had fun this evening working with this bride and groom on their invites…

and now, i really need some beauty sleep…seriously, i stayed up half the night reading the sugar queen. i probably would have stayed up later and finished it, but at 3:45 in the morning, my husband startled me by saying, “britt, turn off the light and go to sleep.” at first i didn’t know if he was actually awake, because the other night, he reached over to his alarm clock at around one in the morning, turned on his noisy radio, and told me he was “turning off the natural gas.” i asked him again what he was doing, and he replied with the same answer, “i’m turning off the natural gas.”

unfortunately, he really was awake this time, and i was breaking my own “no reading past midnight” rule. i seriously need to grow up. wasn’t i supposed to go through the reading under my sheets with a flashlight phase when i was like 13?

anyway, i have learned a valuable lesson from this…at least i think i have…maybe i will tell you the valuable lesson that i think i have learned in the morning, after i get some sleep.

night!

p.s. i finished the book this morning while eating a bowl of cheerios. a delightful book written by sarah addison allen. you must read it.

being married is falling in love each day with the same person.

this morning, my husband, in a white collared shirt and a green paisley tie, stretched out next to me on our large ottoman while i was feeding ella. we talked of very important things and other things that were not so important. we played with ella’s bare feet and wiggly toes and tickled her with her stuffed sock monkey’s red hair. brandon gave me a quick kiss on my mouth before he headed to the kitchen table to study.

these are the moments i fall in love all over again.
