kindle

via
I seriously love this thing.  Love, love, LOVE it!!  I am obsessed with reading, and this little guy fits right in my purse.  I looked into the Barnes and Noble Nook, but I just liked the Kindle so much better.  It is always with me, and I read pretty much everywhere.  I talked my doctor into getting one for his wife :-)  They ended up fighting for it so now they have two!  And my sister who isn't a huge fan of reading is thinking about getting one to get into reading.  I have always loved my Kindle.  But I love it extra lately.  Maybe because I read a real book and had to carry that thing around in my purse all week.  It was HUGE!  I wish I was wrapped in blankies on my couch hanging out with my Kindle.  Work is getting old.  And cold.  I don't have a heater in here so it's a little chilly.  It doesn't help that I am such a wimp about the cold.  Is that a girl thing??  I kinda wonder if guys are really freezing all the time too, but they just like to act macho.  Maybe?  Plus, they like to keep the thermostat at below freezing temperatures.  It's fun for them.  Let's go on strike.  Maybe we could pass a law that says if it's cooler that 75 outside every building must have a heater and it has to be kept at 72.  In January of this year I brought a thermometer to work.  It was 14 degrees.  I may have complained about this before.  I will probably complain about it again.  It hasn't gotten any better and I haaaaate being cold!!  Is it just me, or is it a lot harder to make yourself get outta your nice warm bed and go to work during the winter??

 

time off

My new ornament

Time off work is the best.  And much needed.  That place has been rough lately.  It's been a good four days, but they go so fast!!  I decided last minute to try black Friday shopping.  That was a nightmare.  My MIL and I stayed up and headed out at midnight.  The line to check out at Wal-Mart was a least four hours.  The line just to get into Old Navy had a least 300 people in it, and they'd been open for two hours.  So we gave up.  After 48 minutes.  Ha!!  I will pay an extra $20 for something before I will stand in the cold all night for it.  Plus I hate crowds.  I don't know how people do that.  Later in the afternoon my lover took me shopping and got me my Christmas presents.  He got me a new lens that I have been wanting for my camera and an essentials kit with photoshop and a new camera battery and lots of other things.  We decided not to do surprises this year... we wanted to make sure the other got exactly what they wanted.  He was nervous about getting the lens I asked for, I was nervous he wouldn't like the grill I picked.  So yesterday we went to Lowe's and he picked out his grill and we loaded it up and brought it home.  I still have a few little things to get him, but I am pretty much done!!  And the rest of my family is easy.  After getting his grill we went ornament hunting.  He buys me a new ornament each year... it's tradition :-)  I loved the green on this one.  It's so pretty!!

My dog has only tackled my tree twice since Thursday.  A mouse crawled out of my fireplace so I sat up all night with the blow gun waiting for it.  I like blow guns.  I love food, but I am actually excited to get back on my diet and back to the gym tomorrow.  I wore leggings for the first time yesterday.  I have drank at least 20 cups of hot chocolate this week.  With whip cream.

thanksgiving

I did my bridals underwater

Last night...
The drive was icy.  The weather was cold.  Shopping was fun.  Dinner was yummy.  The Jazz game was fabulous.  The blood Marys were delish.  The hotel was fancy.  It was such a good night!!  We loved our little get away.

Today is Thanksgiving.  What are you doing to celebrate?  Whatever you do I hope you have a fabulous day surrounded with people you love!!  Be safe!

a little bit of this. a little bit of that.

Aren't these the cutest buddies you've ever seen?  They smell so good too!!

So our "blizzard" was quite the joke.  That was nothin' for Utah!!  Hey Utah, remember how we deal with snow every year and most of us are really good at driving in it?  Yeah.  Not a big deal.  It IS November after all.  I might not have gone over 20 mph the whole way home, but that is normal for this time of the year.  We got this.

I am sick of people having no compassion for others.  Like when I have a bad day at work.  And all I hear is "be grateful you have a job."  I am.  I am veeeeeerry grateful.  But sometimes this place sucks.  Sometimes I have a bad day.  And sometimes, I am gonna complain about it!!  I know others have it worse for me.  And I feel very sad for them.  But just because it could be worse doesn't make it any better.  When the mean lady I work with takes two hours of my work and destroys it and tells my boss I didn't do anything all morning, you bet I am furious.  I am not thinking, "You know, this is awesome because at least I have a job!"  It still suuuuucks!!

