Musings of a Multi-Cultural Mind

So here it is over a month after our wedding and I'm finally getting around to this post!  After a couple months of illness I had a lot to catch up on with life  - selling off  leftover wedding stuff, getting my name changed at the various institutions, joining our various accounts and insurances, as well as my ongoing job search.  I'm still slowly rolling out all my thank you cards to our wedding guests so my apologies that its taking so long! So let me try to highlight some of the details with photos, and give my props to all the people who made this day happen. Stephen awaited my arrival in front of our Sofreh Aghd, to get his first glimpse of my bridal visage in the mirror Pre-wedding prep!  I got some hi-lites added to my hair to brighten up my face. Haydee Reyes over at E&D Salon over on Felicita in Escondido is amazing!  She does all the modern designer color styles like ombre. and she came out to my home on my wedding day to do...

So what do you get when a man with Asperger's Syndrome gets married to a woman with Fibromyalgia who bites off more than she can chew?  Chaos, drama, and a lot of emotion - that's what! But after seeing all the faces of so many people we love, I don't regret not eloping for a single second.  Before I blog about the fun and happy stuff, I want to air out all the yucky stuff I dealt with.  Not to bitch, but just to be human and have a laugh about it and hopefully provide a story to those who might relate or even benefit by learning from my mistakes. It didn't start out that chaotic when we got engaged over the summer.  I had everything locked down and most of my planning done.  But when I lost my job in September, and subsequently, my medical insurance and ability to pay for medication, the detox put my body through hell and threw my immune system for a loop.  So pretty much from November up till, well, now, I have been ill with one thing or another.  ...
