Weddings

Sometimes it is nice to attend a friend's wedding to get a shot in the arm of love, possibility and hope.

After 5.5 years of marriage and 7 years together, there have been many times that my husband and I have wanted to kill each other, and this past week was no exception. 

It never fails that life's timing has its own clock that you are never privy to see.  

Despite the fact that I was one conversation away from forcing Leo to live on our boat (until I realized that this would not be a punishment in his mind), we had committed to attend a friend's wedding,  and my folks were already in town to watch Isaac overnight for the first time. 

So after an unenjoyable 2 hour car ride...

... thankfully there were cocktails, four videos of the bride and groom loving each other up, a duo that played a tango for us to dance to, and tons of  smiling faces for us to photograph to convince us that we still kind of like each other.

And, so I continue my research of life and love, and everytime that I am face to face with a couple who has been together a long time, I always ask, "What is the secret?" 

One of My Favorite Answers:

"Well, we tried to get divorced many times, even divided up things and the kids a few times, we also looked into buying separate homes, but we could not afford it, then one day we realized that we are just too old to fight."

All Time Favorite So Far:

"Never give up on the same day."
