'All for Love'

For my twenty-first birthday my Mum made me a scrapbook. It was a collection of snapshots of my life thus far. I Love it! Here are a few pictures (dodgy lighting sorry) of a few of my favourite pages...

I think my favourite page, is the one pictured last, titled "Love is.."



It has a picture of Brad & I and a whole list of quotes on Love, from children. They are funny.



Here are some of the best ones:



"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." - Noelle, age 7.



"Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Brad Pitt" - Chris, age 7.



"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." - Karen, age 7.



"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." - Rebecca, age 8.



"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." - Karl, age 5.



"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs." - Chrissy, age 6.



"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." -  Terri, age 4



"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." - Danny, age 7



"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My mommy and Daddy are like that." - Emily, age 9



"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." - Bobby, age 7







When I think about how far Brad & I have grown as a couple over the past four years, I get giddy. We started out as friends when we were seventeen, and over time that friendship grew in to something more.

We've been together since we left higschool, which is a difficult time to decide to start a new relationship. I mean,  we hardly new ourselves or who we wanted to be, let alone who we wanted to be with. So many people said it wouldn't last long - not that we were expecting it to. We have changed so much as individuals and as a couple over the years. I am so thankful for the love and support I am shown, and to be able to show it in return. The coming months will no doubt be difficult, but I am positive that with the love and support we have and give to each other will ensure we get through it. Brad, you are always on my mind, and forever in my heart. X
