My Prince Charming

~ The best kind of love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach out for more; that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. 

My best friend...24 years ago today you came into my life. After a year of being friends, I never imagined that this tall handsome young man home from college in North Carolina would be my...strong, hardworking, funny, charming, sensitive, loyal, faithful, and loving husband 24 years later. I was standing in the parking lot at his summer job with Lynn as she waited on her boyfriend to come out for lunch. As I noticed 2 guys walking out of the building, one in particular with a great smile was heading our way. To this day I remember what he was wearing; shorts, t-shirt, and Ralph Lauren Polo cologne. Not to mention, those big hazel green eyes (of course that depends on what he is wearing, sometimes they are a shade of blue). A smile and personality that could light up the world...well, it did mine. :) A moment in time I will never forget.  I'm amazed that years later you and I can still share with each other what we were wearing on the first day we met. Our first encounter, oh how we talked; laughed and flirted...I recall having rosy cheeks a few times. Our second encounter was in your front yard, barefooted and flirting again...stepping on each other toes. We would talk for hours on the phone. Our first date....oh, how I remember it well and I know you do too. I'll share that some other time. :) 

My grandmother told me you were going to be the "one" I would marry some day.....5 years later. Ha! We were in no rush, still had some growing up to do and school to finish, but in the process we became best friends and then we fell in love, my price charming...that scared me just a bit I must say. You have loved me through good times, trails, and heartache. You are my rock; you give me strength, love, and understanding. You have allowed me to grow as my own person, and spread my wings. Thank you so much for giving me the space to do so. Our love continues to grow stronger each day and with each phase in our relationship I will cherish. I look forward to our next 24 years and beyond...I feel so extremely blessed to have you in my life, you are an amazing father and husband. Thank you for our handsome and smart son, and although we lost a baby 2 years ago, it was still a blessing to share that very special moment with you...even through the tears we found laughter and a deeper love. Since then we gained a four legged baby called, "Riley" and although he truly belongs to our son, we both have attached ourselves to him as well. Oh, how he makes us all laugh to the point our bellies ache, who knew a dog could act just like a human. Thank you my prince charming & best friend for the best years of my life and for the years to come. I know they will be amazing! Happy 24 years and happy early Birthday my love! 

Love always, your wife.

                                                                                                                      

Spruce Up Your Home In The Carolinas With Color!

Color Consultations

Benefits of hiring a Color Consultant in Charlotte NC.

Spring is in the air, we want to spruce up our homes and what better way to do it by adding color!

Many color theorists throughout history have attempted to 'assign' colors to particular human emotions because they believe in the simple fact that a certain color can create a certain emotion in people. As well, there is an increasing number of studies linking colors to specific human responses. Many color consultants believe that the colors used in an environment may have a significant impact on the performance of people within that environment.

While perceptions of color are subjective, there are some color effects that have universal meaning. As an example let's use the color green. Green is thought to help heal and relieve stress. Green is often used in decorating for its calming effect. As an example of that; guests anxiously waiting to appear on a television program, often wait in a "green room".

Just consider how green is used in language: 'green thumb'... 'go green'... 'the grass is greener'...

Color Consulting... In the color world, warm colors are known as red, orange and yellow. Cooler colors would be green, blue and violet. Color can influence mood, alter energy, or affect a space's visual temperature. Depending on the feeling and energy that is desired in a particular room or space is what will guide you to the proper side of the color wheel. If you want a bright energetic feel, or a calm serene atmosphere, I will help you through the process of discovering your own personal palette of color! We can work together to change or add color to a single room, or change the interior or exterior color of your entire home. It's really up to you how far you want to go with it.