Remember how I planned a fun date for my lover?  No?  Maybe because it's been planned for months because I plan everything way to far in advance.  But that day is here!  I am taking him to dinner, a Jazz game, and I got us a hotel in Salt Lake City.  One of my best friends, Kira, is letting my doggies out and checking on the house for us.  I love friends.

Confessions:
I had cake for dinner last night.  With an oreo on top.  And I haven't been to the gym all week.  Judge me.
I have hit snooze at least six times all week long.  Like to the point where I have to decide if I'd like to brush my teeth, or be on time to work.  Don't worry, I was late for work.
I have a terrible potty mouth.  What do you expect when I work with a bunch of people who say the "f word" every other word.  I'm workin' on it though.
Keys... where to even start.  I locked myself outta my car on Sunday, so when my lover had me take the truck to my hair appointment yesterday he made me take five keys.  Seriously.  I told him a was a bit much.  He said something sarcastic about me being a scatter brain... he has a point.  After my appointment I dropped the key in a snow bank.  I dug for it for 25 minutes so he couldn't say I told you so.  I might have to have my fingers amputated... Frostbite ha.  I thought I did pretty good.  Then I got a text at 5:00 am from him saying he made it to work safely.  And that my car keys were on the back seat of his truck.  Awesome.  I might be half retarded.

 

kids are creepy

My nephew jumping off the bleachers!

The other day my nephew was sitting on the couch.  He had his head facing down, like his chin on his chest, and his eyes rolled up to the top of his head so he could still see in front of him.  After sitting that way for like ten minutes my sister asked him what he is doing.  He didn't look up.  He didn't move.  He just calmly said, "They're here."  She asked, "Who is here?"  This time he looked her right in the eye and in a nervous voice told her, "I don't know.  But they're not human."  What!!  She asked him what he was talking about and he just ignored her.  He started playing with his toys like nothing happened.  Creepy!  Ugh... gives me the chills!!  I used to be a creepy kid too.  I still remember it like it was yesterday, and I still swear these thing really happened... we had these two recliners that sat side by side and I remember I always felt like I had to sit in the one on the left.  I used to sit there and cry really hard.  When my mom would ask what was wrong I'd ask her "to make that man go away."  When she'd ask what man I'd tell her, "The one with the hole in his head."  He had a huge hole in his head and he would sit and talk to me all the time.  He was never mean.  He'd usually ask how school was or something.  I never answered him because he freaked me out so much.  I remember seeing people walking up and down our hallway.  A few years ago I was riding in a car and there was a couple about 15 holding hands walking down the middle of the road together.  The person driving wasn't slowing down.  We were about ten feet away when I screamed.  They were two inches in front of us when we stopped.  I turned and said, "You almost hit those people!!"  When I looked forward half a second later they weren't there anymore.  Maybe some of us are Mediums.  Or just crazy.  Who knows.  But to me, it is real.

How do you feel about this storm they say is coming in?  Everyone is getting real nervous and getting 72 hours kits together.  I have an appointment after work...  I hope getting home isn't a nightmare.  I do hope that work is canceled tomorrow.  I'd really love a snow day.  I have NEVER had one!!  If there is no work tomorrow I am sleeping in, drinking hot chocolate, reading by the fire, and decorating my Christmas tree!!  Sounds like such a good day.  If Mother Nature could clear up by 4:00 pm that would be great though.  I'd really like to go to the Jazz game.

our weekend

That guy makes me laugh.

~ finished my first wedding cake ~ finally got my nails done again ~ raced a creeper in a crappy rice burner because he wouldn't stop staring at me ~ celebrated Thanksgiving with my family in Gunnison ~ had so much fun spending time with my family after dinner ~ stayed in a hotel (I love hotels) ~ two photography sessions ~ locked myself out of my car again (at least it wasn't running this time, right?) ~ met a new friend at my favorite coffee shop ~ took a nice hot bath ~ watched lots of football (freakin' Raiders!!) ~ prayed this week would be better than last ~

