one year of happiness

Yesterday was our 1st anniversary. Wow. one year. i have never been happier than I have been with Kelly. It is so hard to think of words that say how wonderful life with him is. compared to all other times in my life this is the most fulfilled I have ever been. Kelly knows when I need love, when i need comforting, when i need to laugh, when i need to cry. he listens. he dreams with me and supports whatever i dream. he doesnt mind doing laundry. he tries new foods i make at least once. he tells me the truth even if its hard to. even if the truth is that dinner was bad i dont feel bad because he tells me the truth. and its also not hard to tell him the truth. i know that he will react well no matter what and that we will always work out problems together.

White Flag

Great song...



I know you think that I shouldn't still love you or tell you that
But if I didn't say it
Well I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were 

But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be 

I know I left too much mess and destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of it's over
Then I'm sure that that makes sense 

But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be 

And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All I was then will be there still
I'll let it pass and hold my tongue
And you will think that I've moved on

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Sitting Still

This is the first time I have been sitting still for too long. I threw out my back or something and I am sitting in the living room with a heating pad on it. Thank God for my husband (who went out to get the heating pad last night) and for wireless internet.

My friend…Rebekah

When I was little I had a bosom friend who lived down the street.  Her name was Rebekah.  I hadn’t seen her in 14 years or so.  I saw her the weekend of my wedding.  Here are the pics, finally.

Here she is with her namesake, my beautiful daughter Rebekah.  They had so much fun playing together.

so, im frustrated.  I am trying to find somewhere to stay in NYC that isnt going to kill our wedding budget.  We are thinking of eloping to NYC.  Obviously this isnt a suprise event.  our families know and encourage it.  we have been wanting to go to NYC for a while know and so maybe we can kill 2 birds with one stone?  any thoughts?  help.
