It's Our Anniversary!

Thursday, May 19, 2016


" Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day

Lord, it made me feel so tired

Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But you're the key to my peace of mind

'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman



When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along, to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
'Til your kiss helped me name it


Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
And if I make you happy I don't need to do more


'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman


Oh, baby, what you done to me?
You make me feel so good inside
And I just wanna be close to you
You make me feel so alive


You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman


You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman"


Aretha Franklin 

If I could sing I would drop the mic now. Just finish the post! haha (Picture palms raised hallelujah emoji).  It's amazing how a single song can more accurately speak the sentiments of your heart than your own words. 8 years of marriage! Time goes by so quickly.Ever since I was a little girl I prayed for the man of my dreams. I knew my heart, I knew the level of true devotion and love it held and prayed eagerly to one day find the man it was created for. I had no idea that someone on the other side of the world was praying the same prayer. Each day we are grateful to have found each other.

We celebrated our love at the Jazz Alley in downtown Seattle to the tunes of Selwyn Birchwood and band. The ambiance was perfectly romantic. I was in the restroom when a woman asked me where I got my dress from. When I told her she replied "No way! I was sitting there thinking which high end boutique you got it from". I responded, "Girl, it was twenty-something dollars"! I really loved it. The pattern, material and cut is really well done. It has the perfect balance of romance-- mixed with a little "I still got it". haha! Cheers to love!
