Did I stutter?

Well, this will be a short one tonight. I'm up to my eyeballs in paperwork trying to catch up on everything that I let slide over the last couple of weeks. If I were to work continuously overnight for the next 4 days I MIGHT catch up, but since that seems pretty unlikely, I will have to use some of the advice I give out every day....do what you can and then call it a day. It will still be there tomorrow! Somehow it always sounds better when I'm telling it to someone else.

Now to my brief point I wanted to make. I wasn't sure if I had made myself clear when I gave my little speech at the rehearsal dinner last Friday evening. We certainly had a good time at the Williams home with their tailgate party theme and great food and decorations. I think everyone enjoyed themselves tremendously. I was impressed with how many people fit into their backyard. There were a lot of people there!! Anyway, back to the speech thing. I had not really intended to do this thing, but it had been on my mind since I realized that it was sort of a thing for the parents to do. I knew Steve was not comfortable doing it and if you have read Rachel's blog you know that public speaking is on her list right around having splinters in her foot and going bald. So, I gave it a lot of thought the night before and even typed it up in case of a brain freeze.

My topic was on having someone "ADORE" you. I chose that because I have talked so often to the girls about that being how it is supposed to be. Not just being loved by someone, but totally adored. I talked about that because that is how I feel about Steve and how he makes me feel every day of my life. I never felt that way until I met Steve and I can't imagine not feeling that kind of love. My girls know this. I think Greg knows it too because I do talk about feeling adored and the importance of it because it helps you to overlook someones mistakes and flaws.

Somewhere along the way though I wonder if people thought I said ignore instead of adore. Does that sound like what I was talking about? That's not what relationships need. I've had that and most of us have had a relationship where we were the afterthought, the "person to call when no one else calls with something to do." That is not a good place to be. Adore does not mean ignore. Not by any stretch of the imagination. If I stuttered or stammered in my speech somewhere, please accept my humble apologies right now.
