10th




Today, my husband and I are celebrating  our tenth wedding anniversary, which I must say, has been one heck of an adventure.  That said, I've always been fascinated by the notion of immortality of love, as Shakespeare has succeeded in having his muse live on forever through his sonnets.  Today, this simple post is merely an attempt at the same, in the hopes that

       So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
       So long lives this, and gives life to thee.
                                           - Sonnet 18 W. Shakespeare


Falling is easy
Swimming upstream        
                              dodging obstacles
Challenging.

Mountains become hills
Quicksand
                              concrete
Solid

My rock
Sun
Stars
                              dreams.

You are
Paradise
                              found
Lucky me.

Our uncertain world
perfect, clear
                              simply                  
from love



Nick, your love has been the greatest gift in the world, one which has grown exponentially as time has passed.  To love and be loved has brought me so much happiness in good times and bad, in sickness and health, and for all the days we have had together, and in all the days to come.  While our path has twisted away from the expectations we started off with ten years ago, and the ride has been bumpy at times, I wouldn't have it any other way if I couldn't have you.  Happy tenth!

Enjoy the music.




Break

I've realized it has been some time since I have really posted here.  After running into a few people who have said they've been worried something was wrong, I know I need to get back on.  Since the blue screen of death to my laptop, I've not been on the computer as much, and as much as Nick's Kindle is cool, it constantly deletes what I type into the blog as I go, rather frustrating! During this break, I've been getting my own health back in check, physically from my IBD, and mentally by reconnecting with the musical side of my life with the guitar, not to mention my little writing project, all of which have kept me busy in my spare minutes.

I promise some more updates, and pics.  If I ever get my scanner going today, I have a celebration to share with you later today!

Much love to all who keep following and supporting us.  <3
