~engaged~
Engaged. Fiance’. Getting married. He’s the guy. Want to grow old with him. He’s the father of my children.
I remember like it was yesterday.
A million thoughts and emotions swirling around at once.
It’s pretty phenomenal, actually.
Finding the person you are forever connecting yourself to.
It’s not perfect. It’s not necessarily magical. At times, you’ll want to hit him.
But it’s so great. Commitment.
I’ve said it before. The single most attractive quality in a man. ~cOmMiTMenT~
I’ll stick it out with you, baby.
I’m not going anywhere.
Brad and I?
We love hard and we fight hard.
I’m stubborn. He’s fiery.
But he makes me feel like I’m 18. I make him laugh. We work together. Work, I said.
But he’s not going anywhere and neither am I.
So, Abby and Cameron. Roll your sleeves up and get to it. It’s a journey well worth it.
Congratulations!

Brings back memories.
love this! awesome to remember that its worth fighting for and working at. and i love that he makes you feel like an 18 yr old. some of the blogs i read on here, i love that their is still that fire even though life is hard. Love that you have this journey to share with your friends.
That cover photo is to die for! I love the clothes on your girlies!!! And I love the engagement picture. At this moment in my life I’m not sharing all those sentiments that followed it. I got married young and didn’t know what I was doing and everything happened wayy too fast. So many times I felt like calling the wedding within four months off, I saw red flags, and other things… but I keep trusting that God has a plan through a lot of heartbreak. Posts like this give me some hope because I know everyone has their set of really rough years.
@MartinTreehouse - You are absolutely right and there being purpose in heartache. Life is messy and things do always go according to our little plan, do they?! We can’t possibly know what’s going to happen, nor can we control other people. Decisions, both our own and those of others, affect us in ways we can’t even imagine. Every day is knew-thank God for that. Have to have hope!
@MartinTreehouse - Typo!!! “things DO go according to our plan was supposed to read,”DO NOT”!!!! Because they certainly DO NOT go according to plan!
This is beautiful! You sound so real and I love that, when people write the truth. Marriage is not all fluff and romantic stuff. It’s one person LIVING with another person, learning to love through every nook and cranny, way beyond the sexual bliss. That’s where I find myself. Finding out what real love is after all these years. And it IS a journey worth going through, together.
the picture is gorgeous. and i love your sister’s pretty legs.
and what you wrote? wow. so good. so true. so simply eloquent.
congrats to your sister and soon to be bil.
and happy wedding planning too.
That sums it up well! Sometimes I tell my husband, I LOVE you, but I don’t LIKE you very much right now.
Congratulations to your sister and her fiance.
precious. precious words. and that shot is amazing..
i think you’re more than capable to shoot the wedding.
