So I had a thought last night while I was trying to go to sleep. Let me start from the begining. I get marrried first of last year. As I think back to planning the wedding I am feeling now about what I felt then. You plan and plan. Get all your ducks in a row. Then you wait. Your day finally comes and you are just ready to get it done so you can start your new life. Once the ring ( band) is put on, the real work begins. Just like marrage, the band is going to take some lifestyle adjustment, some successes, and some struggles, but it is totally worth it. My work will begin on Thursday, 8-4. I am feeling all of this and just wanted to share. I am looking forward to my banded life.

Excellent comparison! Good luck on both of your new journeys. I'm sure you will make them successful!

That is a great way of looking at it! I am getting banded tomorrow as well. I will be thinking good thoughts for you!

What a great analogy. But unlike my marriage, my band is going to work!!!
