Life B.C. (before Chloë)

Wow. She's only 1 and 3/4 and I can barely remember the way our life went before her... What did I think about? We were married at Burningman... pretty abruptly. We were in love, madly, and silly. We would spend a weekend evening eating a few mushrooms and hiking around the mountain in the dark of night. We would play music till the wee hours of dawn. Wine and friends... care free. When we found out about her we agreed to be her hosts here on Earth... to show her around. We promised that it wouldn't change us if we didn't want it to, and only as much as we wanted it to. The truth is we have changed a lot. We have grown so much in the last year too. For the better. Things seem, somehow, more real than ever before. We think about her first, instead of ourselves. Sadly, also instead of eachother, but I'm sure that will return. Our life has blossomed in the most colorful and spectacular ways. While we couldn't have imagined the responsibility or the vastness of what it means to love someone so much and to care for every hair on their head so greatly that you sometimes can't sleep at night because you just want to watch them breathe... we wouldn't go back... not even for a night.
