i love your emails so much! You are so
uplifting to me, except when i get sad because you are sad, but that's ok -
that's not a bad thing. Ummm - ok, so much to respond to.
Our first dance will be nearness of you
by norah jones - but of course - and i definitely have to talk to manny about
the cotten eyed joe, what would one of our dances be without it? Awful is what!
He's in charge of reception music - that's the one thing he asked to have
dominion over, so i'm not complaining, also - i love his taste. It will be alot
of jazz and d'angelo and soul and good old classic rock every now and then and
probably at least one christmas song i can think of. I don’t think I ever told you about our sleigh
ride adventure. The boys dedicated the
Sleigh Ride song to us on their Christmas radio show so in appreciation of our
recognition, we thought we’d spoil them a bit.
We had Kerby plant a walky-talky in Aaron’s desk and we got Aaron’s
extra set of keys from his sister. We
filled the bed of his truck with blankets and pillows and brought thermoses of
hot chocolate and apple sider. We then
called them from the other walky talky and put on our own “Zoe and Megan” radio
show. It concluded by giving them some
hints to come down into the parking lot.
As they ran out in search of us, we put on a cd with the sleigh ride
song on it on full blast on Aaron’s stereo and waited with expectant
giggles. They came down all grins and
Manny even had a santa hat on his head J . We enjoyed our
hot drinks as people walked by and stared at us with irresistible
curiosity. Once our drinks were done and
the boys were over the shock of our creativity, we actually went on a ride – we
took turns driving/riding in the truck bed on our way down to one of the lower
fields on campus. We drove into the
middle of the field and the four of us all snuggled up in the back and watched
the stars from under the blankets.
Therefore, the sleigh ride song invokes quite romantic memories for us
and would be strangely appropriate at our wedding. Then after all the dance
party madness, Manny and i will take off for our honeymoon - yikes!
Oo - work calls - must continue email
in a few.
Love!

Manny is forever the
most complicated mystery to me. And
while I can’t even begin to attempt to understand him fully, I’m constantly
learning him and its an ongoing revelation of why I need him so much. Our
worlds provide quite the culture shock for each other. But in delving into them and talking to each
other about what we experience there, we’re slowly coming to understand those foreign
worlds and how it feels to tread on them with the pressure of acclimating
ourselves to them for the sake of our love.
Love love love,
Zoe faith
