"Looking from a window above. It's like a story of love."

The Countdown is on! One week from today I'll have a new wife. Amazing! After 91 months or 2,776 days of dating we'll be married!

Today was the wedding of Collin Trent and Anna Helvering. It was quite a party. Collin and I were very good friends for the first 10 years or so of our lives. Three distinct and special memories I have of Collin. One: The two of us both loved New Kids on the Block and attended one of their concerts together at Verizon Wireless, which was Deer Creek at the time. I also think I traded him my Donnie pin for his Joey. Two: The guy hit me in the eye with a baseball bat on accident, which caused me to need stitches, which my Dad put in. It was a painful experience. Finally: If I remember correctly, Collin taught me how to swing a bit when I was maybe four. I was wearing brown shorts at the time that I didn't like. So today he got married and next week I'll get married. We were supposed to be born on the same da, but he actually arrived one week (exactly) prior to me.

So today, Lisa and I opened a wonderful gift from one Eileen before going matress shopping. We found a nice King Size, which should be wonderfully comfortable. Shh...we registered for mostly Queen size stuff, so keep that under wraps. Anyway, then we went to the wedding, before hanging out with some of the best people around for a nice relaxing couple of hours at the Sharp Farm.

In short, the day was mostly splendid.
