First Day Of My Life*

A couple weeks ago, Chris’s BlackBerry went kaput and so we had to go, like, an entire day and a half without texting. We’ve been texting as our primary means of communication since he first dropped me off from a morning/day/night of hanging out and accidentally texted the wrong Sarah. And then he texted me, the right Sarah, and we haven’t stopped texting since.

Anyway, his phone died and so I went through my Gmail archives and found the first email I’d sent to his work email the Monday after we met, March 24, 2007. And then, to be all sentimental and shit, I sent him an email under that email thread. And then like that Monday after we first met, I waited around all day for him to respond, all goofy and excited.

But this is neither here nor there! The point is, this season — the end of March, beginning of April — marks my favorite time of year. Four years ago during this time, I was a newly single, ready to mingle lady who didn’t want anything more than to date a bunch of random dudes, go out, drink a lot, and have FUN.

And then life threw Chris at me and man, fun is what I got.
These are the faces of terrified soon-to-be parents

Next month (NEXT MONTH, HELP ME) I’ll be having a baby with the baddest mother fucker out of all the bad mother fuckers.

Life’s Good.

*Bright Eyes. (Shamelessly stole the song-title-as-blog-post-title thing from Jonna.)

    This is truly sweet. And you guys look so cute together! And that Bright Eyes song makes me so teary-eyed. Here’s to love, springtime and babies!

  3. Hard to believe that only four years ago you were a single gal about town, and in a month you will be a MOM. Mind=Blown.

    I love this too sweetheart. We love you sooo much AND to think, after only 18 Irish Coffee’s in May of 2007 – we felt the same way. In fact… I remember saying to Abuelo… “So… how much money do you want to spend for this wedding?… And he said, no, do you think so? And I said, yes, yes I do. Did you see how they looked at each other?”

    Anyway, so glad we get to see you this weekend. Last weekend, the shower, the babies, family and friends… priceless. I’ve been high all week – and now I’m on my fourth margarita.

    Awww, I love that! Same thing happened to me in May, only it was (gulp) 11 years ago. I was a baby! And then 7 years and one week ago, I locked this guy down, and it’s been great. So, so great. I love this time of year for that reason and a hundred others, and I’m so happy it makes you all giddy too!

    Sweeeeeeet!!! Ain’t it great to still love your husband? 🙂 I’ve been with mine for 12 years. HOLY HELL TWELVE. Jesus, we’re old. (Well, he is.) I”m so excited for you to become a mom. It’s gonna rock your world in the very best ways possible.