 

curly hair

Last week I learned how to curl my hair with my straightener.  I have never spent less than three hours curling my hair.  This took 20 minutes.  I love it!  It even looks better than when I do it with the curling iron.  Sorry about the blurry pics, I used my phone.  But you get the idea.  It was so easy, and so fast!!  Plus, I slept on it last night.  It still looks just like this today after rolling around on it all night.  I didn't even have to turn on my straightener to fix anything.  My hair has never held a curl more than a few hours.  And that is just with walking around.  If I slept on it I would usually look pretty frightening in the morning.  I am soooo excited!  My husband has never seen my hair curled because it's been like four years since the last time I did it.  He absolutely loved it.  He couldn't stop playing with it all night.  That might be my favorite part about curly hair :-)

saucey

Sometimes my lover tells me I am a freakin' weirdo and there is something wrong with me.  Maybe because sometimes I drink hot sauce straight from the bottle.  But only with good reason.  My favorite part of food is sauce.  It's the best!  I smother everything.  Most people crave pizza... I crave something to dip in my ranch.  I also looooove spicy food.  It is my favorite.  So of course, spicy sauce is the best thing ever.  I am really picky about it though and there is ONE brand that I will use.  It is my favorite and I eat it on everything.  Burritoes, sandwiches, cheese burgers, chicken, veggies, mac and cheese, top ramen, fish, tacos, burritoes, enchiladas, quesadillas, soup, bread, chips... everything.  I love love LOVE it.  Well about three months when we ran out, we went to the store to get some and there was none.  It's not where we usually buy it though so I didn't think anything of it.  After checking six stores and not finding it I got a little depressed.  We have bought lots of other kinds for me to try and I hate every single one.  It's been a terrible week.  I haven't been very happy and I am just ready for a weekend.  So when I got home yesterday to a nice surprise, I was feeling a lot better about this week.  I got home, we kissed like usual and he told me to check the fridge.  I'd had a bad day so I was expecting a Hershey bar.  Oh no.  A bottle of Crystal!!  It was the best news all week.  So I ripped the seal off and poured it all over my tongue.  I have the BEST husband EVER!!  You know what else that guy did?  He bought every single bottle they had.  He is my FAVORITE!!

 

i'm selfish. obviously.

My lover and I.  He hates this picture.  It's one of my favorites.

Before I tell you this story, I should probably tell you that our ridiculous conversations are never serious.  Just hilarious.  Maybe you had to be there?  Anyway, I finished working on my cake for the night and finally got to spend some time with my man.  I changed into comfies and sat on the couch.  Like usual, as soon as I sat on the couch he handed me the remote.  That's true love right there.  I started scrolling through the menu to see what was on TV.  I noticed myself squinting really bad.  I told him how bad my contacts were and I think it was time for a new prescription.  He said, "Or we could just get a bigger TV.  Then you wouldn't even need new contacts."  I told him that the TV wasn't the only thing I looked at and it might be more beneficial to get contacts.  And thanks for the input.  Of course.  So he told me that I am selfish.  He was looking into the option that was best for the whole family.  You know, me, him and the dogs.  I guess the dogs just don't appreciate football on the TV that's almost as tall as me already.

 

childhood memories

Me and my momma in May

Did you ever get lost in the grocery store when you were a kid?  Remember how it was the scariest thing ever?  A stranger would take you to customer service, they'd page your mother over the speaker system, everyone was looking at you, your parents were a little embarrassed that they lost you....  It's kind of a big deal.  Most kids get lost because they see something they gotta have and wander off.  Not me.  I had a virus in my eyes and couldn't keep them open very long.  My mom was holding my hand, leading me through the store.  How sweet, huh?  Well I guess she forgot about me!  I stood in the same place for like an hour with my eyes closed.  It was probably really only two or three minutes, but it was a long time for a kid.  So I asked her what she was doing and she didn't respond.  I opened my eyes and coudln't find her.  So I blindly made my way to the front of the store.  I remember sitting on the customer service desk crying while everyone looked at me.  It maybe traumatized me for life.  I'll remember to remind her of this at a family function in front of everyone.  Good thing we have one coming up!

I'll just be working on my very first wedding cake for the rest of the week.  Check out my cake blog this weekend if you wanna see it.  I will schedule it to post after the wedding, so Saturday at like 9:00 pm.

 

things to look forward to

This is fletcher trying to figure out what my camera is.  Silly little guy.

