A backwards life moving forward... no way!

A weekend getaway in Yellow Springs held a lot of promises: reminiscing about our rekindled relationship 5 years prior, "decorative water holders," and some seriously quality people watching.

Reminiscing: check
Decorative Water Holder look out: check
People watching: check and check some more

But it was so much more than that. Special in every possible way.

It wasn't the ring.  It was what he said, how he said it, how he did it, what he meant and what the ring symbolizes. The commitment to each other is more valuable than anything else.



I will remember this moment for the rest of my life.  October 10, 2015

Instead of asking me to marry him, he asked me a question that's even more important than that: will you spend the rest of your life with me? 

Matthew, you are my world. My partner.  My everything.  The answer was, is and always will be yes!  Always know that while this ring symbolizes your commitment to me, our relationship and our family, I will only wear it with pride because I share the same commitment to you.  


My hopes for you and I

1. We find beauty in our wrinkles as we do in each other's smiles
2. We never forget to laugh and always know we can cry
3. We fight because we are fighting for a better us
4. We are always, always, always looking to be better individuals, partners and parents
5. We remember nothing is perfect, but what we have is perfect in it's own way
6. We learn from our struggles and come out better because of them
7. We never give up on ourselves or each other

With the fullest heart I could possibly have, thank you for making me feel so special, this weekend specifically but every day, too.
