We asked our friends to be in the bridal party and just celebrating makes the wedding feel that much closer.&lt;/p&gt;

Went all all but one of the upside down coasters (because just as we were about to get on the last one they closed it due to high winds). We did however get to go on Voodoo (which scared the crap out of me). You go forward and then up a 90 degree vertical which twists 180 degrees and then get flung backwards, through the station and then verticall badwards 90 degrees (this is the part that scared me because I was looking directly at the ground, hundreds of feet below me). We had a really nice day and I think we should make this amusement park visit an annual thing each summer (last year we did Six Flags).&lt;/p&gt;

I didn’t know where to turn to &lt;br/&gt;
See somehow I can’t forget you&lt;br/&gt;
After all that we’ve been through&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Going coming thought I heard a knock&lt;br/&gt;
Who’s there no one&lt;br/&gt;
Thinking that I deserve it &lt;br/&gt;
Now I realise that I really didn’t know&lt;br/&gt;
If you didn’t notice you mean everything &lt;br/&gt;
Quickly I’m learning to love again&lt;br/&gt;
All I know is I’ma be ok&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;[Chorus:]&lt;br/&gt;
Thought I couldn’t live without you&lt;br/&gt;
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too&lt;br/&gt;
It’ll all get better in time&lt;br/&gt;
And even though I really love you&lt;br/&gt;
I’m gonna smile cause I deserve to &lt;br/&gt;
It’ll all get better in time&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I couldn’t turn on the TV&lt;br/&gt;
Without something there to remind me &lt;br/&gt;
Was it all that easy&lt;br/&gt;
To just put aside your feelings&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If I’m dreaming don’t wanna laugh&lt;br/&gt;
Hurt my feelings but that’s the path&lt;br/&gt;
I believe in &lt;br/&gt;
And I know that time will heal it&lt;br/&gt;
If you didn’t notice boy you meant everything&lt;br/&gt;
Quickly I’m learning to love again&lt;br/&gt;
All I know is I’ma be ok&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;[Chorus:]&lt;br/&gt;
Thought I couldn’t live without you&lt;br/&gt;
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too&lt;br/&gt;
It’ll all get better in time&lt;br/&gt;
And even though I really love you&lt;br/&gt;
I’m gonna smile cause I deserve to &lt;br/&gt;
It’ll all get better in time&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since there’s no more you and me&lt;br/&gt;
It’s time I let you go &lt;br/&gt;
So I can be free&lt;br/&gt;
And live my life how it should be &lt;br/&gt;
No matter how hard it is I’ll be fine without you&lt;br/&gt;
Yes I will&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;[Chorus: x2]&lt;br/&gt;
Thought I couldn’t live without you&lt;br/&gt;
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too&lt;br/&gt;
It’ll all get better in time&lt;br/&gt;
And even though I really love you&lt;br/&gt;
I’m gonna smile cause I deserve to &lt;br/&gt;
It’ll all get better in time&lt;/p&gt;”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leona Lewis-Better in time&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It won’t let me upload the mp3 for some reason. If I only knew then what I know now. That things would truly get so much better and that I had yet to really experience love.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://megruppel.tumblr.com/post/42267943</link><guid>http://megruppel.tumblr.com/post/42267943</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:58:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>I made my 2 month old niece laugh for the very first time yesterday.

Not only for what you are, &lt;br/&gt;
But for what I am when I am with you. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I love you, &lt;br/&gt;
Not only for what you have made of yourself, &lt;br/&gt;
But for what you are making of me. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I love you, &lt;br/&gt;
For the part of me that you bring out; &lt;br/&gt;
I love you, &lt;br/&gt;
For putting your hand into my heaped-up heart &lt;br/&gt;
And passing over all the foolish, weak things that you can’t help dimly seeing there. &lt;br/&gt;
And for drawing out into the light all the beautiful belongings that no one else had looked quite far enough to find. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I love you because you are helping me to make, of the lumber of my life, &lt;br/&gt;
Not a tavern but a temple; &lt;br/&gt;
Out of the works of my every day &lt;br/&gt;
Not a reproach but a song. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I love you, &lt;br/&gt;
Because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me good, &lt;br/&gt;
And more than any fate to make me happy. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You have done it, &lt;br/&gt;
Without a touch, &lt;br/&gt;
Without a word, &lt;br/&gt;
Without a sign. &lt;br/&gt;
You have done it &lt;br/&gt;
By being yourself.&lt;/p&gt;”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;Roy Croft, “Love”&lt;/p&gt;

It was love. Something older than humanity, more ancient than the desert. Something that exerted the same force whenever two pairs of eyes met, as had theirs here at the well. She smiled, and that was certainly an omen — the omen he had been awaiting, without even knowing he was, for all his life. &lt;br/&gt;
It was the pure Language of the World. It required no explanation, just as the universe needs none as it travels through endless time. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only woman in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognized the same thing. He was more certain of it than of anything in the world. He had been told by his parents and grandparents that he must fall in love and really know a person before becoming committed. But maybe people who felt that way had never learned the universal language. Because, when you know that language, it’s easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it’s in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one’s dreams would have no meaning.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Paulo Coelho, “The Alchemist”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am thinking of using this as one of our readings during our wedding ceremony.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://megruppel.tumblr.com/post/41789695</link><guid>http://megruppel.tumblr.com/post/41789695</guid><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jul 2008 15:01:13 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>courtneyc:
