A trip, a wedding, and the Flu

-

 

 December 28th at 2pm I was blessed to marry my best friend.

We took a trip to Tybee Island which is our favorite place. We spent a good five days out on the island and we took a day trip to Savannah. We took a trip, we got married, I brought home the flu. This is us above after we got married in Forsyth Park. It is one of our favorite places to visit and our officiant found us the perfect corner to get married in. We have known each other for over 25 years and have been a couple for over 6 years and now husband and wife.

I felt pooky on Thursday and kept turning up the AC. My poor hubby was nearly frozen I caved and turned it back up. We got home Friday and I felt ok up until I did not. Fever spikes hitting 100.7. And all the symptoms. I knew I had the flu. Today I took off work even though I was supposed to go back, due to needing to be fever-free for 24 hours. Oh, Savannah or Tybee why you gotta do me like that. I was one of a handful of people wearing masks and I am the one sick.

Before I was sick we had a blast together. It was great to just be us two to celebrate our wedding. Of course, we took ourselves right out to the crab shack to eat our wedding dinner. We looked out at the back bay, we snuggled up in wraps to keep us warm and we ate our first meal as husband and wife. Trust me, nothing tastes better than your first meal as husband and wife. My honey had a stroke on 9-27-2020. You know how we all remember 9-11. Well for me the day of his stroke is forever engraved into my brain. I know life is short, and I am so blessed and thankful to say I am this man's wife. 

I am coming to the end of the flu, thank you lord, and tomorrow I return to work. I have ordered all sorts of wedding day photos to fill my office with. The memories we have made for the last six years have been amazing and now as a married couple, I look forward to making more with my husband. To say I am truly blessed does not begin to tell you how happy I am to be married to my best friend. My ride or die, my bestie. We spent new years eve toasting with a glass of champagne to more adventures together through life. 

Life may not be perfect but I am so blessed that he is still alive, that it is him and me, that at the end of the day I married the love of my life.

May 2022 be whatever you need it to be. May you find happiness and joy in doing everything you do, including washing the dishes.

Here is to another year of uncertainty but filled with the hope of all possibilities.

Your friend,

Debbie

Sunday Stories, Crazy Love Coffee Shop

So Crazy Love Coffee in Roswell Georgia has been on my list for years to visit. This weekend I got to go. I bought my son and myself an iced coffee and giant blueberry muffins. This coffee was smooth. The service fast and friendly.  There was a considerable line; I was not in a line long. The staff hustled to get everyone's orders done. They asked what you wanted and listened. They recommended products based on what their customers were describing. They had books for sale, cards, bags, toys, all sorts of note cards, and cute stationary. This place did not disappoint.  I must have been the 20th person in this long line, but 15 min later, coffee in hand, I was on my way out the door to give my kiddo his coffee. I had an iced coffee and the flavor of the coffee was smooth and sweet and tingled the tastebuds. The atmosphere was relaxed. The light was on point in this big area. See those bags in the photo, I had to fight the urge to get one.  Crazy Love coffee is family oriented, perfec

Sunday Stories: Time Spent Well.

Us At Cathedral Coffee This is the coffee shop   Yesterday was a day well spent. We drove thirty miles to a local church, with a coffee house in it. The coffee tasted so smooth and wonderful dancing on my tongue. I was told about the breakfast biscuits that were almost sold out. We, my husband and I each ordered one. We got the last two biscuits, and they did not disappoint and were only $4 each, so for  $12, we got a great breakfast and coffee. We spent an hour sitting, sipping, eating and chatting. It was a great slow start to what was quickly going to become a busy day. Thank you  Cathedral Coffee  for fueling our day.  Secondly, we hit a local convention. Spend $7 to get in and $7 on things we bought. It was full of artists we love, with jewelry and hand-drawn art. We spent maybe an hour at this convention, which was local, and we walked through it a few times. Since we are not going to Dragoncon this year, this little convention was perfect. Another hour was well spent.  After thi

Third Place on a Sunday

  If you have been following me for a while, you know I am in love with the third-place concept. Don't know what it is? Let me fill you in. You need a home place, a workplace, and a third place within the community where you can go and chat, read, have a beverage, and feel safe. For me that is always a coffee house. A few years ago I went around to some of Georgia's coffee houses and I wrote about them. Always seems to happen in the Summer. Seems the perfect time to travel and see the coffee houses of Georgia.  This summer we start with Labrador Coffee House in Kennesaw Ga. This cute house is turned into a two-story coffee house. The smell of intoxicating coffee welcomes you inside, but have a poochie? No problem, there are bowls of water all over the porch for puppy doggies. They are welcome on the porch, but not in the cafe. Gotta keep that fur out of our food you know. :)  The Labrador is dog friendly. The doggies are welcome everywhere else. The tiny fire hydrant to sniff a
