Quote Junkie

Just a little quote I fell in love with! 

Ben

Seriously I die over this!  Fall in love with the lyrics, let your heart swoon as he picks his guitar, and let his voice wrap you up into a big fuzzy blanket. I could listen to this 200 times a day and never get tired of it.  Maybe 201 even..

"We stood steady the stars in the wood..."

In An Instant

It's amazing the things you can realize in an instant.  It's like that whole saying about a light bulb going off.  Today this happened to me.  Someone said one little thing to me and BAM, everything made sense.  I am grateful for the good friends that I have who help me to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Especially those who have been through so much and are really good at putting things into perspective.  Happy Monday..  

My Constant

This man is my only constant.  I am forever thankful for him and I truly believe that God had a plan for me when he created this man, my constant. 

Thank you to my amazing friend Kandis of Wish Photography for taking this photo for me. 

Whip Lash

I've been feeling a little bit of whiplash lately.  And not the kind from a car accident.   The kind where someone asks you to do one thing and then when you follow their request, it  gets thrown back in your face.  People say that they want you to be up front and honest with them, but when confronted with what you are being honest about, they can rarely handle our honest truth.  

After facing this situation, is it worth it to be honest and truthful in our relationships when we risk having a future relationship at all?  Or do we sugar coat things as if to not be completely honest and hope that the point comes across eventually, exhausting ourselves the whole way through?  Or do we just not say nothing at all and in a sense be lying to not only the other person but also to ourselves?

Taken Out of Context

I hate how text messaging and Facebook have made things so easy to be taken out of context.  People often take things the wrong way when written in a message rather than heard vocally.  The way one reads something can sometimes come off complete opposite of how the author has written the message.  This is why I think its so important to say something to someone to their face.. or their ear.. when you want to share.  Especially when it's feelings of depth or heartache. And in case you're someone out there reading this.. I am writing this with a heavy heart and not with one of anger.  

3 Years

Today marks three years of being legally bound to my love.  It has been the easiest three years.  People told me marriage would be hard, especially the earlier years.  Honestly I can say that they have been a breeze and have gone by so fast.  I am beyond blessed to have this man as a constant in my life.  He is one of the few..

A Text Message

Today I am thankful for people being there for me without even knowing I needed them at that very moment.  A text message from a friend miles away is just what I needed.  Thank you! 

To Feel Beautiful

I can't say that many times in my life have I ever felt extremely beautiful.  I am truly not getting down on myself.  I just don't picture myself as an object of beauty.  I do love my heart though and can see the beauty there.  A few nights ago I got together with my friend Kandis photos and fun.  She too is a photographer.  I accompanied her to a shoot and dinner but in between she snagged these photos of me.  I was all sorts of awkward but some how she managed a few keepers.  I can honestly say that besides my wedding day, these photos share a moment that I feel most beautiful.
