The Sweet Combination

…and in other news, Emily and I picked up our wedding bands yesterday. They look fantastic. I’m so glad that each of us picked the one we did. Emily’s is classy and beautiful, just like her. Mine is exactly what I wanted.

It’s funny how the big plans, the ones involving meetings and contracts, just kind of fly right by me. They’re like this big blur. It’s the little things that stand out. It’s the little things that I know I’ll remember forever. I can still remember the way the floor of the cabin felt when I hit one knee and asked the question. I will be able to remember forever they way it felt in the jewelry store when I put that ring on for the for the 1st time and looked at her.

I guess that’s what life is, really. A combination of big plans and little moments. The plans are the path your life takes. The little moments are what makes it worth living.

Last night I sat out in the back yard of a friend, ate a burger and a brat, drank a beer (and by “a” I mean “many”) and enjoyed some good conversation. It was awesome.

The mosquitos were biting, sure. And after we got home I fell asleep on the couch rather than doing some much-needed laundry.  And it’s quite possible that one of the food items may still not be totally in agreement with my stomach.

But last night is what summer nights are supposed to be about. Friends and laughter. Hot food and cold beer. Talking and listening. Smiles.

And you know what?

More of the same is on the way. More of the same leaves New York in about an hour and points its car south. Two great friends are coming in to town for the weekend. We can’t wait.

It’s one of those weekends where I don’t know exactly what we’ll do (drink. eat.) but I know it will be great.
