Took a couple key photos from “recently” and summed them up.

1. We eloped. My husband and I had been engaged for a few months after dating for three years. We decided to rip the bandaid and had a private ceremony telling nobody.

2. Hag stone bagged. This was the day we told my husband’s sister and father that we were planning on sharing my family last name. Sister cried, dad left without another word. It was Father’s Day.

3. This is Possum. He makes me so very happy.

4. Clean shrine corner. Not my real shrine. Not sorry.

5. Matt, Ben, Sam, Mine. This was how I learned my colors as a kid. Three older brothers each assigned a color. Didn’t know the names of the colors yet but knew which one went to which brother.

6. Miss you always. And forever. The more I’m outside the more I remember you. More starlight. More grass stains. Sweat and hurt after a day? Sure, because it’s just one day in the life of a mortal being. Life happens to be very short, y’know? Get sore and dirty, you usually were.

Life is a tapestry woven from our experiences, and capturing these moments can be both therapeutic and fulfilling. In this article, I share the stories behind some significant life events, starting with my decision to elope after years of dating. This private ceremony reflected our desire for intimacy over public acknowledgment. Family dynamics can be complex, as illustrated through our announcement of name-sharing, which elicited poignant reactions from my husband's family. These raw moments remind us of the importance of communication and understanding in relationships. The article also introduces special companions like Possum, who brings happiness and comfort amidst life’s ups and downs. Additionally, the 'Clean shrine corner' symbolizes how we create spaces for reflection and remembrance, allowing us to honor both our past and present. Finally, the nostalgic recollection of childhood colors emphasizes how our upbringing shapes our identities. Whether it’s through family traditions or personal rituals, each experience contributes to who we are today. Embracing vulnerability and sharing these true moments can foster connections with others traveling similar paths, reminding us we are not alone in our journeys.
