one year ago.

A year ago today, B was he usual silly self--Making me giggle with spontaneous text poetry while I rode the bus, trying to stifle my laughter from the first few rhymes he sent as my fellow bus goers shot me concerned looks. He was still using a Blackberry at this time, so each poem was sent while we phone chatted on my way to work; I can remember the sound of him hitting the keyboard as I waited in anticipation for the next goofy line.

"OK. I have one more," he said.

"I'm ready!", I replied.

It's funny to have stumbled upon a screen shot of this poem exactly a year later (and by "funny" I mean serendipitous, magical and nod-to-the-Universe worthy) -- especially since 2 days from now he will be hitting the road for his long trek to me.

Throwing caution to the wind, the entire country he'll cross (again!)...this time by car. Our west coast bucket list grows each day, and we can't wait to share the adventure with you all, here. I guarantee you many a humorous recounting of our quirky, weird little love.

Cheers to trusting the process, which has been my best and most successful life motto, yet.

(And cheers to B, whom I first asked permission before posting this. He said "Universe, man!" and that I could..."But boy will the fellas give it to me..." )

So fellas, go easy on him!

love,

Trish
