Cliché or Not, He's "The One"

How I LOVE this man!

I took this at the bagel shop yesterday morning during breakfast because Hubby doesn't need to wear his glasses too often and I love how he looks when he does!

This man still makes me giddy, still makes me sigh, still makes me smile from the inside out!

He's the most amazing man I've ever known and sometimes when I look at him I still cannot believe he's MY husband! This incredible, strong, gorgeous man is my husband!

Who'd a thought?! Certainly not me! My loser streak prior to Hubby led me to not want to get married and I had accepted that mostly likely I wouldn't.

There's a saying that all women start planning their weddings when they're little girls. Not me. All I ever dreamed of was finding a man who loved & respected me unconditionally. I literally never gave a thought to marriage or weddings.

I planned our wedding in less than 8 days for next to nothing ($) and it was one of the best & happiest times of my life! I haven't one regret about any of it. It was about us, pledging our love & loyalty to one another, and nothing else. So many of our guests have had big weddings & afterwards told us they wish they'd done it like we did.

May 24th of this year we'll have been together 5 years.

Aug 21st of this year will be 5 years he asked me to marry him, I said yes and we pledged our love & loyalty to one another before God (and the kitties!).

May 16th of this year, the 9th anniversary of my Nana's passing, will be the 4th anniversary of our symbolic ceremony down in Florida for his parents when his Mom was dieing of cancer. (She passed away June 5th).

May 25th of this year is our 4th wedding anniversary, the day we (finally!) made it all legal.

I still love him every bit as much as when we first got together and even more!

Jo-

This is such a sweet post. You are so lucky to have each other!

I'm with you about ceremonies. Unlike so many little girls I never wanted a big wedding. I hate being the center of attention and knew that I wouldn't have any fun. Instead, I always fantasized about running off to Lake Tahoe to get married, which we did. It was just the two of us with the Pastor and his wife on a cliff overlooking Emerald Bay. And instead of a huge reception right after, we had the brunch buffet at Caesars, and dinner at Applebee's that night. About 6 weeks later we had a reception/party where we live with friends and family. It was all so relaxing and stress free - perfect!! It's all about the commitment and marriage, not the wedding.

Here's to many more years of happiness to you and your hubby!

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

2009 Halloween Fete! (Saturday October 17, 2009) **UPDATED!** This shindig is still going strong!

Welcome! I'm so happy to have had so many visitors already! I must apologize for not being ready for you earlier! I also apologize for the wacky font sizes throughout my post. No matter how hard I try, I can't correct them. If music doesn't begin playing shortly after your arrival, scroll down until you see a purple music widget begin to load in the left hand column and wait until you hear the music before scrolling back up here. Happy Halloween Fete 2009! Love and Spookiness to All! ~Jo (Continue scrolling down until the end of the post) Outside, it's a gloomy & cold day here on the NJ coast. Many a restless Spirit wander here on days like this. One can never be too sure if the fog & mist are just as they seem. Inside, it is warm yet equally frightful! Creepy crawlies have gotten into the food & drink, I so hope you don't mind! What with all of the party hopping we're doing, I didn't want you to bust a gut, so I've laid out some Pumpkin Cook...

(Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun...
