Dance Parties

It is a daily occurrence in our household to have spontaneous dance parties.  We have music playing most the day, but there are those songs that require a break from the daily grind.  The spontaneous dance party is one of my favorite things and I look forward to it everyday.

'Just Because'

'Just because we love you,' my daughter said as she handed me a bouquet of pink roses she and my husband bought while grocery shopping.  'Just because' gifts can brighten any day.  And 'just because' roses smell a bit sweeter.

My Wedding : August 6, 2005

My wedding day was so special to me.  I look back fondly at all the love shared by our families and friends.  It was a beautiful day. 
But I also remember the little details that went wrong.  Some things didn't turn out as I had planned--and that happens.  Every wedding has a few things that go not as the couple may have intended.  As they happen, you need to roll with it.  You wouldn't want to look back at your wedding and realize you were spending all your energy frustrated over details and missed out on the one event where your friends and family are gathered to celebrate your happiness.  There are few events like that in a lifetime. 
Now I think of those details and laugh.  Nobody noticed, but me.  They were not very important anyway.  Everyone had a great time.  So did I.  And I have photographs I will cherish to remind me how perfect the day really was--I married a wonderful man.  The most important thing didn't go wrong.
