Dress Rehearsal

This weekend we had Issa's dress rehearsal:

Our third year in, we have a system. We had fun together. Hair is a breeze. Only eyeliner causes angst. We have a code that keeps us both calm. We laugh.

All of that is so good because the day itself is so stressful. So many opinions and wardrobe malfunctions and changes. But the two of us, we are solid.

And here's the deal. I'm hoping that is our pattern. I know life is going to get crazier for her. We are entering uncharted territory. But...we are solid. As long as we have that, we will be just fine.
