I believe in God and my family and the reality that you have to lose your life to find it. And I believe that you have found your life when you find a song that you can sing in your own company.

6 months ago this weekend We said I do. We stood with our toes in the sand in paradise surrounded by love and committed our lives to one another. Forever. Ike, you are the only person who could have healed me. I was never truly happy a full day in my life before I met you and since I met you I don't think I've ever spent a full day unhappy. I find this both pathetic and perfect.

Trying to come up with words as to how I feel I kept going back to my vows:

"When we first met I never thought we'd be standing where we are now, but as time passed, I began o see our random meeting was really our destiny. From our first "italian family date" that tuned into an entire weekend together, I knew you were different that anyone I've met before. I felt comfortable and safe. You could see I was broken and you brought the light back into me. Patiently you waited while I healed and our relationship deepened. Ike, I think you are the most supportive, generous, loving, unselfish person I know. You've showed me what it means to be loved and loved, wholly, without conditions, all the time. Through your loving eyes, I see myself as I want to be; I feel so free. Your love has given me strength and courage to chase my dreams, and confidence to believe they are within my reach. I look in your eyes and see, my best friend, my better half, and my soul mate. We have such a magical yet real relationship. You alone can look at me and know my thoughts, my feelings and exactly what I need. Sometimes I think you know me better than I know myself. And I know you feel the same about me. Ike, through high tide and low tide I promise you in front of our family, friends and the world..that I will love you with my whole heart, soul, and body. I will be faithful, your best friend, and your partner as we go through this life together. I vow to honor you, cherish you, respect you, laugh with you, cry with you, and support you in your dreams and goals as long as we both shall live. I choose you, Ike, everyday."

I'm looking forward to the beach with you this weekend, but I'm happy with you anywhere. You are the light of my life and my biggest blessing. Thank YOU for loving me back.

Lastly; here is our wedding video :)

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble, it’s a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

I'm sure most everybody at this point have seen the Kony2012 video. If you haven't I urge you to. I watched this video yesterday and it broke my heart. It's been weighing heavy on my mind all day and I have vowed to do my part to end this war. No child should ever endure what these kids have seen and been through. Let's change the world. Today. 

My hair has turned wavy when I don't blow it dry, for a girl whose always had stock straight no volume hair this is BIG news.

Every time Finley gets a new baby the first thing he does is chew the ears off. If you don't know Finley he is deaf. Born this way; I think he's still trying to let us know if he can't hear neither should his babies.

Here's my outfit I wore to work today. It's about 60 degrees so I wore knee high Vince Camuto boots, MER jeans, a H&M tank covered with a Jessica Simpson blazer.

Have a happy Tuesday!
