For some unknown reason, Blogger has not been working on my computer for the last few days. Talk about frustrating! It appears to be working right now, so we'll see how this goes...

Aaron and I have been slowly updating the pictures in our St. Lucian Honeymoon set on Flickr. We write in little stories about the picture on most of them. We have a lot of pictures to go through, and very little time. Some of them are really beautiful though, so if you get incredibly bored, take five minutes to pretend you were there!

We could even Photoshop your body into this one right here.


Wouldn't that be nice?

Being married is one of the best feelings I've experienced in a long time. I was talking to my friend, Lowell, on the phone the other day and I explained that for the first time in years I feel like I truly belong somewhere and to someone. Growing up with the uncertainty of my childhood with a very busy and slightly disturbed single mother divorced from my alcoholic father, I never really felt like I belonged anywhere. I shuffled from house to house as I was kicked out of my home nearly every other month, and just tried to make it until I could find my own source of stability.

Aaron gives me that. Being married to him helps me realize that I truly do belong here, with him and my children in our fabulous house, in a way that I've missed out on for years. I don't really know how to explain it, and unless you've experienced that wild and constant shifting within your own being, you probably can't understand. I have a sense of peace now that I lacked for a very long time.

Two days ago, someone told me that I'm a very calm person. I snorted out a major laugh. I don't think anyone has ever told me that before.

I like the new me. And, I love my husband. Oh, boy. My husband.
