Finally got my petsscan scheduled and it’s going to be on the 12th at 2:30 pm. The next day, Tuesday, we will meet with the doctor and hopefully go over the  results.  

In the meantime, Hans and I met with Wim, the owner of Palmetto Riverside to go over all of the particulars for our wedding and dinner. We encouraged him to imagine he is planning a wedding for his daughter and pick the wine pairings accordingly. His face lit up and he remarked that most of his clients don’t give him that kind of leeway  and that he was delighted to have it 🙂 Hans was mostly concerned with the duck entrée… He loves him some duck!  Vim does not have duck on his menu, but certainly knows how to prepare it and is happy to do so. 

After being together with Hans for over 15 years, wedding planning feels surreal.

I just read an article that Kirstie Alley died of colon cancer at age 71. There’s not a lot of details, but it sure makes me face reality 😦

I’m sitting in the living room crying..my throat hurts and my body is reacting to my reality.  Hans asked me “what’s up sweetie?” I choke on the words …whenever I read or hear about someone dying of colon cancer … and I stop talking …He comes over to comfort me.   I know, he says, it hits home.  How lucky am I to have someone who gets it without words.  

I’m shifting my mindset instead to this beautiful sunset, cool breeze, and watching Hans kick the ball with Baxter.  Next up was a chat with my friend Von, followed by FaceTime with baby Abby and I’m calm again.  What an emotional roller coaster!
