twinklings

So cute right?

So I am on the last twilight book, breaking dawn, and I am trying to take it slow because when it's over, it's over.  I love getting sucked into a book series but Im always a little wistful when it's over.
To kill time, I decided to clean out one of the little "cabinets" of our dresser.  This cabinet is seriously just full of junk, stuff that gets shoved there when there is no other place shove it.  Yeah, it's that kind of cabinet.  Behind the magazines, DVD's, perfumes, hair clips, sunglasses, and cookie cutter (why?) I found a stack of some of my old journals from college.  
WOW. 
Isn't it silly, all of the stress that boys bring.  
I am like reading these pages, wanting to shake my past self :)  
Hello, these guys weren't even worth the ink. For reals.
It just makes me that much happier that I found Adam and that we will live happily ever after.
deal.

I also found this quote scribed into one corner of a page and I loved it....

"in the external scheme of things, shining moments are as brief as the twinkling of an eye, yet such twinklings are what eternity is made of-- moments when we human beings can say, 'i love you,' 'i am proud of you,' 'i forgive you,' 'i am grateful for you.'  That's what eternity is made of: invisible, imperishable, good stuff."

I'm in a great mood.  Today we have a "cook out" at my parent's house to celebrate Labor Day.  Fun times and delicious desserts are promised. 
Have a great holiday friends.
I love you.
I am proud of you.
I am so very grateful for you.
