Next month we, Steven and I will be married for 8 years. That is on 21st July exactly.
I honestly say that I am the luckiest person to have met Steven 9 years a go. Mainly because one year later when we were dating I had an emergency major aortic repair surgeries and was hospitalized for 2 months. I remember how devastated I was in the hospital bed not knowing if Steven still wants to be with me. I had no family in the US but him. My parents came but Steven came to visit me every single day and took care of all medical paper works and medication for me.
Long story short; he supported me all the way through until I gained my health back. One year after I released from the hospital, he proposed to me. We got married July 21st 2005. I was very happy.
It has been a very happy 8 years.
Since the surgeries 8 years a go; my outlook toward life has changed a little. I no longer as ambition as I used to be. I enjoy the simple things I have, my simple life in New York and what's day to day life has given to me. As long as I am healthy and with Steven beside me, I feel safe and very happy.

How Do I Love Thee?
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, -- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

I really love these little jars! I think I got them at a yard sale in Delray, Florida. Can anyone tell what are those for originally?
Happy Friday Everyone!
Thank you for stopping by!
My mother-in-law collected these little jugs. I'll ask my SIL about them.
ReplyDeleteI love how you tucked the pretty roses in side them. Such a cute little arrangement!
