 ~*~*~

Here is a peek into my story Vows:

 Prologue:
Life isn't easy. Whoever said that it was is a fool. Just when you think things can't get any worse, they do. I’m sure my life looks perfect to others, I have a beautiful home, two wonderful girls, and a sexy husband. I am living the American dream. I should be happy, right?
Then why do I feel so empty, so numb? Life goes on, day after day. I see it moving around me; I just can't feel it. Don't get me wrong. I love my girls with everything I am. Tyler, my husband, is a different story. I do believe that I love him on some level. I’m just not in love with him anymore. When did it all fall apart? Was there any way to stop the downward spiral of my life?
I smile as I think of the one constant in my life: my best friend Peyton. She is my rock, my confidant, and my sanity. She is always there to pick me up when I fall. She is the eternal optimist. Her favorite saying is, “You sometimes have to change things within yourself before you can expect the things around you to change.”

    hmmm okay, I this may sound corny, but my hubby since our marriage seems to be doing a little better. It would be nice to have one romantic evening with him and not worry about waking our son up.

    Merry Gentry (Fictional character from the Merry Gentry series by Laurell K. Hamilton)

    I love her character. She is fiesty and fun. She has gorgeous men around her all day. And she is Sidhe and I have a think for Fairies and their myths, legends, tales, etc.

    Hmmm... I would have to say my hubby. He can be a pain in the ass most of the time but I still love him. I can still dream of all the fictional characters.

    Okay, I know this makes me a total nerd, but I would love to spend Valentines Day with Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird. Sharp, fair-minded, altruistic, and a hell of a single father. My favorite flavor . . .

    I really want to spend Valentine's day with my cousin. Not for a romantic reason but because Valentine's day is also her birthday. This Valentine's day she would have been 28, but she never passed her 9th birthday. I have heard so many amazing things about her but I have no memories of her myself as I was less than a year when God chose to take her. So if I could spend Valentines with anyone, it would definitely be my cousin.

  10. That's so awesome babe. And just in time for the holiday. Love is in the air.

    Oh dear Lord woman you know who it would be. Emmett Cullen (Twilight) hands down. Vampire body and all! Heck I would even settle for his alter ego Kellan Lutz. Then again, Emmett wouldn't need to breathe....*waggles eyebrows*

  11. I'd like to spend Valentine's Day with the person I love most. We aren't together at the moment, and this day is a reminder that the love we once had is missing. Just sad...

    You have my email addy, but here it is just in case. Dinx219@gmail.com

    Congrats on being published, sweets! I'm so happy for you. I hope you sell lots and lots of copies! :)

  12. Hey Tazzy!

    I would choose my daddy because it will soon be ten years since he's been gone & he was my very best friend! I went to him with & for everything. He was the most intelligent person I've ever met. I miss him so much every day!

    But if I could meet a living person...I know you think I'm gonna say my beloved Jackson, but it is actually Josh Temple from House Crashers on HGTV! He's hot & he'd redo my house for free! As sexy as Jackson is, I don't see him doing that for me! :)

    I'm so proud of you for your achievements & to say 'I knew her when...'!

    I love ya, girl! I hope you have a Happy VDay!

      Any man who is hot and can redo a house is golden in my book!

      Happy heart day!