This weekend wasn't a very good one.  It was really frustrating.  Mostly because I don't feel good, and I think my dog has pneumonia.  And my new ring didn't come.  But there were some good things too.  Like I got to sleep in on Sunday.  And football.  Oh, and I started my first wedding cake yesterday too!!  I can't wait to see it all finished and pretty.  I am determined to have a better week than the weekend was.  I am going to keep smiling, and I guess it'll all work out.  Besides, I am sooooo excited for next week.  You already know this because of the holiday.  But that whole week is going to be great.  Friday I get my nails done.  I took them off to do this wedding cake because I want it to be perfect and they have been sore and swollen since.  Sunday I have two photography sessions.  Monday my lover is taking me out for Monday night football to a place he has been wanting to take me for at least a year.  Tuesday I get my hair done.  I really wish that stuff would grow faster.  It's been two years and it's grown about five inches....  Last time it took seven years to get down to my waist.  Why did I cut it off??  And Wednesday I am taking my lover on a fabulous date that I have been excited about for months!!  I also decided to not take any orders next week, so I have the whole week to just relax with that guy.  Have you seen my latest?  Check it out HERE.
I am already so excited for Christmas!!

Thanksgiving tradition

Part of our ceremony

Washing our hands clean of the past and beginning our marriage with a fresh start.

Have you ever tried boot camp?  I did it for the first time today and I kind of thought I was going to die.  Hardest class ever!

For Thanksgiving my family all gets together the Saturday before.  And when I say all of us, that means like 50 people.  Seriously.  My family is HUGE!  I love it so much.  And what is better is that we are all so close.  My grandma has seven girls!!  Which means I have six aunts and lots of cousins.  Every year my grandma makes the turkey, one of my aunts makes the best rolls.  Another makes the best mashed potatoes.  Another makes the best pumpkin rolls.  Best green bean casserole.  Best deviled eggs.  I am a big fan of food.  I am a fat kid at heart.  Food + Family = Best day ever.  We all get together and cook and eat appetizers and have some wine.  After dinner we go around the house and everyone announces what they are thankful for.  Then we all sit around and talk and hang out.  It's kind of rare that we all get together like that.  So Thanksgiving is the best time of the year.  Then on the actual day of Thanksgiving we all go with our husbands, and some just do their own small celebration at home.  We go to my MIL and she makes a fabulous dinner.  She always makes celery filled with cheese 'cuz she knows it my lover's favorite.  Then we all sit around and watch football and be lazy.  The day after Thanksgiving my lover and I go with some friends and cut down our Christmas tree.  Then we I decorate the house.  We also avoid going to the store as much as possible too!!  What are you holiday traditions?

This year I am thankful for my husband.  He is such a good man.  And he is so supportive.  He has been amazing with me going back to school, and getting my cake business going.  I have been crazy busy and he never complains.  He sits and keeps me company while I bake and make icing.  When my mixer burns out he runs to the store and grabs me another one.  When I fill cupcakes he sits and tells me I am going to be doing that to somebody's arms in a few months, minus the frosting.  Ok, so that last one isn't very helpful.  But he makes me laugh.  I couldn't have asked for a better guy to spend forever with.

so the lion fell in love with the lamb

It's getting real cold here and I miss these.
And I am kind of obsessed with taking pictures of my wedding ring with things.

I want odd things.  I don't know what it is, but I get these ideas in my head and I don't stop looking until I find the perfect one.  Sometimes it takes years.  Same with things I want to do.  Sometimes they are a little odd.  I have always wanted:
a clear glass coffee mug
to help with somebody's proposal
a poncho
a real picnic basket
to dance in the rain
mittens... the ones where the top flips off and gives you fingerless gloves
an all black cat
to run a marathon
to go to a restaurant just for dessert and coffee


I have the sweetest mother-in-law!  Remember how I was dying to get a scentsy buddy??  Well my lion came yesterday!  I love him.  Any ideas for names?  Well, they also have a lamb that I thought was super cute.  My sweet MIL knows I am obsessed with the Twilight series.  Have you read them??  Anyway, you know the part where they talk about the lion falling in love with the lamb?  Connie searched through her books until she found that part and wrote it all down.  Then she ordered me the lamb so they'd get here on the same day and made me a little note with the quote from the book :-)  It was such a sweet idea!!  Unfortunately, there was a little ordering mishap and the girl accidentally ordered the elephant, so my lamb won't be here until next week.  It's that thought that counts though!!  Love her!

