Fem·i·nism

the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes

Hmm.

There is nothing

 angry

 man-hating

 hairy

 or ugly

about equality now is there?

Didn't think so.

Skilled. Talented.

Having a special ability.

Gifted.

Exactly 2 times I have attempted to make dinner

Yes. In over 5 weeks of marriage

Twice

That's correct

Exactly 2 times I have cut myself

while slaving away in the kitchen

The cuts are getting progressively worse

Longer/deeper/bloodier

I think next time I might go for a full finger

Or a hand

I think I could manage a hand

Luckily my father-in-law is a doctor

He likes blood.

Or at least it doesn't bother him one bit

He fixes my cuts for me

This last one went through my

fingernail so he glued it back together

with some really impressive doctor adhesive

He is a good man. A fabulous Doctor.

But as for me?

I am awful in the kitchen

Wait.

I don't mean that.

I make some pretty divine desserts.

And Muffins.

I can make muffins that would blow your mind...

I think I can say that I do okay

with beverages as well

But when knives are involved...I am

downright dangerous

To myself and perhaps to others

No.

 I haven't hurt anyone else

But I don't trust myself

And frankly,

 You shouldn't trust me either...

Hero. Adventurer.

a man of distinguished courage or ability,

 admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.

a person who has, enjoys, or seeks adventures

Years ago...On this very day

Something happened

that would Change

The lives of

(I dare say)

HUNDREDS of people.

Mr. Kevin Guy was

brought into this world.

And

Thank heavens for that.

I don't know how it happened...

how I got so lucky.

But this incredible man ended up

being my father.

I would feel blessed to merely know him

Honored to be affiliated with him

But to be fathered by him

is more than I could ever deserve.

He is truly peculiar/ astonishing / colorful.

I kind of love him.

Think the world of him.

Want to be him when I grow up. 

Happy Happy Birthday to the most

 kindhearted and charitable

guy I know.

My Dad.

Celebrate.

To praise widely or to present

to widespread and

favorable public notice,

as through newspapers or novels (or blogs)

Honor. Solemnize.

It seems as though I have done lots of

Celebrating lately.

I'm becoming quite fond of celebrations.

Today is my husband's birthday

and I can't help but feel

exceptionally lucky today.

I married the most

impressive/amazing/inspiring

 person that I have ever met.

Happy Birthday Best Friend

I love you and you make me happy.

xoxo

I'll post pictures of today

later this week

But for now, here are a few of

our wedding day celebration.

Secret.

Unknown to others.

Secluded.

Private. 

There is an app on my phone that
is much like a yellow pad of paper
j discovered this app
long ago
he leaves me secret messages there sometimes
Perhaps when I have been
particularly good
Sometimes I discover these secret love notes
within hours of when they were written
and on Occasion...it takes me weeks
No matter when I find them,
they always make me happier than I was before

Originally, I had some of my favorite
notes typed up and ready to share...
But I realize this would make them
very much NOT secret
So. I will pass on broadcasting his
secret love notes
on my blog.

Instead I will share a secret of mine with you.
It really is no secret.
But rather a secret message to my josh.

Josh-
I love you. More than everything.
Thanks for being funny. And tall. And nice.
I like all of those things.
Love, me.


It's true. I love and like my husband.
Tell your friends.

Joshua.

Joshua is a sexy, masculine individual

exuding the most desirable of traits.

 Although Joshua may be timid at first, his genuine and compassionate

charm shine through above all things.

He can be trusted with any secret and will always pull through even when the going gets tough.

His understanding

 and supportive nature can put anyone at ease

 as he is never judgmental

but rather always willing to listen with an open mind. He is the epitome of a true man.

Today marks the beginning of Joshua's birthday week

So my subsequent posts will be about him

You should know that I love him

That I am a lucky girl because I get him forever

and that Sometimes

Forever doesn't even seem long enough...

xoxo

Birthday.

a day marking or commemorating

the origin, founding,

or beginning of something

So many of my

important people

are getting older and

wiser

this time of year.

I want to celebrate them

in every way that i can and for as long as possible

because not only do I believe in

recognizing and celebrating

birthDAYs,

I understand the importance of

birthWEEKs

In fact, I happen to be the biggest supporter

of celebrating birthMONTHs.

Mostly because I believe in

celebrating people who are worthy of praise.

So?

The people who are featured below are

most definitely worthy of all the praise in the world.

(Trust me)
