Life is a dream, realize it

Published in Widowism by chefswidow

My apologies to those who have already seen this movie. I tried to make a new one but am just too damn tired to follow thru;)

I haven’t been able to collect my thoughts about the restaurant opening. Actually I haven’t even been able to comprehend the idea that the Chef & I(and countless others) actually opened a fucking restaurant. I just cannot fathom it. But we did. And it was is pretty RAD. The past week has been one of the most surreal experiences of my life. I cannot even begin to explain the way I feel about my husband. The pride is so overwhelming that the second I begin to focus on anything chef or restaurant related, a tsunami of tears appear.

I took several videos throughout the week and I had hoped that they would convey what I had experienced. They don’t even come close.

Everyone keeps asking me how excited I am. And I am. But it is SO freaking weird. It absolutely DOES NOT FEEL REAL. I have never had this kind of experience. A dream realized. A dream complete. It may take awhile for me to get used to that fact.

In the meantime I will enjoy the ride of a lifetime.
