

I’ll write more about it tomorrow…if I live through it.
