"There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't."

Rabindranath Tagore
Nobel Prize Winner for Literature 1913

May you be the first as I am! Warning: That may mean you fall flat on your face at times.

Up and running!

Well with ACTs behind me and a long wait till the results are in I've finally gotten started on my shop and am now closing this blog for good. I hope that I'm better about the new blog than I've been with this one. But as most of you know I'd rather talk with you than just type away on the computer any day! The new blog will be GollyMezzo.blogspot.com and the first shop is GollyMezzo.artfire.com, and you can follow me on facebook too just look up Golly Mezzo!

I hope that you will check it out and spread the word! Many of you have received some of the items that you will see there. I just craft to much, lol! They're starting to take over the house since I can't seem to find enough reasons to give them away. So maybe with a bit of blessing, I will be able to support my habit of crafting! The nice thing about artfire is that you don't have to be a member to purchase things. As long as you have a paypal account (some people have other options too) you can purchase from there. Many of the handmade sites will make you have an account with them before you can purchase through them. It's one of the many reasons that I choose artfire.

Well I need to get more things on there and update the new blog and the facebook. I still need to update avatars and banners and the like! But before I do that I would like to get more things posted in the shop.

I hope to see you around at the new sites!

Something Special For You Love!

Throughout history there are legends, myths, stories, tales, fables, and many other ways of calling it about soul mates and true love. The Sumerians had the god of An and the goddess Ki, the Bible has Adam and Eve, Greek mythology has Zeus tearing humans apart from each other, Shakespeare chose tragedy to get his point across, the Bhagavad Gita has Arjuna and Krishna, the Talmud proclaims "Forty days prior to the formation of a child, a Heavenly Voice cries out saying "the daughter of so and so is destined for so in so", the Romans had Cupid and Psyche, the Chinese have yin and yang, the Quran speaks of being able to energize with the mate created from your souls, today you can turn on any country station and hear ballads composed about them, and the list goes on and on!

Every year around this time everyone is running around worried about taxes on the 15. I'm running around for a completely different reason. Every year I try to figure out what I should get you for our anniversary. Then most years the 15th rolls around and I'm still confused and you hand me a card that professes the love you have for me, and then I usually ball. Every year no matter how it has gone (and we've seen some dingers!) or how it will be I know that you are there.

This year I'm going to beat you to it:

15 years ago I got to do what most girls dream of, and many women wish for. I got to marry the love of my life, you. No one thought it would last. After all I was 18 in my junior year of school. You were 19 and had just started in the military and were headed to Korea. Your pay barely covered the ring and car payment. I was going to live with your parents and finish my senior year of high school while you went off to Korea for a year. "Wait till he returns", "Are you pregnant", "You're too young", "It'll never last", "Are you sure", "You don't know each other", and many more excuses were thrown at us. And yet through all the doubt that surrounded us, we knew! We knew that for what ever reason the universe threw us together against all odds, and there was no way that we were going to allow it to try and tear us apart. That day when we said that we would take each other for all it was worth-hardly anyone could hear. But I heard you loud and clear just as you heard me. Well today let the whole world hear! 15 years and counting! I can't say that I love you more today than I did on that day because it would cheapen that day. I can tell you that I love just as much as I did that day! We have grown and changed together and I wouldn't have it any other way. We've seen heart ache, 2 beautiful miracles, joy, and so much more.

There have been many who said we started with nothing. They were all wrong! We had it all, and still have-each other. No matter where we are in the world or in our lives, know that I love and support you in all that we do together. I'm looking forward to the next 50 years. Happy 15th Aniversary my love.

BRING IT ON WORLD WE'RE READY!

Your loving wife,
Anni

Coming together in the end!

Well it looks like I might be up and going sooner than I thought. I have an appointment with the accountant on Monday! Depending on what all he says I need will really depend on how soon I'm up and running. After Monday I have ACTs on Saturday so I could be finishing up my shop as soon as Sunday. I'll let you know more on Monday if I can. I will say that this coming week will have me with my nose in videos and books reviewing more Geometry than I ever care to do again. But considering that I never actually took it in high school 14 years ago I think I'll do okay. Thank you public librarys!! What Geometry has to do with accounting I'll never know but I'll know how to figure out the area of anything from now on.

I hope you all enjoy your Easter weekend.
