I'm stealing

these thoughts from my best friend Tristan Jewel Lawler. Talented beyond reason, she is a writer, dancer, Scentsy consultant, avid reader, knitter, expert on all things male-related, wine connoisseur in training, and I'm not even scratching the surface...
Her poetry is unique, and this one she wrote a while ago just touches my heartstrings. So tonight, these are the words on my heart (although she technically wrote them- I know she won't mind if I share.)

My beloved

I want to know you

I want to feel how I’m going to feel

When I know you love me too

When we decide to make a life together

I want you to know that all I want is to make you happy

From how we wake up together

To how we raise our beautiful children

We will make it

I know when we say our vows that they will be forever

Find me

I’m ready for you to be a part of my life

Get to know me

And love me for my faults

Love me for my family

Let me become a part of your family

Kiss me goodnight

And I will take care of you every moment

Choose me

I promise it will be worth it

We will know each other

and respect one another

I can’t wait to grow with you

Lets figure this out

Until we fall in love,

Yours,

Rae

I figured since she has her beloved now, she won't mind sharing this wish.
Tonight I'm thankful for the rain, despite that its coming with a lot more hail than necessary. I'd better get ready for the storm. I'm also thankful for Jesus loving me as much as He does. I'm thankful for Serena Joy. <3 And so much more!


Bye ya'al!

Baby Will You Dance With Me

One day...

I'd like to be in love.
And then I'd like to dance.

my big girl job

starts tomorrow.
i'm excited. but also so very nervous.
i'm afraid of failure.

but i trust God in me.

i met my mom's new man today. he is the most wonderful thing that has happened to our little family. it felt like a real family tonight having him there. he balances us all out. and i'm so grateful to God for putting him in our lives.

i miss my serena joy so much already! it was ah-mazing (haha) seeing her this weekend. we had far too much fun. definitely some lifetime memories.
and tristan! i haven't seen her in WAY too long. we had a marvelous night with friends and partied the night away. felt like old roommate times again.

i'm thankful. and happy. and sleepy.
