Brandon, VT~

I went up to Brandon the weekend of August 8th for a wedding of two people I've known for a while--it was a wonderful union full of love and happiness.   It was not your traditional wedding, and it was perfect.  It was definitely their wedding.  The music was lovely, the food was yummy, and it was so nice to see so many people smiling.

I needed the time away.  I needed to go up to Brandon VT because it only further instilled in me my desire to travel somewhere new; to start a new journey, to find a place that is calming a place I can settle with Kevin.  Many things happened that weekend and there were many lessons taught to me--but the biggest one is letting go.  I have to let go of my past, and only stare into the future.  I cannot look backward, I cannot let my past hurt me or make me cry.  I have to turn my back on it and continue to hold Kevin's hand as we walk into the future; our future.

Their wedding only made me see what I want, and what I want is moment like theirs.  I want to be happy.  I want to have a wedding like theirs, small and quaint with happiness, laughter and a good mixture of friends and family.  I want to move or live in a place like them, a place that inspires me and makes Kevin feel secure.

My only flaw right now is my impatience.  I want it so badly, that I'm not willing to wait, but that is what I must do-- I must wait, breathe, and know it will all be okay.

(Below is the eye make-up I was able to do ALL by myself!  I usually never wear make-up but I have gotten better at having fun with it; it is an art form.  I am still very adamant though that all women are naturally pretty!)
