Another look back...

I guess because nothing special is happening in my current life, I feel the need to delve back into the past for things about which to discuss. Today, for example. Fourteen years ago today... I looked like this:
And I looked like that with a guy who looked like this:
Can you believe K and I have been married for 14 years? We've been together for more than half my life and married for almost half my life.
I just typed a long entry, but deleted it. I can't articulate words today or at least, none that I want the world to see.
Happy anniversary to me.
Fourteen years ago today, K, M and I drove from our home in Camar!llo to a church in Encino. It was a cool, cloudy day. Not the prettiest day to be getting married, but certainly not as bad as it could be. It could be raining! Rain and spiral perms don't mix. Oh, give me a break... it was the 90s. You wore spiral perms, too.
My father kissed me, cried, and walked me down the aisle to my awaiting fiance.
The service was short and the audience small. One of the few attendees had to remove the wailing baby of best man and matron of honor, so as not to ruin our service.
A few words were spoken, rings were exchanged and before I knew it, my life had changed.
We went home, packed our clothes and drove to a hotel overlooking the ocean. We had a wonderful dinner, delicious wedding cake and left in a Cadillac to our Santa Barbara honeymoon.
I can't explain how I feel right now. A little choked up, a whole lot reminescent. Sad...
I have no idea why.
Don't mind me - I'm having an anniversary.
