I love this Wedding Invitation

Today

Today it may be raining, but that doesn't mean we can't still have fun!

Here are some things that have already brightened my day...

* Moments remembered ... This is how I want to remember my wedding day.

* Inspiration ... I am writing my resume and personal statement for a job today. This is motivating.

* Home organization for two ... I love this idea for my fiancee. He always forgets when things are and looses his keys. ;)

* Bring on the Show with two of Hollywood's sexy men ... I don't know if this will be good, but I am willing to give it a try. ;)

* The Spirit of Love ... These photos are so precious!

Advice?

Wherever

you go, take

your whole

heart along.

A friend of mine sent me some "quotes to live by". I have been feeling a bit worn out from being sick and having people telling what I should and shouldn't do for the wedding. It hasn't even been 2 weeks people, let me enjoy being engaged first! Sheesh. lol I just hope that they realize this is our wedding and not theirs. (sigh)

Dear friends,

How do you deal with people trying to take over your wedding? How do you keep everyone's feelings from being hurt?

Love,

~ Kubby

To all of you who are

Have a wonderful day!

My wish for all of you.

I went a little nuts

Wed night, I was having dinner at 7pm with some friends (SLA and Steve). However, I got stuck at the office till 6pm and didn't feel like walking all the way home just to go straight back out again. So, I decided to waste time in a CVS till dinner. And ... I went nuts! I bought so many cards. I have never been a card person. I don't even send out birthday cards. I send people messages on facebook, a text or I just call them. But for some reason I just had to buy cards. Now I have been writing letters to keep myself busy at work. And you know what? I love it! It's lovely! I want to buy more cards. LOL

Brooklyn Bridge Proposal

This was found on A Cup of Jo and SMITTEN!

Valentine's Day weekend, an adorable guy proposed to his girlfriend on the Brooklyn Bridge. Hear his and her stories of the proposal--and see their cute photos.

As the couple walked across the Brooklyn Bridge this past weekend, strangers handed her pink balloons and love notes. (He had asked his friends to stand on the other side of the bridge with a bunch of balloons and give the balloons to strangers, who would, in turn, hand them to her. The first balloon was given to her by his friend, who she wouldn't recognize. How clever!)

Her story:
* When we started taking a walk, he was acting jittery and was really chatty. He also missed our transfer on the subway which never happens. He's normally very calm and collected. I was a little suspicious.
* We started walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. Strangers were handing me pink balloons, and too many things were going through my mind--just random thoughts like he is so cute, who are these people, wow I'm really lucky, doesn't this only happen in the movies? Is this real? He loves me, doesn't he?
* When he proposed, I felt really excited, happy and a little dazed!

His story:
* I was nervous and excited. As we walked, strangers gave her pink balloons and love notes. The notes were handwritten messages to her which reminded her of why I loved her and why I wanted to marry her.
* Now, I'm so happy and excited about the future.

I think that this story is so incredible and romantic! This is something I would love!

The Little Things

To those of you who might have a Family Guy "paper towel moment" if anything else goes wrong.... Here is a quick story.

My friend Erin B. has been working at a hospital for the past year and a half. She works in the Thoracic and Hematology Oncology departments, which mostly deal with cancer patients. Obviously it can be a very hard job and being at the bottom of the totem pole becomes difficult to deal with each day. Her superiors tend to drop everything on her, including undeserved blame when they forget to do something. This job can make any normal person want to throw someone out the window. Erin keeps that place going. Very rarely does she even receive praise.

Lately the job is taking its toll. Just when she felt like enough was enough, she found something on her desk today. It was an edible arrangement from a patient. The note said, "You are a wonderful, special person and it doesn't go unnoticed that you always go above and beyond to take care of me. Thank you so much." At that moment, everything else didn't matter. Erin received all the praise she needed and went back to work.

We rarely know how our actions can touch another person's life. Remember that every little thing counts and sometimes the little things are what can pick us up again. In the words of CGGI, "Celebrate the small stuff!"

Inspiring story of a mother

A Cup of Joe found this. It makes me believe that there are still wonderful people out there.
