A love letter or two

Blogtember topic for the day: Write a public love letter to someone in your life. It doesn't necessarily need to be romantic.

Who would your love letter go to?  I asked myself this question this morning as I started thinking about the topic, the obvious came to mind one to my husband of course, then I started thinking well maybe I could write two?  So two it will be, one to my husband and one to my best friend.

My husband-

Where would my life be without you?  I honestly do not want to know the answer to that question.  You have made me the happiest woman in world, I know that is so cliché but it is very true.  As a child I dreamt that I would find my "prince charming" and he would give me my "fairy tale", you are my prince and you have given me to the best of your ability my fairy tale.  I love our life, I love the love we have, I love how you work so very hard to provide for our little family that we have right now.  You prove over and over everyday that you are so madly in love with me.  Some days I can not believe the amount of love you have for me, what have I done to make you love me like this?  I still can not believe we have been married a year already and that we will be together for 3 years in February.  You have changed my life in so many wonderful ways.

Please know my dear husband that I love you to death and I am so proud to call you my husband and for me to be your wife. You are my soul mate, my lover for life, the father of our one day children.  You are the man that has given me everything that I could ever ask for in life.  I look forward to what the future holds for us, I know we will have an amazing life together. This first year has been a whirlwind of ups and downs but I would not trade it for all the "sunshine and roses" most newlyweds make the first year look.  I love you so much!  Thank you, husband for being my true best friend for life!

Love your wife,
Fire ball

Trisha-

Can you believe we have been friends for almost 5 years?  When you sat at my table in class Jan 2009 I never in my life figured we would be such amazing friends.  In the 4.5 years I have known you I have spilled my whole entire life to you, like I was making up for lost time.  You have proven to me that you are there by my side in this friendship, even though at times I have turned from you.  To this day I still can not pin point why exactly we are such amazing friends, we are so different from one another.  Maybe it is the balance we bring to each other, you show me that I can let loose and have fun a bit more and I bring you down from your "anxiety girl". 

Even though it has been a few months since we have had a real "Friday" night I enjoy our pretend sessions we have.  I enjoy our laughs, our talks and of course your guacamole.  You are an amazing friend and I appreciate our friendship.  I know we will be friends till we are gray and wrinkled.  Until that day though, I thank you for the commitment of friendship you have shown so far.

I love you dear friend.

Self portrait

As I was browsing through blogs yesterday I came across a blogging challenge.  It is a challenge where I blog everyday in September except for weekends, I can make up blogs at any time, but not a requirement.  Since I am starting the challenge late I will start with yesterdays blogtember post "self portrait".  

This was more challenging than I thought it would be; where to take the picture, how to "pose", should I edit the photo?  I decided to take it in my bedroom against a white wall and not edit the photo.  This is who I am on a daily basis, jeans and a t-shirt.   I got a haircut three days ago and I am loving the new look, I have also been working on losing weight.  Today's self portrait is a good perspective of who I am right at this very moment; a housewife, an aunt, a babysitter, an aspiring blogger, as well as an aspiring photographer.  I have many daily rolls but at the end of each day I can say that I am happy and in love.

 

 

As I work on my blog, change it and improve the image and the type of writing I do, I hope you all continue to return.  I promise that it will get better than this!

Happy 1st wedding anniversary!

That's right, you read that correctly Bill and I have been married for one year as of September 1st.  It has been an amazing first year with many highs as well as lows, to celebrate we decided to take a trip.  We went on a mini road trip to the East coast and stayed in Atlantic City at Caesars. We had a beautiful view of the ocean as well as the city from the 37th floor.  I have never been to the East coast and thought this would be the perfect time to do so, I had some comp rooms available which meant a FREE stay for us, 4 days 3 nights.

Our amazing ocean view

 

We spent 4 days relaxing, drinking and spending time with one another, walking up and down the boardwalk, basically spent 4 days doing nothing.  It was a much needed vacation as our lives have become very busy over the past few months.   On our last day we spent a few hours down by the ocean, played in the sand and caught a perfect sunset.

 

                                                                  

 

Overall it was an amazing trip, I look forward to another road trip with my husband.   It turns out that I am the better long distance driver out of the two of us.  I actually enjoyed the driving more than I thought I would, probably because it was mostly beautiful scenery.
