I forgot all about my original blog spot. I am going to attempt to update this all in a few shots. So bear with me, some of these may turn out very long...but they're two in one...

Marriage Quotes... Current mood: loved Category: Romance and RelationshipsThose of you who know me best know that I have a few notebooks filled with quotes on topics from friendship to love to heartbreak and life in general...today I decided to look for quotes that pertain to marriage and here are the ones I will be adding to my new quote book...please enjoy.
"In marriage we marry a mystery, an other, a counterpart. In a sense the person we marry is a stranger about whom we have a magnificent hunch. The person we choose to marry is someone we love, but his depths, her intimate intricacies - we will come to know only in the long unraveling of time. We know enough about our beloved to know that we love him, to imagine that, as time goes on, we will come to enjoy her even more, become even more of ourselves in her presence. To our knowledge we add our willingness to embark on the journey of getting to know him, of coming to see her, even so wonderfully more.Swept up by attraction, attention, fantasy, hope, and a certain happy measure of recognition, we agree to come together for the mysterious future, to see where the journey will take us. This companionship on life's journey is the hallmark of marriage, its natural province, its sweetest and most primal gift.In promising always, we promise each other time. We promise to exercise our love, to stretch it large enough to embrace the unforeseen realities of the future. We promise to learn to love beyond the level of our instincts and inclinations, to love in foul weather as well as good, In hard times as well as when we are exhilarated by the pleasures of romance.We change because of these promises. We shape ourselves according to them; we live in their midst and live differently because of them. We feel protected because of them. We try some things and resist trying others because, having promised, we feel secure. Marriage, the bond, makes us free to see, to be, to love. Our souls are protected; our hearts have come home."Daphne Rose Kingma

Just feel like writing... Current mood: vibrant Category: Romance and Relationships ...not sure about what but here goes...
He gets me. He truly understands me and where I’m coming from. Even the things I do and say that irk the shit out of him are okay because he loves me. He loves me simply because I love him. That’s the best part of us. The easy acceptance and open communication. Knowing that no matter what either of us does or says the other person will not walk away. That we’ll stay and we’ll listen and we’ll watch and we’ll continue to love one another. We understand that hard times will come. The purpose will be to strengthen our bond. We know that we’ll have moments of miscommunication that may test us and push us to our limits, but without them we’ll not be able to appreciate all that is wonderful in our life.
I can’t remember a time when I looked forward to being a mom; not just having a baby, but having Chris’ baby. The joy and anticipation I have for that moment is beyond measure...I think my great friend Laura-Jean can be credited with giving me or rather with showing me how wonderful and exciting a new life can be. Her joy and enthusiasm could make anyone yearn to experience motherhood. Best wishes and kudos to you Mrs. Bowers.
He’s silly, argumentative, smart, passionate, aggravating, playful, charming, stubborn, peaceful, loyal, protective, adventurous, loving, easy-going, mischievous, talkative, affectionate, chivalrous, comedic, witty, sensitive, intuitive...the list is endless really. Every day is something new with him. Every day I learn something new about myself through him. Finally, my mate is with my soul.
