I suppose that in the grand scheme of things it’s just a drop in the bucket, but I can’t believe that today marks our 7 month wedding anniversary!

Time has just flown by and although the past 7 months have been chock full of activity, I mostly feel like our wedding just happened. Maybe it’s the 4 beautiful weddings we’ve been to since our own, or the 2 that we have yet to attend this year…all of which I’m able to appreciate that much more after planning one of our own!

Seven months, and yet there are so many wedding-related things we have yet to do! Our thank you cards, for one thing (gulp…we’re uh…borrowing from the 1-year-from-wedding-date gift guideline — although it seems Emily Post begs to differ on that rule); sorting through and ordering prints of our photos, for another. And, posting photos of all the handmade items in our wedding, like my veil and gown! Roberto and John’s one-of-a-kind orchid centerpieces and calla lily boutonnieres! Christine and Don’s hand-stained wheatgrass centerpiece boxes! Clara’s cupcakes! Jenn’s slideshow production! So many things to do…

But for now, I’m just happy swooning with happy memories as I listen to the song we chose for the bride & groom entrance at our UC Berkeley Faculty Club reception — Lovely Day by Bill Withers.

Come on sing along! You know you want to!

When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind

Then I look at you
And the world’s alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it’s gonna be
A lovely day
… lovely day, lovely day, lovely day …

When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way

Then I look at you
And the world’s alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it’s gonna be
A lovely day…..
