August 13, 1988

Today is our 20th wedding anniversary.

Surely I'm not old enough to have been married for 20 years. Surely!

That 80's pouf veil is better left forgotten. I didn't even like it back then. I was talked into it by an overbearing woman at the dress shop.

I wanted a simple, fingertip veil with a small tiara. I was too timid to speak up when she told me that I needed a different kind of veil for the gown I'd chosen.

I know. "Timid" and "Jill" don't belong in the same sentence. You wouldn't have known me in 1988.

I like myself better now.

More importantly, I still like Eric. I think I should keep him, don't you? Especially since he's taking me out to dinner tonight. It's not exactly the trip to England we'd hoped would be the hallmark of our 20th anniversary. Neither one of us expected there to be a sweet new baby in the picture.

So a dinner out will have to suffice.

I am blessed, though. Richly blessed!

Now, what should I do with my hair...
