Friday Letters: edited so I’m not confusing people!

Dear last day single Joey (2 years ago)~

You were spot on when you wrote this in an old journal:

*I sneak out into the garage to grab a drink.  Quiet and familiar, a break from the chaos.  Heat radiates from the recently stilled engine of Mom’s Expedition as it naps, exhausted from it’s journeys to and from the airport.  I lean against it and feel it warm my skin while my heart overflows.  I take a deep breath, crack open the Coke can and open the door to the house.  I take in the laughter and loud voices; my family.  I share blood with some but love with all.  I take in the moment as I realize it’s one of the last I’ll have living in this house.  There’s a wedding tomorrow, and it will change my life and home forever.

Sincerely,
Joey, from your new life in your new home (present day)

*disclaimer: this was written in a journal just before I got married.  We’ve been married for 2 years now, I was just happily reflecting.  Sorry for the confusion 🙂
