Bouquets, boutonnieres, and blue bottles

Sounds like someone is having a wedding up in here. Well, yes. Yes we are. Okay, I am not, but still there is a wedding that is going to be happening. And with all of this wedding preparation, it has me thinking about my own wedding. If it is God’s will. For the last 3 days, lots and lots of man hours and yummy drinks drank have been happening. And to be on the last day is such a rewarding feeling. Granted, I have done small amounts of work comparatively to the many others that have been involved, but I was able to lend a hand where needed, and I feel honored.
Tomorrow two amazing people will stand before their Maker, their family, and their friends and pledge their lives to one another. And what a beautiful thing it all is. Is it necessary? Is all of this what some call “frivolity” necessary? No. But, how wonderful is it to spend time and energy on something that means such a great deal in sealing a life-long relationship. I like weddings. Of course, I try to stay away from them because then I get all sappy and blah blah blah. Kinda like I try to stay away from baby showers cause it just makes me want to have a baby. =)
I think I got carried away there thinking about the baby I may one day bring into the world. Anyway. I just want to say that it is such a privilege to watch these two people give everything they have to each other. What a commitment. I applaud them.
But I will say this...if I have to make another bouquet or boutonniere or tie another little ribbon around a bottle I might just scream. ;-) Just kidding...yeah maybe not.
Be blessed you two! Make this life what you can. Be honest, kind, loving, and genuinely caring toward each other. Keep your Father forever in your view. Don’t mistake a disagreement for a fight. Don’t discount the fights for they make you stronger. Don’t undercut the other to make yourself feel better. Don’t drown the other in self-pity, but rely on them for comfort. Don’t dredge up old wrongs once they have been forgiven. Don’t forget to give everything you have. Don’t forget to love...everyday.
I love you both very much. Be blessed beyond measure!

The sun will come out...when?

   I could have really used the sun today. You know that feeling between being in an okay mood and being in a not so okay mood? Well, I am there. And, I know for a fact that the sun would have pushed me to the side of okay...or maybe even taken me to great. No sun today. Just grey, blah weather. I hate it! It makes me doubt things. It makes me create things in my mind. It makes me think of the demeantors breeding bad juju.    I need the sun. Today has been more of a blah day than I have experienced in a long while. The weather isn't just hazy, I have become haze. The weather isn't just dank. I have become dank. The weather isn't just cold. I have become cold. So much so that the phone I answer at work would better serve me if thrown through the window in front of me. So much so that the cell phone I keep in touch with my friends would better serve me if broken.     SAD: seasonal affective disorder. I think most people know what this is...

What is love? Baby, I'm hurting...I'm hurting...🎶🎶

  Early last week was bad for white boy. He was injured and is probably left with a broken foot. Now, he hasn't been to the doctor and continues to walk and work and do all the things. He continues to also piss me off because he hasn't gone. Granted, I tend to be stubborn too, but if that would have happened to me and my foot looked like that, I would have been at the doctor's office first thing in the morning.   Having said that, that is all I can think about in the back of my mind. How much he is in pain and how much it sucks. I can't fix it, but I can get irritated and semi-yell at him for not going to have it checked out. Guess that's how I cope. I love him, but damn is it frustrating.   Sometimes I wonder how people show love. Sometimes I wonder if people show love in grandiose ways or if the subtlety of love is what is true love. Sure, I mean when he proposed that was a good indicator that he loves me. When I said yes is also a good indicator that I love him...

3000 miles...

      ...and I am exhausted. Just a little over an hour and a half ago, I reached 3000 miles on my trip, and as I sit here in this hotel room, in Fort Stockton, TX, I am realizing how tired I am. Isn't vacation supposed to be refreshing and relaxing? Yet, I feel neither. I feel as though I am running on fumes, like my car was moments ago before I gave her a drink.       I spent that last hour thinking about all the things I have done, all the people I have seen, all the wonderful food I have eaten, and I realize I am so blessed. I have everything I need and all the love and support a person could ask for, and because of that, I am truly blessed.       It took everything in my power to turn on my computer and type this, so this post is uber short. But, I wanted to thank everyone, thus far, who has extended a gracious hand to host me and be there for me in just a manner to show me love. I love each and everyone of you. (I am sure this will no...
