Wedding Week! - Quotes

Well, J and I have been married for 6 months as of yesterday!  And it still feels like yesterday, to be honest.  I figured it would be fun to do a themed "Wedding Week" since I love sharing those stories and looking at those pictures. 

 Getting engaged, planning a wedding and getting married was such an incredible season in our lives. It was filled with such joy and stress and love and everything in between.  That year-long period of planning seemed at times to fly by and all I could remember thinking was, "Savor this.  Enjoy it.".  And then there were the other times....  In any case, I look back on our engagement  wedding, parties, family and friends with such joy and love.  We are truly, truly blessed and looking back makes me smile and my heart happy.

 I'm obviously in LOVE with quotes and I knew that I wanted to incorporate them into our wedding somehow.  My first find was a guest book which I wasn't originally going to do, but as soon as I saw it I HAD to have it.  Every other page has a quote on it!  Fitting, no?  Then there was the question of how to incorporate some of my favorite sayings into our actual reception without over doing it.  A friend helped me make frames for the tables at the reception with quotes that I felt described our love. Nothing too in your face, but they were totally unique, really funky and I loved them.  Still trying to figure out what to do with them now, though!


These were our wedding day quotes:

"True love never lives happily ever after - true love has no ending."
- K. Knight

"If the essence of my being has caused a smile to have appeared on your face or a touch of joy within your heart, then, in living, I have made my mark."
- Thomas L. Odem, Jr.

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
- Lao Tzu

"You and me together, we can do anything, baby."
- Dave Mathews Band (an excerpt from "our song")

"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."
- Dr. Suess

"For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart.  It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul."
- Judy Garland

"Piglet: 'How do you spell love?'
Pooh: 'You don't spell it, you feel it.'"

"He's more myself than I am.  Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."
- Emily Bronte

Goodbye.

 “I don’t know if I should congratulate you or console you.” - Craig “How about both?” - Me This was a conversation in our kitchen earlier this week. After a year and a half of weekly therapy, I had my last session with my therapist Tuesday. Not because I was over it or because it wasn’t working or because he retired. Nope. Because we got to a place where we could both say I’ve got the tools I need to move on. I have to say that there is no timeline for therapy and every situation is unique. I moved on from intensive therapy with my therapist because that it was worked for ME. I am certainly no expert and I have a feeling this isn’t the end of my therapy forever, but I do know that my experience with the right person allowed me to heal in ways I literally never thought possible. And it gave me the experience of a healthy “goodbye”. I was never prepared for that, so when we set an end date (not-so-coincidentally my Nanna’s birthday), it was hard to process. No one talks about

It's a Funny Feeling

Let's be honest, I've been riding my bike more this year than the last 3 years COMBINED. While that's sad for the last couple of summers, it's great for this one. And this girl.  Thanks to some riding buddies who are calm and patient, I've been able to get out and ride more in the city whereas before even the thought of riding in Buckhead scared the living daylights out of me. I've encouraged myself when I really, REALLY don't want to ride and would prefer to go home after a long day and drink a glass of wine. I've pushed myself to go a little further than I felt I could. I faced some fears. Riding over I-285 during rush hour traffic giggling because I was having a way better time than those commuters! I was out this evening by myself on a local rail-to-trail and it was glorious. The trail was quiet with very few people on it, the weather was great and I just felt good! I trucked along at my best pace yet and kept thinking to myself how

Patsy.

A friend sent this video to me and when I watched it, I was struck more by the feelings it brought up around the content than the story itself.  Christen Reighter's story is an interesting and frustrating insight into what it means to NOT want a child. I invite you to watch this. Her experience is not unique and needs to be talked about. Even if you have kids. Or want them. What struck me most was what she says during her TedTalk: "I have believed having children was an extension of womanhood, not the definition." Truth is, I've been struggling with this lately. Not the fact that I'm longing for children. I'd be fibbing if I said there is a very tiny part of me that wonders what this will feel like when I get to the end of life. HOWEVER. That feeling isn't strong enough for me to want to find out. I don't feel like having children should be thought of as a "keeping the fingers crossed" kind of situation. If you aren't sure you'l
