the day I became Mrs. Björk...

Well, I did say that the next time I wrote that my name would be changed and I would be a wife and have a HUSBAND!  So here I am writing as a newly married woman with a new name! Oh Happy day! But I can't believe how quickly the time passes.  Lots of planning for that one day in July...  so perfect and lovely...a day I dreamed of  for many years!  Both Jonatan and I tried to take in as much as we could but there is so much to see and feel in such a short time...but we did enjoy the day and so did Laszlo too...he wanted fireworks and the got both that and sparklers so he was a happy camper.  Plus he looked like his Pappa all dressed up and looking oh so handsome!   I'm not going to write so much more tonight, I'll let the photos say the rest. I did want to post just a few so you all could get a glimpse of the day... more photos are to come when our lovely photographer, http://www.emilyelizabethphoto.com/, finishes all the editing from our wedding day!  And, since many of you were not able to be here on our day, if want a bit more description from our day, then check our our lovely friend's tale of the day: http://katieworner.blogspot.com/.  Enjoy!

...just a few days left...

Well I need to be in bed... but I just thought I'd post a little update since it's been just about 2 months since my last post.  It's now closing in on the date of July 23rd...which is the day I am going to become a wife!  I will be marring the man I have fallen deeply in love with and the one I continue to fall in love with each day.  He's got lovely blue eyes and is such a hard worker a wonderful bread maker and is becoming a wonderful father to our son Laszlo.  He's AMAZING!  I can't wait for my man to become my husband!  So after this weekend we will become a true and daily family... Laz will have a Pappa that will share our daily life and I will have a man to love on and a house to share with him.  So many things are changing but we are excited!  Plus my family has been here the past few weeks and Jonatan's parents as well.  We could not have put this wedding together without them!  So thank you family for all your love and support and hard work!!!  It's going to be lovely!  A blessing that we could all be together and just enjoy one another even though our visits are few and far between.  

Ok, I will post again... but the next one will be after I have changed my name from Brown to Björk!

Happy Easter

Hope your Easter weekend was as relaxing as ours.  A time of being together, Enjoying the loveliness of Spring, and talking of why we Celebrate this weekend of Life and Joy!   Peace to your households this Spring! Remember the Life given in Love so we can have True life and friendship. 

well, it's happened...

I now have a ring on my finger and not just any ring, my grandmothers engagement ring promised to me years ago for me to have when I met and fell in love with what was to be my man.  And now I have fallen in love with an incredible man that asked me to share his life with him and who has chosen to love Laszlo and I..... and of course I said YES!!!  

And this is how Laszlo thought it was done:  

Winter Days...

and now he is 8!

I think this picture says it all...he was a very happy boy that day seeing the room filled with balloons, his wonderful, fun, and yummy monkey cake that he and Jonte made, the party games played and lovely gift he received from all his friends.  And I was a mama that had a moment of "oh my, he's getting big.  I can't believe he's 8...I'm a mama of an 8 year old!" All in all it was a great day but I sure did have a tired boy after all that party time and a 6am wake up!
