Tweak says, "Checkmate, Ringo!"

Time has completely escaped me. I don't know how that happened. I think because when I'm on tour with Zeke, things just seem to blur together. I don't know how he does it all the time. I don't know how any of you musicians do it ever. I'm glad I only dabble in this thing called music and its not my career because I would fail miserably. There are nights I have to force myself to go out on stage, and afterward I just collapse from the sheer emotion of it all. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy it.

But with all the blur I can sometimes forget the important things. Most recently I forgot my own birthday. I didn't know that May had ended and June had begun, marking me another year older. I was ashamed with myself, and I know Zeke was completely mortified that he too had forgotten my birthday. I didn't mind it though. I'm not a huge birthday celebrator anyway.

But really all this talk of birthdays is besides the point. What I really meant to say is that I looked at the calendar today and saw the date. Today is November 20th.

The 20th of November.

Six months ago today I married my best friend, my lover, my confidant, my rock, my world. All at once I can't believe its been that long and yet at the same time I feel like it was just yesterday that I sat across a weather worn table, drinking hot chocolate across from the annoying boy who wasn't so annoying anymore. It feels like just yesterday that I got up the courage to finally admit that I loved him. It feels like just yesterday that he was asking me to marry him. And I was saying no. It feels like just yesterday that he was recreating our first unofficial date and asking me to marry him. And I was saying yes. It feels like just yesterday that I gave my life to this man.

Happy six months baby, and here's to six badillion more.
