This weekend we showered my best friend with love, laughter and gifts in celebration of her upcoming wedding. I feel so honored to not only have the privilege of standing up with her on her wedding day, but to have celebrated with her as she received so much kindness and was radiating with the bride-to-be glow.
I wish I had pictures to show her happiness and the happiness of all the wonderful women who were there. It was truly a beautiful day. I do not want to neglect to record these moments, pictures or no pictures.
Life is too precious to forget to cherish, pictures or not. Friends are too precious to neglect to thank them for their gift of their presence, love and support in our lives. If this blog is nothing else, I hope it is simply a demonstration of the joys of life.
For my best friend, who for over 15 years has walked through life with me and allowed me to walk with her.
My husband did something so great this weekend. It is his story to tell, but I will just say I was so proud of him. I got teary as I watched him in that lake, doing something he has waited many years to do. As he dunked under the water I felt immense pride that I was there and I was lucky enough to be his wife. I honestly wanted to walk around saying "Do you see that young man? That happy, brave, thoughtful and kind man? I'm his wife. Isn't he awesome?"
Happy Monday.

Here We Go
Ben: "You should start a blog."
Me: "Ben, no one cares about blogs that aren't about babies or renovating houses. We don't have a baby or a house."
Ben: "But you have great ideas and thoughts. I think you should share them."
Me: "We'll see."
My ever-supportive husband is probably the reason behind this. I honestly would have waited until we had a bun in the oven, but I think I may have things to share now even before I have stories of babies first steps or how I got baby food on my shirt today and went to Target like that.
Hopefully this will become a positive outlet to share our lives in however much detail I decide is necessary. Each post I hope to mention something I am grateful for, as a way to remind me to stay focused on what really matters. I may forget to do this sometimes, but I hope as I continue to write regularly I stick with this goal.
For my husband, who inspires and encourages me even in the little things.
