Baby Steps....sigh

I can't begin to tell ya'll the way my heart feels right now.

I  can feel the fluttering in my stomach even as we speak.

From this day forward, my life will never be the same

as Mr. M and I embark on a new journey together.

Mr. M keeps assuring me everything will be okay.

I am so nervous that I can barely breathe.

I already know where your mind is going........

You might as well turn it around and drive it down  another road.

The Divine Mr. M has finally convinced me

to open my own business and peddle my wares.

 I will not be in a brick and mortar (yet)

but I will starting taking my junk....errrrr....antiques

to shows, including Warrenton in the fall

and will be opening my Etsy shop next month.

Mr. M is my greatest fan and my biggest supporter.

He doesn't believe there is nothing that I can't do and I love him for that.

After all, he's the one who told me to start my own blog.

I have to say that it has truly changed my life.

I would have never believed that I would meet so many

amazing and talented women.

I would have never dreamt that in two months,

I would have almost a hundred followers

and over 17,000 visitors to see what I have to say

and that this tiny blog in blogland would lead me to one of my greatest passions

(besides Mr. M. )

I can only hope and pray that the love that ya'll have shown me

will continue to flow with my new endeavor.

Mr. M is out right now, even as I type, buying me a travel trailer

so that I can have somewhere to lay my head while on the road.

  (see why I love him so.)

He has this crazy faith in us ....

I'm just trying to take baby steps as I spread my wings and fly

without divebombing to my death.

So, please be on the lookout for "Six-n-One"

my new store.

And if you see my at a flea market

or antique show, please feel free to stop by

and offer me a paper bag to keep my

hyperventilating to a minimum.

Please Go Away....

(The Divine Mr.M and I on our wedding day)

It's raining here...again.
I love the rain....most days.
Today I want it to stop raining.
I have too much to do and thunder and lightning are putting a damper to my plans.

I once told Mr. M that I had always wished to be kissed in the rain (like on "The Notebook".)
One day it was STORMING outside.
Mr. M came home and pulled me out into our backyard.
I thought Mr. M had lost his mind and that I was surely going to be struck by lightning.
Mr. M pulled me close and gave me the biggest kiss ever.
I was stunned.
(See why I love him so?)

He just stood there smiling.
I ran in the house. (Still afraid of being struck by lightning.)

I kinda hope he doesn't come home and pull that stunt again.
I love him but I don't want to be electrocuted.

So have a great (and hopefully dry ) day.
I'm going to put my raincoat on .....just in case :)

A Rose By Any Other Name...

"The rose speaks of love silently, in a language known only to the heart.”

Today is the two month wedding anniversary for the divine Mr. M and me.

Mr. M told me to close my eyes and placed the flowers above in my hand (all dressed up in a long rose box and everything!)

The box held one yellow rose and two white ones.

Mr. M is a soft spoken man and he's not the most eloquent of speakers but today he spoke volumes to my heart.

He said, "The yellow one is for our wedding day and the white ones are for each month we've shared since then."

I almost melted.

On our second date, Mr. M presented me with one of the most beautiful yellow roses I have ever seen in my life without even knowing that yellow roses are my all time favorite flower.

I truly thought that he had asked my best friend about my favorite flower but he just commented, "Nope. I didn't ask nobody. It just looked like...you."

Words could not express my love for this man. He is my touchstone. He is my rockstar and country boy all rolled into one. I am so blessed that he is a part of my life.

As I felt the tears welling up in my eyes, I looked up at Mr. M who had the sweetest smile on his face and said....

"This is sooooo going on my blog." (sniff, sniff)
