  Etta James - A Sunday Kind of Love by Kaku

I'll never forget, being on the ending edge of heartache, feeling like there was no real hope in the thing that was called love.

After breaking down day after day, while at work one afternoon, the rain had subsided for a few hours and all that remained was this:

Such a small coincidence, however, it was the ultimate sign in my heart...that began to help me regain hope.

Now, almost 3 years later, I have had the opportunity and daily blessing of knowing, sharing, & relishing in the most purest forms of love I've ever known.

I thank God repeatedly, though I am uncertain how I have gained such a tremendous blessing as him, I will, however, protect and nurture it :)

J: as cliche & cheesy as it may sound, you truly have captivated every part of me. I am in awe with each passing day and the amount of love we are able to share with one another; as well as that love growing, only getting better & better!!

You are my best friend, my ultimate; the love of my life.

Thank you, for being my valentine, each & every day<3.

some random happenings from the past week or two:

lots & LOTS of family time, which i sincerely need. I feel I had missed out on so much the past 4 years...

being woken up by my nephew is my absolute FAVORITE thing ever.

becky just left after spending ten days here at home. i already miss her terribly! :(

miranda arrives tomorrow evening though ! :)

also happening lately: organizing, sorting, rearranging, planning, planning planning!!

I've got a wonderfully peaceful feeling about this year. I'm ready for it.

this is my time to finally focus on myself for a change. 

also, giving back // paying it forward. 

letting go completely of those petty little differences, any remaining bitterness, and moving onward.

I'm remembering that we all need to take a step back from every situation and just breathe. 

realize that you are alive.

is it really worth getting all worked up or even truly upset over those little trivial matters?

my main focus is to teach myself it's okay to be happy!!

and learn that everything else will fall into it's place.

you can't worry yourself to death in attempts to heal those around you. 

instead, by simply being the best version and continuing to grow, pay attention, learn, listen, have grace, be patient, have compassion and just be;

you will be an all over way better person for every single soul you come in contact with, I tell ya!

Words will never ever do him justice, nor the love I have for him. 

He's my world.
