I Dream of Todd

The "Y" on the mountain stands for "Yikes!".

I wrote this letter to Todd after I had a dream with him in it. I don't remember that dream now, I thought it was this one. Anyway, less than a year later and while I was dating two other men simultaneously (one per coast, thank you very much), I had this dream:

"I had a dream that I was complaining to my friend, Todd, about not knowing what to do with my life after graduation and so I jokingly asked him to marry me. Much to my surprise, he readily agreed, and we went to the temple right then. Next thing I knew, I was wandering around Provo trying to figure out how to support the two of us while he finished school. Then I found out that I was pregnant. What a nightmare!"

Seriously, I should've been a fortune teller. Why is prognostication not offered as a major?! Because that nightmare? That's pretty darn close to how it happened a year later!

But then it was dreams coming true.

(Except for the Provo part. That is my enduring nightmare. [creepy shivers up my spine])

I love reading the story of you guys. Wish I had kept in touch with you better all those years while I was at BYU in yes, that awful place called Provo.

You, my dear Anne Marie, were a sparkling ray of sunshine every time I was in Provo. I always looked forward to visits with you, and I'm sure if you'd been living there when I was living there I would have fared much better. Ah, well.

I'm reminded of the dream sequence in Bride and Prejudice...

Hah! I was actually thinking of using a clip from Bride and Prejudice for next Musical Monday! Great minds!

That's funny, because I just watched Bride and Prejudice on Saturday for the umpteenth time. In fact, I think I'll watch it again tonight.

I call for a Bride and Prejudice party! Just because.
