Two Years of Bliss & Counting...

On this day, two years ago...I married my very Best Friend.
Side by side we've braved the dragons, lived the dream, & written a tale of a true forever love.
I love him with all that lives inside of me...and everything else that doesn't fit.
Some days I wanna choke the shyt outta him, but most...SQUEEZE the shyt outta him! HA HA! (Don't worry…he'd say the same thing)! 
For those that say soul mates don't fight...they lied.
For those that say you make up like crazy...they told the truth.
Being married is not a wedding day. It's a journey, made up of every days.
Some are wonderful. Some suck. But EVERY day...there's no where else you'd rather be.
Don't marry the person you can live with. Marry the one you could never live without.
We are a team & we're in this to win this!
He's the absolute love of my life & the answer to my every prayer.
Would I do it all over again today?
In a heartbeat.
I love you to heaven, my Beautiful B, and I never want to know what I would ever do without you.
Happy 2 Year Anniversary!
Here's to us… and a lifetime more...everything.

Having Trouble Sleeping?

Simply Being - Guided Meditation for Relaxation and Presence

Ok Beauties...

This post is something I've been wanting to share with you for a while now, but was brought to light last night, by a comment my beautiful "K" wrote to me on my "Let It Go" post. (You can read it here if you missed it, & if you're interested, of course).

"You might be a bit of a psychic my friend... Just last night I was tossing and turning in bed over a wrong that some insignificant person dealt me. I had a glass of wine just to try and fall asleep to let it go. This blog is such spectacular timing, its a bit scary! Love you to pieces!!!!! K"

I would bet money that we've all had our sleepless nights, & I would also bet money that we'd all agree…nothing sucks more! LOL! Whether you're up thinking about a big decision ahead, a way to confront someone about something that's been bothering you, a huge argument you had with your man/woman, or something as simple as what you're gonna wear tomorrow (yes…I've had those nights. Don't judge), etc. THINKING SUCKS! Especially when…for the love of God…all you wanna do is sleep! Even more annoying…is when the person you're sleeping next to is out in 5 seconds flat, already snoring & drooling all over themselves, and there you sit. And even worse…when the reason you're awake is because of THEM! Really??? F ME! (Love you, Boo!) LMAO! And I will not sleep on the couch & give up my beauty sleep! No sleep + stiff neck/back =even more pissed! Ha Ha! 

So…without further adieu…I introduce to you…my savior! 

If you have an IPhone or IPad…you need this app! 

I have it on my phone & IPad & keep both right next to my bed…for all kinds of emergencies!

Also a must…headphones.

Plug those suckers in, click on this pink little face & off to dreamland you go! 

I kid you not…you will be OUT!

It'll shut off on it's own & you'll wake up, without even knowing how long it took you to fall asleep!

GENIUS!!!

I always set mine for 20 min & use "voice & music".

And the cherry on top…get ready…it's $0.99!

HOLLA AT YA GIRL!

Insomniacs…who do you love?
Imma pray this works for you too!

Would pay more! 

     

by Deadshot Jack

I used this app for the first time last night, and this morning I am almost in tears over how well it worked, especially given my level of skepticism. Like some of the other reviewers, I have suffered from insomnia all my life, and have learned to with it. My plan was to listen to this app for the 20 minutes, then switch to an ambient noise app I have. Well, I don't even remember removing my earphones, but when I woke up my IPad and earbuds were lying on the bed next to me! I woke up feeling refreshed and ready for the day, not groggy and feeling like I wanted to stay in bed like usual. Thank you so much guys, this app will definintely get recommended to friends!

I've been trying to meditate on and off for years. This has finally got me feeling like I've done it. Mary has the perfect pacing and tone for me. I particularly like how she doesn't proscribe a visual or even a breath....so I don't get that feeling of, "oh shoot. I'm out of sync".Also the benefit of meditation has been a great relief of anxiety. thanks.

Hope it helps you as much as it's helped me!

Love You…Mean It!

Would love to have you & see all your favorites!

Wishing You The Sweetest Dreams You've Ever Had,

Happy Wife...Happy Life.

Hey Beauties.

Hope all of you had a wonderful day...FILLED with everything & everyone you love most!

I did...& that's what inspired this post.

For those of you who don't know...my Husband & I work together, of course live together, & pretty much spend every waking moment together. Hey...give us time..we're still newlyweds! LOL!

But today was different.

We laughed more than usual & really truly enjoyed every moment. We were "present" & we were in love. I think that's what made it that much better. 

I think so many times in relationships, of course we unconsciously begin to take each other for granted, but even more than that...we often times spend so much time irritated by the little things that annoy us, & begin to overlook all the wonderful things that made us fall in love in the first place. Especially women. Men are way too "tuned out" to notice all of our little annoying idiosyncrasies, and believe me...I mean that in a very sincere, jealous way. I wish I had that ability, but unfortunately...I'm lacking that gene. I saw this quote & it couldn't be more true..."The less you give a crap...the happier you'll be!" LOL! How true is that though? We (I)...need to stop focusing on the little things...and spend a lot more time...being grateful for the big. 

Because let's be honest...

Some days are like this...

LMAO!

But if you take the time to remember the good...all the little things will once again...become so small. 

I'm a little disturbed, but sometimes all I have to do is think about not having him in my life one day, if god forbid something were to happen to him...and how bad I would give anything...to see his dirty clothes on the floor again, or hear his insanely annoying road rage...just one more time. I would miss every inch of him...so much it hurts to even imagine. 

So...moral of the story...

Try your very best not to take your loved ones for granted & try your best to grow a "whatever" gene! 

Because after all...in the end...it's all about the love & not even being able to fathom your life without them. 

Be grateful & hug them extra tight tonight.

And never forget...

Sleep Tight, Dolls.

You are loved & always wished...every beautiful thing.

Until tomorrow (today)...

XO

One Happy, Grateful Wife,
