good times.

You wanna read a funny blog... read this one or this one or both. They're written by the same girl (Kendi). This one is a fashion blog, and this one is a normal blog about her life - not that fashion is abnormal. Honestly I've spent many a night laughing my guts out at her witty and sarcastic sense of humor. One day I'd like to meet this Kendi.... just sayin'.

he + me = we.

I have a confession to make. I was engaged once before Chris. The man I thought I loved didn't love me back. At least not in the way you should love someone you're going to promise yourself to for eternity. Although it ended terribly, it put me in the perfect place to fall in love with someone who would love me back for eternity, despite myself. After that disastrous relationship, I was in a really bad place. I made a lot of poor choices which could have made my life much more difficult than it already was. When I found Chris and he opened his heart to me, it made my life worthwhile. I wanted to be with him. When he whispered - sheepishly - those three small words to me, all the pain, suffering, anger, and disappointment I had been feeling for so many years was gently laid to rest. He took my heart and dipped it in the healing balm of acceptance and pure love. Although my soul was still a little ragged and scarred, it didn't matter. I realized I still had the capacity to love and plenty of room left in it to love this man. His love had changed me but what was left was a new, clean, white canvas. Together we could paint the life I had always dreamed of. The minute he held me close and told me he loved me was the minute my new life began.

I bring you the scraps that make up my soul - you make me whole.

not fair.

things that aren't fair:

• pregnant women who look better than me
• women who have had 5 kids who look better than me
• snow in the beginning of october
• starting the day feeling great and having my head revolt halfway through
• stinky feet
• not being a millionaire
• having to work on a saturday

things that are wonderful:

• watching the sun stream through the snow/rain clouds through my window at work
• getting random texts from my mom telling me she loves me
• finding out my nephew taught his friends the 'food dance' that i so lovingly bestowed upon him
• knowing my husby and my brother can hang out without me cause they're friends
• my new purse (newish - we're still in the honeymoon stage)
• my fake glasses that make my tired self look much better than reality
