Yesterday and U2

Yesterday, at the gym, a song that reminds me of my wedding popped on my ipod.  The song was “It’s a Beautiful Day” by U2.  It reminds me of my wedding because it was the song that we selected to play when we were announced into our wedding reception.  While our first dance song was not really something we were very attached to, we were attached to this song.  We picked it months before and I listened to it often in the months leading up to out wedding.  Both E and I consider it “our song” (if we actually even have a song).  When my ipod started to play the first few notes yesterday,  I immediately started to cry and quickly changed the song, not wanting to cry fully at the gym (mind you, I tear up at the gym often, there is something about work outs that does that to me).  I don’t want to lose my husband.

** I posted this pic before, but here it is again.  It is one of the only shots I have scanned that is obscure enough to not really show either of our faces, but you can see that E is smiling at me and I look like I am laughing..... It is probably from the moment right after that song played***










***On another note, as graduate of Penn State University, I am so saddened by the events that have occurred at my beloved university over the past few weeks.  This article captures my sentiments exactly.  I am sending lots of healing thoughts to Happy Valley......
