July 21, 2000 was the first time we ever spoke. By July 21, 2000 was the first time we ever spoke. By a random twist of fate, I was reassigned to his customer service team.  We bonded instantly over the Dodgers, Seinfeld, Tool, and a love of beer. We became such fast friends that people either thought we grew up/went to college together or were sleeping together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The latter was hilarious because we lived 1300 miles apart, had never met, and I was married (although I can see how that last one doesn’t mean anything to some people).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We talked every day. We became close friends. We shared some of the hardest moments of our lives together, and we pulled the world’s best prank (a story which is so good because it would NEVER have happened the way it did in current times).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
July 14, 2004 was the day we first met IRL. It was a summer evening and I still remember the joy of seeing him for the first time, which is a miracle because this night also still holds the record for the drunkest I have ever been. We had a blast (or so I’m told).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
21 years, 20 job changes (most of which are mine), 16 moves (most of which are also mine), 7 Mammoth seasons, 3 awkward spousal assumptions from strangers, 3 devastating breakups (all of which are mine), 1 Dodger WS Ring, 1 unexpected pregnancy (mine, not his), and countless beers later...he is my counterbalance, my confidant, the person I play hooky with, and sometimes partner in crime.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This man is one of the most special people in my life. He’s the rock to my free spirit and I’m the disruptor to his order. Out of respect for his privacy, I’ll just say that he needs a miracle right now. So if you’re the praying sort, please lift him up in your prayers.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

beauty isn’t skin deep.

Growing up, I can’t say that I ever felt beautiful. I was tall and scrawny with big, frizzy hair and a gap in my front teeth wider than the Grand Canyon. Most of my clothes were hand-me-downs from the girls at church, so they were often out of style and far too short for my gangling limbs (when capris came back in, I cringed, recalling all of the jokes about

time is irrelevant right now.

I wish I could press pause right now, I really do. That might seem crazy when the whole world seems to be on a collective pause, thanks to this crazy virus and our even crazier government that can’t seem to get a handle on it. But life hasn’t slowed down for me since COVID came crashing into our lives. Very much the opposite, in fact. While I am unbelievably grateful
