{August 14, 2008} Goodbye

Goodbye is such a big part of our life. I just felt the need to do something with the emotion.

Journaling says:

My love,
The hardest thing about being your wife, is having to watch you walk away.
Sometimes it seems that I am destined to watch you walk away for the rest of my life. Those first few hours without you, knowing you won’t be back for days/weeks/months, those are the the hardest. Eventually, I pull it together, & life moves on. But I will always miss you while you are gone. I feel your love, your support even from an ocean away, but I crave your arms around me. You are my soft place to fall. My rock when the world seems to be against me. I miss not having you here, with me, but I understand why you must go. So go. Honor, Courage, & Commitment.
But please,
Hurry home. We need you.
your loving wife

{August 13, 2008} Birth of a Soccer Mom

GeekBoy has decided to play soccer. This is a big step for him, this getting off the computer and going outside. *S* But the registration has been paid, the chin guards bought, there’s no backing out now!

Most of this layout came from “MVP” by Dani Mogstad @ Sweet Shoppe Designs. The soccer ball bkg I used for a photo matte is from Heather Roselli’s “Sports-Soccer”, also @ Sweet Shoppe Designs. Word art came from “And I Quote… Athletes” by Manda Bean, and the note paper is by MandaBean, found in a TwoScoops kit, “Boys & their Toys” by Manda Bean & Zoe Pearn, at, you guessed it, Sweet Shoppe Designs.
The stitching on the ribbon (recolored to match) came from a Miss Mint kit, I think it was “Foxy Lady”. The knot at the begining of the ribbon is a Christina Renee (extraced from a star, and recolored to match) blog freebie. I also used some “Picture Blankets” versions I & II by Traci Reed. The journalling font is one of my favs, Angelina.

Feels good to scrap again. Now i just need to carve out more time for this.
