how we met
2005-06-27, 3:45 p.m.
one year ago yesterday, adonis and i met at a local lounge.
my friend denny was in from out of town and insisted that despite the fact that we were tired, we should go out.
so i jumped on citysearch and for the first time in my six years living in queens, decided to check out the local scene.
meanwhile, just back from a trip to Florida with his friends George and John, Adonis landed also decided it was time to go out. for him the local scene was his usual night out.
if denny hadn't been in town.
if adonis was still in florida at the time.
if we hadn't ended up at THAT place.
if i hadn't been drunk and asked him to dance.
if he hadn't been drunk and said YES.
if we didn't have the courage to move forward despite all of our differences.
if i hadn't been patient.
if he hadn't been ready.
if i had listened to what so many people were telling me what THEY thought of my relationship
if i hadn't taken the risk and given up so much to be with him
we wouldn't be together, and we certainly wouldn't be married.
when you think about everything a couple has to overcome just to get the their one year mark, let alone engagement and a lifetime commitment to be together....there's no denying how strong the human desire is for love.

married life is good, but it doesn't really feel any different. maybe once we are married in the church it will sink in.
i will be baptized in an adult sized pool on july 23rd. i will wear a bathing suit, and over that a robe. after that adonis and i are discussing the very strong possibility that we will have our greek wedding here in the states, and fly his family from greece. we received bad news the day before our wedding that he will not be permitted to travel out of the US until he has his greencard, which can take up to two years. we don't want to wait that long to have our marriage blessed properly in the church, and since we are planning on trying to have children next year, we'd like to have the wedding ceremony before i'm carrying our first child.
*******
can't wait to go to santa monica. leaving saturday. five days of rest and relaxation will be good for us. and we both love to swim so it's going to be spectacular.
*******
my name is now legally changed.
i feel liberated. no more attachment to my father.
i will start my own family now.
i'm not alone anymore.
******
adonis is hooked on hot yoga.
i never thought i would see the day that he would sit in lotus position, or stand in tree pose.
i also never thought i'd see the day the he would walk a dog and pick up the shit. you remember adonis who scoffed when he first heard i had two cats and a dog, the first week of our relationship.
i thought for sure i'd never heard from him again when he cut that date short and kissed me quickly on the cheek and in fact he did not call for a week.
anyway, we watched sarah over the weekend for sherry while she was away. and adonis surprised me by offering to take sarah for a walk. no correction...not a walk...a RUN. because "She needs to run, she's a dog."...
then he spoiled her by feeding her french fries.
i love the fact that he continues to surprise me.
and i love him more every time he does.
YESTERDAY - TOMORROW
