This is what a marriage SHOULD be.
My sister and Scott are celebrating their six-year wedding anniversary and I couldn’t be feeling more inspired. They are what I aspire to capture one day.
As I look at both of my sisters and their successful marriages, as well, I feel optimistic knowing it’s out there.
As my BDF (ahh, will need a new name for you Ames!) heads off to Oregon tomorrow to marry her perfect fit…I’m inspired.
It’ll happen. When it’s meant to. Not forced. Perhaps not when I want it to. But it will happen.
And for now, I’ll bask in the happiness of those surrounding me. I’ll sit in peace knowing that I am right where I’m supposed to. I’ll be happy knowing that my relationship with my ex-husband is as strong as ever, and I am eternally grateful for that.
I’ll bask in potential.
And, I’ll bask in me.

that’s the way to go…I’m still learning that myself, in this world of dating, not settling, and waiting until it’s the right one. Thanks for visiting!

AW! You are way too cute. To think that we’re an inspiration to you is just the biggest compliment ever, you know that? I am so happy that you are so happy right where you are – it makes me that much more proud of you for how far you’ve come! Bask away 🙂

Wow… I love the way you look at it. My engagement was actually just broken off so I’m kinda looking for a feeling that resembles you. Who knows… Maybe one day I’ll have the strength that you have 🙂

Wow, just checked out your blog, your breakup is so fresh, and your blog looks to be a great way to chronicle everything. I’ll be reading, and the strength will return, I promise.
