We were on our way home from a wedding celebration/reception- and I insisted that "Mr. Mayden" pull over so I could take a few pictures.-
The colors changed so quickly- and one set was as vibrant as the next.
I couldn't believe how gorgeous it was. How firey the oranges were- how deep the blue-
And the Pink/ Peachy clouds...
I love the sky.That sounds silly- but it's true. And I love the trees in North Carolina, and the green green grass. I love the hills, and the lakes, and my back yard.
I'm a romantic at heart...
My husband and I will celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary next week.
We'll be in Charleston at a beach front family re-union. Might not be very romantic, but it should be a lot of fun.
Which I think sums up my marriage pretty well.
We are friends- above and beyond everything else.
Yes- there are days when I wish for "more of" one thing or another...and there are lots of times when feelings get hurt, or needs go unmet because of the pace of a busy life- but at the end of each day...I climb into bed with a dear friend I've known since I was 12- and I realize more and more each day that it's a gift.
A real gift.
Sorry to be all mushy in this post! I've been stunningly busy- reading, writing, making plans for the fall, I might even end up with a job in September! I promise to catch up soon- and comment.
I've missed you- All of you :)

:) Killing each other would be easy...it's the slow way we drive each other insane that's made us nutty enough to hold on for 18 years! LOL
Exskindiver...thank you friend~
It's been mostly good :)

We do need to talk :)
Granny is looking for more time with the kids- and we'll be in Charleston the last week of July.
I don't know if we'll have time to work in a trip- but we would love to try. I'll look- and we'll talk-

Great photos! What beautiful colors. Now that we have some clouds around I might be able to take some nice sunset/rise pictures myself.
Happy Anniversary, early!!! Go out and do the town!
That is great how long you two have been together. That is something that I hope to have someday. The sunsets were beautiful too.
