Life Is Meant To Be Shared

From the time we are very small we know that one plus one is two. But when the right people come together, one plus one is actually more than two. Much more.

We are not made to go through life alone. Everything about us is designed to become stronger, happier, and more fulfilled when we have found our love, our partner, 

our matching puzzle piece.

The miracle is that sharing life actually makes life bigger. The arthmetic is magic. Real love always adds, it never subtracts. With love, we doubleour joys, divide our worries, and multiply our possibilities for a life of meaning, romance and adventure.

Yes, life was meant to be shared. Its not what we have in our life, but who we have in our life that counts. If you have found love, you have been given life's greatest gift. How will you celebrate it? How will you use it to grow?

How will you create something beautiful together?

Post-Wedding Fall Goals

because I love lists.

unplug from unnecessary technology (was SO relaxing to not have phone on for ENTIRE honeymoon. no texts, calls, facebook, twitter, even blogs...)

nest. make my little home well, homey-er.  (should be easy with so many lovely wedding gifts!)

turn off the tv. read, write, go outside.

cook more. and healthier. (because I'm a wife now).

The Wedding

I swear I will take some time to write about the wedding & honeymoon soon, but life comes back at your full force, and I am swamped.

All I will say is that it was the most beautiful, incredible, perfect, love-filled day. Absolute bliss.

Oh, and the honeymoon was fantastic ;-)

But here is a Sneak peek: father/daughter dance

A few photos from our big day

More to come....

Woke up at 4am, couldn't stop thinking about little wedding things I didn't want to forget. Could not fall back asleep. Finally, at 5:45am, I just sat up & started bawling. Poor Tyler had probably only had 4 hours of sleep at that point woke up to calm me down. I watched early morning cartoons until I had to get up for work.

While I was in the shower, Tyler made scrambled eggs & turkey bacon & poured me juice. He also had almond croissants warming in the oven.

Just got to work, opened my bag & saw this card.

Thanks honey. Amidst all of this planning, you have been my rock. Love you.

Um, guys...

Less than 2 weeks, I am getting married.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got TONS done yesterday (all thanks to Meg & Chat). Here is Meg assembling an archway for the ceremony.

I don't have much more to say. CHEERS!

A Quote from my Aunty M

"Sometimes we fall into annoyance. Sometimes we dive in. Maybe sometimes we can choose differently. Give people "the benefit of the doubt." On a beautiful walk in the park early this morning, I must have picked up 40 or so little cellophane juice box straw cover things. Never cared for litterers. Today, I picked them up differently. Thought of the people who might have picked up after me at times. Saw the Momma's who might have been tending to one child while another pair of little fingers opened their straw for the first time. Saw in my mind the sudden breeze that made it dance away. Made me feel differently. Give each other the benefit of the doubt. It works with big things, too; but maybe helps to practice on the little ones."
