11 June 2008

I thought I would have nice pretty posts for you while I was gone (time delivered). I thought I would have nice pretty posts for you over the past few days.

I was wrong.

We're heading out to the Caribbean today, Aaron and I, for a glorious honeymoon/marriage. It's the dawn of a new day (or a little past), and boy am I excited.

We're leaving behind a state which has over the last month been struck by quite a few tornadoes. We're leaving behind a state which is flooding, badly. Enough to rival the Flood of '93, which we always say in a reverent hush. The flood where Des Moines was without potable water for 18 days. The flood where we had to gather the ever-coming rain water to flush our toilets and take a bath. Water is breaking levees and going over spillways, and its coming baby. But not for me. Not for us. We're heading for calmer seas and beautiful winds.

I'm going scuba diving (hopefully- if I can't pass the physical etc, I'll be snorkeling). I might go horse-back riding. I'll be laying on a beach on beautiful sand. I'll most likely get sunburned.

And I'll be with the love of my life.

(I will start posting again after we get back, some time after June 19th. And hey, thieves, we've got someone staying in our house. Nice try.)
