created as a design team layout using the October Journey kit by Scrapbooking From the Inside OutA layout to document a little bit of the story behind how Mike and I became us :)Journaling:We went through a lot to be together. We were just friends for several years, and I was dating someone else at the same time. But when that relationship ended after six years, we began to see each other. Briefly. Because when Paul decided he wanted to get back together because he was scared of starting over, I was so confused. And a few well-intentioned friends didn't help matters by saying I should give him another chance. So I did.But it just didn't feel right in my heart. I was so miserable without you. I missed you so much! You had become not just my friend, but my best friend and I knew I couldn't give you up.After almost fifteen years of marriage and two beautiful kids, I can honestly say I have never, ever regretted my decision. There are ups and downs to be sure as in any relationship. Like car troubles or extended family drama. Life isn't always easy and it's not supposed to be. But I know what life is like without you. I've been there, and it is not a good thing. And I like that we can handle the hard times together. I love that sometimes I can still just look at you and fall in love a little bit over again. And when I look at this photo taken on our “break”, I remember how much I wanted to be with you."To the right of the photo you can see the lyrics to a Jason Mraz song that made me think of those early days in our relationship:All I really want to do is love you.A kind much closer than friends use, but I still can't say it after all we've been through.And all I really want from you is to feel me.As the feeling inside keeps building.And I will find a way to you if it kills me,if it kills me.Just two tips I want to share about this layout.For the numbers in 1995, I used a Colorbox fluid chalk ink pad in Yellow Cadmium to color the foam letter stickers. They were originally white.And for the canvas resist birds, I used Tattered Angels glimmer glaze in blue and Smooch Spritz in Tea Party to color them.
