you are my constant, you are my love, you are my whole wide world of everything, you love me fully, completely, you are my wifey and I plan to spend all my days w you :) I do love you so!
when all is not right w the world I remind myself I can be calm. I can breathe deep, I can seek peace. when my head gets too busy I know they'll be a time when it gets quieter. and this is one of the calm places I go to remind myself
My father has taught me many things in my life and will continue to teach me many more - the main one is love. Maura (or Not-So-Evil-Stepmother) has also come into my life, teaching me many great and wonderful things, they are an amazing couple who compliment each other well. For these two people in my life I am grateful and today I give many thanks for their love!
I give thanks for the lives of my two younger brother's, they are two examples of what I love most in this world. This is one of my most favourite pictures of them, while they were on holidays last Christmas in Florida. I love watching them grow up and these past couple years have enjoyed seeing them grow into the men they will one day become. Yay brother's!
This day and the day my sister graduated are two of my prouder days. I do so love my sibling's and am proud of their small and big accomplishments in life. I wouldn't be the person I am today without all the people in this pic w me.... my sibling's helped shape my personality when I was young and still help shape me now. My sister is away right now and I am so incredibly grateful, thankful, proud and glad she is on such an incredible adventure in Thailand. I do miss her but I know I'll get a giggle and a hug soon enouch. And none of us would be here if it wasn't for our Mama, she drives us to be more than sometimes we think possible. I love you all :)