My most favorite holiday is going to be here so sooooon!!  My family will be celebrating it a week from tomorrow!

nights as newlyweds

Do you know what newlyweds do when they are all alone at night??
I must warn you, it's disgusting.
My lover pinched a nerve is his back and it was hurting him.  So we got the fire going and made a nice bed in front of it.  I went and got pillows while he laid out blankets.  I came back and started kissing him and took off his shirt.  He laid in front of the fireplace and I sat on his bum and spread lotion all over his back.  It was around 9:30 p.m.  Late.  So as I was sitting there running my hands all over his hot bod, I couldn't stop yawning.  And of course, I was looking down watching where I was rubbing.  You know what happens when you look down while you yawn?  You drool.  All over your half naked husband.  Then you fall on the ground laughing like a loon.  And he tells you how disgusting you are, with a huge smile on his face while you wipe off his back.
He asked me what was the matter with me.
I told him, "I'm classy."
We are sexy.

re-doing my blog

My blog is a little out of control right now.  Sorry, I am trying to make it look nice.  I need to go back and change the colors of the font on all my posts so that they match.  Is that going to repost every post to your reader?  I hope not.  If it does, sorry!  It just looks so scattered and unco-ordinated.  It's driving me crazy.
I decided to start a dream journal.  Writing about things always makes me feel better.  I am not quite sure what I am hoping to accomplish, but I guess we'll see what happens.  I want to get a dream catcher.  Maybe they don't really work, and it's just all in your head.  But that's where the dreams come from too.  I guess it's worth a shot.  What else can I do...
I am such a wussy.  Or the world is just too messed up.  Maybe both.  But on my way to lunch today I drove passed a homeless man.  So I ordered him some food too.  On my way back I had to drive passed him three times before I dared to stop and roll down my window.  I kept thinking about him killing me.  He was a real nice guy though.  He was very grateful.  He thanked me about ten times and kept saying "God bless you."  As I drove away he was feeding french fries to his alarmingly thin dog.  I just wanted to hug him... but that was probably going a little far since I could barely roll down my window.  Plus I was already five minutes late getting back to work because I kept having to turn back around.  Once I saw a blind man trying to cross a busy road.  I wanted to stop and help him but I was too scared and I always felt like a jerk for it.  I guess this starts to make up for it a little....

in-laws

(I love this guy)

I am getting sick of these nightmares.
Last night was horrible.
I think I'd prefer being skinned.
I hate to be negative, but it's going to be a long day.
I feel terrible.
Like I haven't slept in three months.

Last night was fabulous though!
I had a really good time.
I need a wedding ring that I can wear under rubber gloves for school.
So I asked my mother-in-law if she wanted to go to the mall and look around with me.
We ended up shopping for about four hours.
She decided to Christmas shop for me while we were there.
I felt bad though because she spoils me!!
On Christmas morning I probably won't be acting surprised...
Because by then I will really have forgotten what she got.
I have already forgot most of it.
I am so spacey.
And we got me such a beautiful ring.
It's a pearl in the center with a ruby on each side.
Ruby is Josh's birthstone.
It had diamonds on the side so I had it changed and I don't get it until Friday.
Just one more thing to look forward to this week!!
I can't wait to see it.
When I married Josh, I got the best in-laws I could have ever hoped for.
I love them all so much!
No wonder my lover turned out so great.
Tonight that sweet guy is making me salmon for dinner.
And I will be baking all night.
The week is half over.
The best part of the week is almost here!!

nightmares

The picture has nothing to do with this post.
I just really like it.
And I need more pictures...

I need a dream dictionary.
To analyze these wacko dreams I have.
It's been every night for three months.
Minus maybe two or three.
They are terrible!!
And so, so, so vivid.
They seem very real.
I wake up and sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between the dream and reality.
I wake up and feel like I never went to bed.
I toss and turn all night long.
I elbow my husband...
Poor guy.
I am so tired lately.
I can barely stand it.
And I dread going to bed every night.
If I tell you about them, promise not to think I am twisted??
Sometimes I wonder myself.
Here goes...
My lover and his brother were de-feathering a turkey.  When they got the leg bare, it was a human baby leg.
Swimming around in a big, dark lake with cliffs all around me.  No way out.
My lover is ALWAYS mean in my dreams.  All the mean things somebody could do... he does it.  I am giving him a complex.
I ran a Wal-Mart bag over in my car, got home and the news was saying somebody threw their baby in the street in a Wal-Mart bag.  Still alive.  A car running it over killed it....  I woke up bawling.
I have a terrible fear of anything dead.  Lakes scare me.  You know there are bodies in there.  And at night I dream about swimming through them.
The latest, most horrifying one was I was getting skinned.  Alive.  It was so real.  I woke up and my skin was on fire.  But it was still there.  I checked.  Four times.
I told you you'd think I'm twisted!!
Know any remedies?
I am ordering a dream catcher.
The only thing that has helped so far is a muscle relaxer.
But that's not a good idea...

