Messages of Love

Moe once told me that she wanted to be there for me during the wedding planning process. She wanted to be the one I came to when I was stressed or frustrated, to be the person I could talk to and vent to when I needed. She would be there for whatever I needed help with. I wasn't far enough into planning to take her up on this offer before she left.

The fiance and I were talking about wedding stuff at lunch and I've been thinking/stressing most of the day now. I was standing at my stove cooking quesadillas, stressing about the wedding and how we're going to make it work in the modest budget we have available, including the honeymoon. As I continued stressing, I started thinking how this would be a time to talk to Moe, to share my fears and stresses and hear her tell me that it was going to work out and then make a few brilliant suggestions to help it work. I was stressing how I didn't know what I was going to do now, because Moe isn't here anymore. Who was I going to talk to?

As I was standing there in the midst of these thoughts, mentally freaking out, I get this text message from the fiance:

Moe loves u princess

I can't tell you exactly what went through my mind at that moment. I texted the fiance back and said I know. A lil random, but i know. She loves you too.

It was his reply that got me: Hahaha not what I meant but she does I meant muah
I was stunned. I replied with Wow, and then completely lost it when he said Hahaha yea something happened.

Yeah, Moe used you to send me a message. Right when I needed it most. Right when I was stressed and freaking out and worried. Right when I was thinking about how much I needed her to be here, for so many reasons, not just for this. And then came the text.

Moe loves u princess

Not exactly an answer, but it's all I needed to know. The fiance has a Blackberry. Muah coming out as Moe was not an accidental typo. Fresh tears subsiding, I know I can do this. So does Moe.

Missed Connections

We've all received wrong number calls. They're not completely uncommon. I've even gotten the occasional wrong number on my cell phone. But wrong texts? Those are rare indeed. I've gotten one in the past, something about someone needing to reschedule a nail appointment. Not sure what that was about, but I let them know they had the wrong number. I was rather amused. Here's tonight's wrong texts from "Massimo":

M: Celeste is this u? Its Massimo
Jaina: Wrong number. Sorry.
M: Oh sorry to bug u
Jaina: Np

I much prefer wrong texts to wrong calls...wrong texts can be so intriguing and entertaining. To the two I've received (both within the last 6 months I believe), I've replied to both, letting them know they have the wrong number. The nail salon one realized they had the wrong area code. It was rather amusing. But seriously. I have to wonder about Massimo and Celeste. First off, the name Massimo makes me think of The Wedding Planner. Great movie. But that's beside the point. How did they meet? Why was Massimo trying to reach her? How did Massimo get the wrong number? Did Celeste meet him in a bar somewhere and give him a fake number to let him down easy? (not that I condone such action...because it's going to hurt the guy eventually and lying is not okay) I wonder what the real phone number is, if it's just a number away from mine. So many questions that will never be answered. I could write silly stories about the whole thing. Hey, that's not a bad idea. Maybe I should concoct stories about Massimo and the elusive Celeste.

Oh I feel a blog series coming on. Don't worry Gramma Ann, I may even get so into my story weaving as to take pictures to go along with it! Either way there will be plenty of pictures coming on here. :)
