Today's The Day — HERCULANEUM

Hey, you guys...I'd like to share with you an email exchange that Will and I had on Wednesday evening.

***Date: Wednesday, July 9, 2008, 4:49 PM
Me: "Bubba, I called your Mam, Maammm, (Mom) on the way down here to see if she was available on Friday to be a witness. CAN I GET A WITNESS?? She said that she was. Do you want to give that last number on the list a call and see if we can do it on Friday? Love, Your BooBoo"

Will Bezek wrote back, 7:30 PM: "Hi Bubb, We have an appointment on Friday. Nervous yet? Where should we have dinner?"

Me, 7:45 PM: "My heart just skipped a beat and I think I just shit my pants. Are you serious?"

Date: Wednesday, July 9, 2008, 7:59 PM, I hear nothing, so I email again: "BooBoo, I'm pretty sure that I'm sitting on a steamer. Are you SERIOUS?"

Will Bezek wrote back, 8:15 PM: "I'm cereal. Really, cereal."

I'M SUPER CEREAL, PEOPLE!!

We're getting married today.

And suddenly, with a flutter in my chest, a catch in my voice and a rather full, grateful heart,

I feel as though there's open fields ahead.
