5 months later...

I've been married for five months this Thursday :) Here is my list of reasons this is awesome:

*I am a wife!
*I cook real food about 3 times a week and most of the time it is even good!
*Henry comes home to the same place I live!
*Someday I will have 1/4 black babies!
*I get to be a hostess!
*Church group comes to my house!
*I get to sleep in the same bed as Henry every single night!

Last night Scotty and I read a book together.
A list of my favorite quotes:

"I don't have to wait until I die to start seeking a Great Perhaps."

"Stop stealing other people's problems and get some of your own."

"She smiled with all the delight of a kid on Christmas morning and said, 'Y'all smoke to enjoy it. I smoke to die.'"

"I wanted to be one of those people who have streaks to maintain, who scorch the ground with their intensity."

"I may die young, but at least I'll die smart."

"Jesus, I'm not going to be one of those people who sits around talking about what they're gonna do. I'm just going to do it. Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia."

"Sometimes you lose the battle. But mischief always wins the war."

"DO NOT OBJECTIFY WOMEN'S BODIES!"

"Nothing's wrong. But there's always suffering."

"It's nice to have people who will feel guilty for you."

"We are all going."

"I loved her present tense."

"Damn it, how will I ever get out of this labyrinth?"

"I am going to take this bucket of water and pour it on the flames of hell, and then I am going to use this torch to burn down the gates of paradise so that people will not love God for want of heaven or fear of hell, but because he is God."

"When you stopped wishing things wouldn't fall apart, you'd stop suffering when they did."

"We had to forgive to survive in the labyrinth."

"I believe now that we are greater than the sum of our parts."

"We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken."
