At the end of a very trying day yesterday at work, I was closing all of my open windows on my computer, getting ready to shut down to head home, and I stopped for a second.
I have a few pictures as the background on my computer at work that cycle through. This one was the one that was up when everything was closed, before I shut down:
I stopped for a minute and just looked at it, smiling, remembering that day, and those crazy intense happy feelings.
And somehow the stupidity and stresses of the day were a little less.
It's crazy to think that 2 years ago this weekend (Memorial Day weekend), this happened. The man I'd been looking for and thinking about all my life asked me to marry him.
Sometimes you just need to take a second to smell the roses....or stare at a picture to realize the important stuff in life and let the other stuff go.
Aw this is so sweet. Such a good memory!
ReplyDeleteI remember when you announced it to the world! Wow times flies! xoxo
ReplyDeleteAww love this. Such a sweet picture and moment for you! Sometimes you just need to stop and realize that some things don't matter and there are so many other important things out there.

Amen and amen! It's so easy to get caught up in the day to day stressers. But life is short and we need to take more time to enjoy the moments...and good times. ;)
ReplyDeleteI just got the chills reading that!! And yes so easy to get caught up in the little things, but a picture like this makes it all fade away! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely moment to capture! Where were you? Laughing at the two ladies in the far background staring at the scene.
ReplyDeleteThis photo is so sweet! I love looking at a photo and "remembering." I think remembering/celebrating the engagement-versary is so fun and special!
ReplyDeleteAhI How sweet that someone captured this moment! I absolutely agree with you - it's good to stop and smell the roses! It's easy to forget how much we have to be thankful for. Thank you so much for sharing at Waiting on...Wednesday!
