Life Itself

I just took the time to read all the blogs I've ever written on here, and I'm very pleased and a little shocked as to how far I've come.
I've been blogging on here for 3 years, maybe longer, and I'm just so happy that I made one of these so I can look back and remember those moments.
My mom and I were talking today and we have noticed that people are completely oblivious to the fact that NO YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD.

When we lost Aubrey, I'm sure she did not wake up thinking it was her last day on this earth. She got up and wanted to spend time with her family before she went back to Lubbock for school. Now I know young adults say, "I'm still young, I have time." Unfortunately there are infants who do not even make it past 3 months... How can you not understand the privilege of life itself? You could go at any second.

I just wanted to take the time to really show my appreciation for my life and finding Matthew.
We never miss a morning or night to tell each other how much we love each other before we start our day or go to sleep. We both understand that ANYTHING could happen and we might not get that chance to say I love you again.

Matthew Allen Valentine holds my heart, and always will no matter what. He always tells me we are not like other people, we are our own kind of love. The kind that lasts forever. It might sound cheesy but I believe it 200%. I know with every inch of my body and all my heart that we were made for each other.

Everyone gets a different impression of Matthew and I because every couple has their own language, but deep down we both know how we really feel. Now don't get me wrong it's not all butterflies and rainbows, trust me, but we never go to sleep mad at each other because at the end of the day love is the only thing that matters. This part, the first part of our relationship is what we are going to want to remember when things get really tough for us, and these parts are what is going to matter and remind us that our relationship is worth it.

I feel so honored and blessed that I have so much love in my life and my family is so close and it just keeps growing. I would be lost without them.

I do not care for a huge house or a huge ring on my left hand; it does not define you, it's just what you bought. I care for love and time, I pray for it. If or when I get old with Matthew I want to look back and say I would do it all again, that I really lived my life, mistakes and all.

Life is short. So make it sweet :)
Much love!
