Fiction vs. Non-fiction

The more time that goes by (that’s just a nice way of saying “the older I get”) the more I realize everything is connected. Not just thoughts and actions, but also demeanor and the mind. I mean this in both the simplest and most complicated form.

For the most part I wear my heart on my sleeve. Though I may not shout it out on the mountain tops there are certain ways you can tell how I’m feeling. I had an interesting conversation with a friend of mine last week and it made me realize that even in my reading choices are spearheaded by my emotions. I tend to lean toward fiction when I want to escape from reality, maybe because of difficult situations. My top pics for when I want to get away are mysteries, action and adventure books, and love stories. On the other hand, I pick non-fiction and self-improvement books when I am happy, motivated, and want to challenge myself.

Our 6 Month Wedding Anniversary

We barely even spent time together that day. We finally reunited at 7 pm that night but didn’t even really make a big deal of it. On Sunday (Easter), Charlie and I realized we’ve hit 6 months of married bliss. Those 6 months came and went faster than the blink of an eye.

I can’t believe how fast time has gone by, but looking back on the days of marriage since the wedding put a huge smile on my face. Charlie and I have grown so much. We’ve been through ups and downs, good times and bad, smiles and tears. Every experience has been a learning curve but has made us stronger and better people. I KNOW that we’re right where we are supposed to be.

Our wedding was absolutely magical. There was definitely love in the air, coming from each other AND our friends and family. Reliving that day just made me feel all those emotions again. Check out this amazing Same Day Edit that Loyd Calomay of Loyd Calomay Films created for us!