weekend

Weekends are my favorite.
They are soooo nice.
I finally got a relaxing weekend, and I even got to sleep in on Sunday.
And guess what....
Today is a GOOD day!
I don't remember the last time I said that about a Monday.
But the Raiders won yesterday.
It's nice and stormy today.
My favorite holiday is in a couple weeks.
I get my nails done in a week and a half.
And my scentsy buddy is on his way!!
I got the lion.
What should I name it?

The closer school gets, the more terrified I am about it.
I don't know how I am going to watch myself stick a needle into somebody.
Giving shots is easy.
I can get real close, then look away for the actual penetration.
Watching it though....
I have even had a hard time eating meat lately.
As I chew I think about it being flesh....
And then I can't eat it anymore.

i get it now

It's always funny to watch movies now and realize you had no idea what was going on when you watched it as a kid.  It probably doesn't help that we had no rules on what we were allowed to watch.  Even cartoons though.  You watch it now and see a deeper meaning behind it.  It's kind of fun.  The movie that stands out the most for some reason is There's Something About Mary.  Hair gel.  Yeah, I had no clue.  Thinking about old movies really has me in the mood to watch Dumb and Dumber...

Things that made me happy today...
~warm bath~a clean house~my robe~no nightmares~gym at five a.m.~fruit from my Bountiful Basket~long sleeves~space heater~colored leaves~FRIDAY~

I decided I really want a Scentsy Buddy.  Have you seen them??  I loooove the lion!

there are no titles popping into my head right now...

Last night was so nice.
I have a cake this weekend, but I am just helping with it so I have had nights off all week.
It's been lovely!
It has gone by a little too fast.
For dinner last night we went to my most favorite place.
Tona!
I loooove sushi.
Then we went for a nice walk down the block for some coffee and cheese cake.
If you are ever in the Ogden area, go to Grounds For Coffee.
MUCH BETTER than Starbucks.
Oh and my cheese cake was chai cheese cake.
I was in Heaven!
When we got home I laid down and finished reading Mockingjay.
The first half of that one was a little slow, but it got better.
Pretty good series.
I am not in love with it like most people seem to be though.
Sorry if you're a fan.
My next books will be the Outlander series.
My husband is on book six, and loves them.
He keeps telling me it's better than Pillars of the Earth.
Which seems ridiculous, because that is the best book ever.

Lately I have been addicted to the snooze button.
I can't get my butt outta bed.
I think it's time for an intervention.
Or time to throw all alarm clocks out the window.

Last night Josh was injecting chicken with marinade for dinner tonight.
It made me so sick I had to leave the room.
I am panicking a little bit about starting school in January.
Phlebotomy!!
What was I thinking??

I am pretty excited about the cake I am helping with this weekend.
I am basically just making a ton of leaves because this lady doesn't know how.
And she likes my skills.
Speaking of cake....
Have you seen my last two??
Check them out here and here!

you never get the girl

I am kind of a hopeless romantic.
I cry over everything... happy or sad.
It's a good thing that man of mine is so sweet.
He is good to me every day.
Even when I get him sick and he is in so much pain he can barely move.
Sorry, lover.
Everytime I ask him what he wants for Christmas, birthdays... ya know...
I get the same response.
"I just want you, bean."
He doesn't ask me for anything.  Ever.
I got this response a few months before our first Christmas.
I told him that was lame because he already had me.
His response was, "You never get the girl."
Huh??
So he explained it to me.
Even after the wedding... 20 years of marriage... kids... everything.
She still isn't yours.
You will always have to work to keep her.
Just because you have the prize, doesn't mean you get to keep it.
It's something you have to work for every day.
And that sweet man still hasn't stopped.
He still loves me more every day.
That's how I know in 50 years we will still be in love.
Because we don't stop trying.
Marriage isn't a noun.  It's a verb.
It's not something you get.  It's something you do.
It's the way you love your partner every day.

How was your Halloween?
