A Legal Alien

03 November 2007

The last several days have been a whirlwind, in the best sense of the word. Next weekend I'll be in Florida for the meet and greet of the future in-laws. I'll also be getting my ring. School is going pretty well. Kids are settling into a routine. Pieces are falling into place. I'm happy, down to my toes happy. Run around and jump up and down happy. Stupid grin on my face happy. Why don't people tell you it's this good?

You are there when I'm a mess
Talk me down from every ledge
Give me strength, boy you're the best
You're the only one who's ever passed every test

Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do.
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul, you got class.
You got style, you're bad ass

Ain't no other man it's true
Ain't no other man but you.

Yes, those are Christina Aguilera lyrics. Sue me. I'm stupidly happy and hopelessly in love. Why not listen to mindless pop music? My 22 year old self would hate the 33 year old me. Isn't that the beauty of not being 22 anymore? I love the 33 year old me. This is how you're supposed to feel in your own skin. My 30s have been amazing. A wild ride. Up. Down. Down again. All over the place.

And now? To the moon.
