Time for a little background???

My real journey really began prior to April 27. 2013, it officially began July 15, 2007. Mars and I were still in the phase of our lives when it was possible to have a few cocktails on a Monday night and still function reasonably well the next day. Yes, I call my husband Mars for the obvious reason. I will come to find out much much later that my husband and I are truly Mars and Venus….but that’s a story for another day.

So. Mars and I were working at the same company in the same office. At this point. we’d been married for about three years. We are living together. commuting to work together, and working together…how cozy. But. it worked for us.

As I said. those were the days that we could go out and still go to work the next day….not so much today. but back then. it was possible. We met up with a few of our friends at a place around the corner from our office. We had a few and then a few more before we decided to head home. It was a school night, after all. Once we got home, the cocktails started doing what they should and the romance was on. We were still in the honeymoon phase. right?

After the romance. it happened. Mars says, “Um…so…I sort of felt something.” I tilt my head an look at him strangely. But I know what he’s talking about. A few days ago, I felt the lump and tonight is the confirmation of what I already know. There is really something there. I’m numb. Thankfully, I had a few cocktails. I will sleep tonight….the next few days will be a different story.
