six years ago

Six years ago today, around this very time I am upstairs in the Barlow's house curling my hair. I finish and walk down the stairs and out into the the cool of the fall air. I am wearing a red knee length dress and black go go boots. I walk up the stairs and into the barn. It looks of fall. Pumpkins with lights sticking out of them make a walk way to another set of stairs that lead up. My dad is standing at the top of the stairs and grabs my arm and leads me through chairs filled with loving family and friends. Jared is standing before me. I take his hands and a man begins talking. Jared plays me a song on the piano and gives me a kiss. The man is finished talking and everyone in the room gives us a hug. We walk down the stairs hand in hand and out of the barn. Climb into Jared's car and I lean over to him and say "you are my husband" "yes and you are my wife".

I was just sitting in the shower thinking of this day. I climb out rap a towel around myself and open the door to see my fabulous husband making a treasure chest out of a shoe box for our beautiful little blond superman and a handsome little brown haired pirate.
