We Stood at the Altar
Thirteen years ago,
We stood at the altar,
And we promised,
To love each other,
Always.
We were young,
Full of hope and desire,
And we dreamed,
To love each other,
Always.
Time passed quickly,
Our days filled with life,
And we fought,
To love each other,
Always.
Wrinkles have appeared,
Our heads are peppered with gray hair,
And we ripen,
To love each other,
Always.
Thoughts often turn to question,
If we’ve ever known life without this love,
And we evolve,
To love each other,
Always.
Thirteen years ago,
We stood at the altar,
And we vowed,
To love each other,
Always.
Happy Anniversary, Michael.
I am complete with your love.
Week In The Life: Day One
I found this challenge through Tracey from Mother May I (brainchild of Best Shot Monday). When I clicked and started reading Ali’s words, I knew what had to be done. All this week I will chronicling our daily life. The good, the bad, the ugly; it will all unfold here.
I present. . .a week in the life, in pictures and words:
Day One | Monday
The Pictures:
Best Shot Monday | Six+ Random Things
- When I take pictures of things (usually still subjects, like flowers) I have a tendency to take them at different settings. Playing with all the variables produces an interesting array of pictures. The picture on the left has an exposure of 1/4000 of a second and has an aperture of f/1.6; the picture on the right has an exposure of 1/60 of a second and has an aperture of f/16. It just goes to show that through experimentation you can learn some new things. This has been one of the ways that I have really come to be comfortable with changing settings to be able to control the final product.
- We’ve been having a bit of a gas crisis here in Georgia due to Hurricane Ike. Gas stations have run out and when one DOES has some there are lines-upon-lines of cars, resulting in long waits. Prices are fair enough, it’s just finding it that is the problem. There’s also a limit on how much you can get. Yesterday I got 7 gallons ($30.00) and lucked out and got 7 more gallons today; I definitely feel better having a full tank. Regardless, we will be minimizing trips until this changes and things return to “normal”.
- Michael was home last week and it was so nice to be able to stay home on soccer practice nights. What did I do during that time? I made COMPLETE dinners. On Tuesday night we had Pork Stir Fry with Whole Wheat Buttered Noodles (mock Lo Mein, if you will), and on Thursday I made Deluxe Chicken Sandwiches with Peas and Broccoli, on the side. Oh yeah, we also had some Fritos for crunch factor.
