Laughter.

I'm still in complete shock that this year is nearly over with. This year vows were made, new cities were visited, and many challenges arose. Marriage has proven to be just as incredible as I knew it would be, and its only getting better. Bonds with those closest to me have become closer than ever, and adventures I've always wanted to embark on are finally happening. Things have been insanely busy this year, but during those stressful, busy times...some of my favorite memories were made.

I got an email from the wonderful Jena, announcing her one-time link up...she challenged us ladies to pick ONE photo from our entire year that sums it up best. I thought at first, "wow, this will be really hard", then I thought, wait...what was the happiest day of my life?

May 25th, 2013. 

Just one of my favorite shots of my husband and I on the day we promised to be each other's forever. Life hasn't been easy, and our marriage isn't perfect, but I truly believe that when we find time to laugh, we are happier people. We have to MAKE time to make each other laugh, to make others laugh, and mostly, time to make yourself laugh. There will always be those unusual never-ending work days where you want to crawl in the corner and cry like a baby...and there will always be another heartache you stumble upon, and there's always going to be those silly little let downs in life...but until you can laugh at what's ahead, or at whatever ridiculous scenario you're stuck in, I don't believe you can truly appreciate life to its full potential. So, that is the shot I chose. Laughter. Cause truly, its the best medicine.
