It's hard to believe (actually kind of surreal) that 12 months ago I was a single, manhattan career woman living large in the city with a huge group of like-minded singletons. My identity was virtually made up of the following:
--great apartment in Manhattan
--lucrative Senior VP position for a major PR firm
--summers in the hamptons
--vacations around the globe
--Parties, charity events, ie. lots of glitz and glam
--brushing elbows, exchanging hugs and/or signing endorsement deals with those one may only hear about through entertainment magazines, television, sporting events and movies
--And, it would go without saying.....knows how to party with the best of them
So, less than 10 months later....who would have thought I would take a ride of a lifetime? Well, actually, it was expected that I may be on to bigger things the following year, but doubtfully nobody who knew me (including myself) anticipated that bigger would mean what it did:
Month 1: A random call from someone I went on one date with 3 years ago
Month 2: Instant Boyfriend!??
Month 3: Instant Engagement!?
Month 4: Date is Set. We are having a destination wedding (why makes things easy)?
Month 5: Wait! What? Dogs are included (and we are not talking yorkies! Try Lab and St. Bernard)
Month 6: The end of the wonderful career, success and money. Bye-bye job. :- (
Month 7: You want me to move to Brooklyn? Isn't that in another country?
Month 8: Planning, showers, stress....what just happened?
Month 9: We get hitched. Not once, but twice!
Month 10: Honeymoon. I'm Pregnant?
What a ride. Wasn't I just single a few months ago? I haven't even told everyone I know that I met someone.
