Love Story

I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic. Occasionally I'll find myself wondering where Mr. Right is hiding, what he's doing, and then I may or may not write letters to him. At least I'm not writing songs yet!

I have a love/hate relationship with cute romantic comedies. I think I might have said this before on my blog, the phrase sounds familiar. I love watching them and seeing the characters struggle but ultimately falling for the right people in the end. But in a way they are depressing to watch. Within two hours people meet, struggle, realize the other person is "the one", and have a happily ever after. Two hours is all! Can you imagine meeting someone and falling in love within just two hours? That would be so much simpler.

But, there's one key word in the plot list. STRUGGLE. We cannot taste the bitter without knowing the sweet. We have to struggle, learn, be rejected, reject people and get hurt before we can understand how great it is to find the one. If there really is just one.

I plan on writing my love story into a story book for my kids. While I want my kids to believe in fairy tales and love at first sight, I want them to know that their father and I had to meet and fall in love against all odds as well. I actually plan on writing it and putting the copies on the tables at my reception. And then, when my husband and I read our book to our kids, we will always remember how we fell in love.

Ok, that was super super sappy. But I really plan on doing that. Hold me to it, ok?

Now I don't want you to think that I'm getting baby hungry or anything. I'm content to wait for the right person. Because the best things in life are worth waiting for! And the best way to wait for something is not to pine over what could happen in the future, but to live in the present and enjoy life NOW.
