"All you need is love...
"K and J"
...all you need is love
...There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be,
it's easy.
"The Soon-to-Be's"
(Thing #2 and the Soon-to-be...hmmmm, gonna have to think of a name for him!)
...love is all you need."
-All You Need is Love (Beatles)
Well, we all know it really isn't THAT easy. And we all know that altho love is grand..there are other things that will help out in the long haul. Like commitment, perseverance, devotion, and when all else fails...a sense of humor. But for this weekend, Thing #2 came home with her soon-to-be and it was all about love. It really was all we needed. An intimate gathering of family and faux fam (my family by choice). I will be posting more photos of their "Couple's Shower" later this week. But for now, all I need is love AND a few more hours in the day to catch up on everything that got pushed to the wayside in the process. Love will do that to ya sometimes.

I don't know about you, but we have been blessed with abundant sunshine lately. It makes the mornings so much easier to embrace, for me. With that in mind, next week's Song-ography selection is...

ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting this interesting meme.
Kathy, what a lovely couple they are. I bet their wedding will be like a fairy tale, full of beauty and magic. I just know you are beaming..............
ReplyDeleteYOUR daughter is just gorgeous... and , she looks just like her mom. They are a lovely couple and the couples shower looks as if it was an awesome event.
ReplyDeletethey are a lovely looking couple
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy time in your household...congrats to the couple-to-be! What a gorgeous pair, and I love the shower decorations.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the love!!
ReplyDeleteSo much happiness in your life right now!
ReplyDeleteThey make a handsome couple and if the decorations are any indication, it was a great time. Enjoy these moments of love in spite of the fluster and busyness associated with it.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! And really is the best of times. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteKathy, your daughter is beautiful! My "baby girl" has been married 8 weeks today, so we enjoyed these amazing times just a couple of months earlier than you are. The shower was SO much fun, with all her friends. And the preparations and urgent lists and talking through ideas and getting every little detail just the way she wanted. She says it was her dream wedding, everything she always hoped for. And it's a highlight of my life, too. There's nothing like knowing your daughter is so happy and sharing that with her. Enjoy every minute!!!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you, Kathy - sometimes love is not enough, but it helps so much. Your daughter and soon-to-be son in law are such a lovely couple. And that heart decoration is so beautiful. I cannot wait for they day you are going to share - at least a few - photos of the big day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful young couple Wishing them much love and happiness.. Loved the sparkly heart decoration. You are indeed a loving mother (and a busy one with wedding preparations).
ReplyDeleteI am more pragmatic ... I think that love encompasses "commitment, perseverance, devotion, and when all else fails...a sense of humor" so I can just stick to the simplicity of "All you need is Love". That said, it is clear that you have plenty of that around you and it is about to be confirmed again as you daughter has learned love from you and is now passing it forward into her own family life. You have much to look forward to from this new union and I know it brings you joy. This was a great song choice because I rarely get an excuse to brag about my family. Thank you again for hosting such a clever and meaningful meme.

ReplyDeleteKATHY is carol related to you. I was unable to look at her blogpost. It says it is unauthorized to be viewed. ??? I was trying to visit her back with no luck and don't know how to let her know. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanne, I'm having the same problem trying to view Carol's link and sent her an email. As far as I know we aren't related....we both happened to marry Blackburns
ReplyDeleteSurely he should be Thing #2.1 and i have to say they make a beautiful couple and your daughter is truly stunning.
