Life is never dull in my world. Things happen; things change. Yesterday I went to work, business as usual, and all of a sudden I was very ill with what appeared to be a stomach flu. (Gory details left out) I called Allison and she let me leave. I came home and slept most of the afternoon with some serious medication and I felt somewhat better afterward.

Bob called; we met and signed the papers on our new apartment. Anyone who knows me and has my phone number, I can give you the new location. We met with the caterer - Mary. Neat lady; lots of good ideas. Bob ate dinner; I watched. I was still not sure that I should eat, so I didn't.

We went to Target afterward to scout out a table I had seen earlier. The closest store did not have it. We'll have to go to another one. As I was really tired, we called it an early night and he brought me home. I DID register @ Target online a little later last night. We shop there, so it's only logical that I do that. I hadn't really thought about gifts until Mary mentioned it when we were talking. It would be nice to receive gifts, but most of all we would just like our friends to come and help us celebrate.

Just think 38 more nights, and I will be married again. Whew. I am entering this new marriage with better insight into who I should be for him. I was not the best of wives the first 23 years of my marriage to Tom, but with God's help, I was much better the last 8 1/2. I think I am much farther down the road so to speak, with what a good wife should be. But Bob nailed it when he said, "I don't expect you to wait on me, or do things for me that I can do myself, I would like for you to just be with me and love me." He is not a man with a lot of demands and expectations. God is good; He loves me and has blessed me with another good man in my life.
