Sailing this weekend in Salem Harbor(notice Will's great new glasses ... pay no attention to my crazy hair :)
I have the best husband in the whole world ... maybe I'm biased, but I'm so glad Will Trautman married me! I've been thinking about him a lot today - he's had a stressful week and I can see the weariness on his face (but he still went to - and participated fully in - childbirth class last night! :) So, right now, I'm baking him some cookies - nothing like some sugar and chocolate to melt away a stressful week, right?
I'm so grateful for these few months we have in CNY before our "Little Buddy" makes his appearance in the world. It's given us time to reconnect after a most intense semester of school, work, job-hunting, putting our house on the market, and moving prep.
The title of this post is from G. K. Chesterton's book The Man Who Was Thursday, which we read aloud to each other the summer we were dating. We were actually at the lake for the weekend with two other couples (I have no idea which lake - I was just along for the ride to "the lake"), and the reading aloud earned us the nickname "Reading Rainbow." I don't remember a whole lot about the book (I think I mostly just listened to Will's voice :), but this line resonated with me then, and still does now: "Two is not twice one, two is two thousand times one." This was Thursday's feeling when he discovered that another character (some other day of the week) shared his undercover mission.
At the time, I had that same sense about this dashing young philosopher with the Clark Kent glasses - that I had found the man whose mission I shared. And though the past 5 years haven't been easy for sure - after all, now I'm married to a dashing young engineer - I am still thrilled to be his partner and helpmate... Just thought I'd share :)
