Donna's Diary
Tuesday, April 20th, 1982
Jackie and Hyde's wedding was today and, let me tell you, Jackie looked stunning, even more than I did at my wedding. You know, back when Jackie started liking Hyde after he said her stash was his, no one ever thought they'd actually get together. We'd always thought she'd end up with Kelso, who would cheat on her again and again, and then they'd break up, date other people, get back together, and the cycle would keep going. Even when Jackie and Hyde started dating (if you could call it that), no one thought it would go farther than that summer. But I guess it was around the time that Hyde married that stripper that everyone started wondering if our thoughts of them lasting together really were wrong. And when she got with Fez… it just shook us all. There are no worries now, though. Jacqueline Hyde is here to stay, and no one has a problem with it at all. (And one more thing- it is4/20, but don't worry, we all gave that up last year. At least, everyone minus Kelso .)

After years and years of school, Eric and I have finally graduated college. To Eric, though, today was about going to the midnight showing of the new Star Wars movie. I mean, come on. He's 23 and married with a kid, you'd think he'd be more mature But no, he left me at home, nine hours before graduation so he could watch the prequel of a movie he saw as teen. Seriously, Eric could have written the movie himself years ago.

Halley's Comet appeared in the sky tonight. It was amazing to see it, and even more amazing that I got to see it through Charlotte's eyes also. And in 2061, when the comet appears again, hopefully she and her new baby brother will be able to watch it together with their children and grandchildren.
Speaking of the baby, I'm 6 and a 1/2 months a long. Luckily for me, the morning sickness has long stopped, but the raining hormones haven't.
Red and Kitty are cool about it, though. I guess Red is just excited that another baby means the potential of him being good and sports. And Kitty is just excited that everything she cooks, I'll eat and stillwant more.

Finally, he's here. His name is Lucas Steven Forman. Yes, he's named after Luke Skywalker and, yes, he's named after Hyde. He thinks it's no big deal, and I guess it's really not, but I think little Luke will find it interesting that his name is after one of the best people Eric and I know. We've decided that his godparents are going to be Kelso and Brooke, even though Jackie thinks she and Hyde should be the godparents of both Charlotte and Luke.
But Jackie and Hyde don't need any more responsibilities on their plates because two tiny bundles are going to bring big changes. That's right: Jackie's pregnant,with twins.That's how I went into labor. I had gone with Jackie for a doctor and when the test results came back positive, Luke decided it was time for him to come out.
And so, that's how my day went. Life's going to be crazy from now on, now that Jackie and I will each have two kids. And who knows where our future will take us. I know where mine will. On the 1st, Eric and I are leaving for Europe until September. I have a job at a newspaper in Italy covering all of the American news for the summer. It's going to be fun, but crazy with all of the kids.
The nurse brought Luke in a little while ago. It's amazing holding him, but kind of hard when you're trying to write at the same time. I wonder if he knows what life has in store for him, I wonder if anybabies know what they're in for.

We're on the plane to Italy! I can't believe it! Finally, after all of these years of saying it, I'm getting out of this town!

Today was Charlotte's first day of Kindergarten and, I'll admit it, I cried. Not as much as Eric though. I thought he was going to cry a river and send Luke down it like Moses. We just got back from Italy yesterday and I'm already missing it, but it's time to settle down now. And with my reporting job in Kenosha, I'll have the best of both worlds.

There's this new TV show on called The Oprah Winfrey Show (how creative, right?) The show seems interesting, but I can guarantee you one thing, she'll never be better than Donohue.

The Mets won the World Series tonight and normally I wouldn't car since football is somuch better, but comeon.I think the Red Sox could have put in more effort and won. Personally, though, I think the Yankees should have put in a lot more effort to actually get into the World Series. You'd think after winning it 22 times, winning a 23rd would be a piece of cake.

Thanksgiving is here once more, and once again I have so many things to be Thankful for: Eric, Charlotte, and now Luke. And soon Jackie and Hyde will have their own two little bundles to be thankful for. They're coming soon, you can just sense it.
