Whirlwind Adventure!

"Shrek & Donkey on another whirlwind adventure!"

That's how I frequently feel in this marriage of mine. Not sure if I'm Shrek or Donkey... but whoever I am, Nathan is the other! My husband, like most I'm sure, is a man on the hunt, on the move, in search, on a quest... the great wild man at heart. It manifests itself in some interesting ways at times. I tend to be the "realistic" and "rational" one which really means the one toting the ammo and firing down the dreams and mighty acts that my husband would like to accomplish. He is so unrealistic! It has been my journey to learn to stash the ammo and use it against the enemy, not my lover. I am STILL learning to live in the eye of the storm, as it were.

This post comes, not surprisingly, as a result of another adventure in the works. I am restricting my tongue from speaking anything "realistic" - Realistic words get the red light! (and anyway, how many truly successful, happy, fulfilled people are realists???) Dream on, husband of mine. Take us on another whirlwind adventure!

Symbol of the Wedding Ring

My husband came home from work for a late lunch today (we live close enough for him to do that - yay!). I had just put the girls down for their naps. The house was quiet. I was resting on my bed with faithful laptop going through emails. My Lover entered the room and said “you look pretty today.” That made my day - I'm not even wearing makeup today. “Really?” And that was BEFORE I found my wedding ring! Yay!!! I found it!

I lost my wedding ring last year in February just before I went to India (with Michelle B. and Ted H.). You can read little journal snippets of my time in India here. I actually went to India planning to purchase a gold ring to wear as my wedding ring. I found one and purchased it and wore it from then until I ended up finding my wedding ring shortly after arriving back in the states. This year I lost it on Easter. That was weeks ago by now. I didn't sense that it was gone forever but I didn't have any leads as to where it could be. I kept thinking if it was still here it would show up. I was a little disappointed that it was taking so long. Anyway... a few days ago I saw Michelle B. She told me she'd had a dream about me and in the dream I was getting married. She didn't have time to elaborate. I'm still waiting to hear details. She then called me yesterday, out of the blue for something unrelated (so I thought) and I told her I'd call her back today to let her know my answer on the matter. I called her today with my answer. As soon as I had hung up the phone my eyes landed on my wedding ring.

Now that is some kind of crazy symbolism happening in my life right now... and I have a feeling that her dream was related somehow and so is the matter she was calling me about... I suppose it's unfolding even now...
