Life is not measured by the breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away.
I remember reading this quote to Mark when we were dating and falling into mushy-love.
I’m not sure if he was interested in my love for writing and words at the time but he feigned interest like any good boyfriend would.
In my sappy, twenty-something year-old world, I let my mind drift to the possibility of marrying this great guy and imagined our first kiss.
I dreamt of this moment, when he took my hands, wrapped them behind his back and kissed me as his wife…
taking my breath away.
I’m linking this post up with Natalie from Mommy of a Monster and Twins who asked us to pick our favorite wedding picture and share why it is our favorite.
What was your favorite moment of your wedding?

Mark says
Yes, you’re gorgeous and all that and your hair looks fabulous. But to tell you the truth, I like your hair straight in your “About me” photo better. I think you’re hotter now. And believe me, I don’t say that to a lot of women.
Your New Friend, m.
p.s. I’m about to become your 500th Follower. I hope that comes with a prize. m.
Jessica says
Yay! So happy to have you as my new friend. My husband\’s name is Mark and I\’ve been to your blog and I couldn\’t love your family more. I\’ve sent my brother to your blog in hopes that he and his partner will be inspired by you guys and start giving me some nieces and nephews. So for your prize can I feature you here soon as my 500th follower? Please!!
Mark says
Well, I don’t know how your fans will feel about you wasting one of your posts on me but, I love it! You can even make it a Saturday when no one is paying any attention to blogs. Unlike a Monday when people are reading them and trying to avoid work. That is very kind of you. Thank you!
All of our children are through adoption. If you brother has any questions about that, he can feel free to contact me. I love to share what I know on this top.
I’m glad that we are finally “friends”. m.
Jessica says
