Here we are


Who would of thought we would of made it this far this fast. One minute we just meeting each other, then dating, then engaged, now we are married! Time flies when you're having fun. I guess you can call 31 credits and three jobs between us, fun. We're enjoying everything that has happened to us so far. Just the other day we were thinking how much has occurred since we got married. Pictures look so much different, "Is that really what I looked like!?!" or "When was this picture taken?!" are common phrases when we see pictures.

The feeling of time flying only seems to noticed whence reviewing it from the present. I find it harder to think of the future in the present. Why is that? Does this have to do anything with numerous activities that consume our lives'? Is it because we have tendencies to not plan ahead other than education goals? Do we let things just pile into our schedule so quickly? Whatever the case be, time seems to slip when not payed attention to. Time can be found within everything. The timing of your watch on your wrist, your car engine, the music you're listening to, a relationship, a pay period, the sunlight, everything has a time! Let's take the watch for example; look at the time now. What time does it say? Is it the morning? Afternoon? Nighttime? Or is it early morning for my night-owls? :) Are you subject to the time? Are you subject to your schedule, or are you in control of it! Consider time as a gift. You are given the full reins to do what you will with this gift. You can enjoy this gift on the shelf. You can return this gift in hopes of finding something else. You can even share this gift. But the bottom-line is, you can decide what time it is...your time. Your time to shine. Your turn to finally grab ahold of this schedule of yours and decide when, where, and how you are going to what you want.

Be the person that looks back in their life and remembers how they spent it, "those were the moments I lived my life and learned how to capture what was given to me." No
shoulda-coulda-woulda's. No regrets. In the words of a certain R&B artist, "whatchu you need to do, is be thankful for the life you got. Stop looking at what you aint' got and start bein' thankful for what you do got...live your life"

the beauty of the earth






sometimes we like to stop and smell the roses, like i'm sure some of you do. if not we suggest you do. from plants to animals there are so many things that we've grown to love. Tiffany helps me to notice the small things. its these little things that tie a bookmark to my fondest memories. another, there is a house by my apartment that has a family of four billy goats. Tiffany and i have come to love these little guys.

Tiffany and i made a book, an adventure book. this idea came from the movie up. in this book we write things that we've experienced along our courtship that we think will be valuable to us or our children down the road. one time we put a maple tree leaf in there, its been over a year and its still in it's original condition. today i put in our book some feelings about the way i feel about Tiffany -- last night i feel in love again with ms. tiffany, i not only have gotten use to the way the light gets brighter when she's there, but i've noticed how the light in my life gets brighter. i noticed while she was driving, almost a vision, her potential as a woman . . . it was the most glorious visions i've ever had. i'm honored to have her in my life, and even to know her. i then said a silent vow to myself to always look for her benefit and treat her according to her potential. i love her -- these are some of the things that we i find to be the most beautiful things on this earth

our first post


we think that everyone needs to have a corner in life. THIS is ours. We love, we live, and we are us. this is a place where we feel that anyone is invited. We are tiffany and brooks. We met last year and fell in love. We've quoted our relationship the greatest courtship. August 19th will be the end of something great, but the beginning of the greatest years of our lives awaits!
