A Mid-February Night Dream

Hello! Sorry, it has been awhile since a update has come. Well, life isn't much different except that I have a different attitude than the one I have had the last two weeks. A better one. Go me.

Donovan just finished a week off of work and it was so nice to spend time together, we snuggled, watched lots of tv, lots of sightseeing, drinking of coffee, and just enjoying each others company. Stratford-upon-Avon was incredible! Except for the modern conveniences it feels like this awesome little old fashioned town. The buildings are the same from when Shakespeare lived there and it just has a wonderful feeling about it. I loved the fact that you could walk the entire town in about 20 minutes. People were friendlier there, the air smelt better, the air was clearer, all in all. I'm in love with Shakespeare's town. I had done a paper on William Shakespeare in grade 12 and I thought I had learned everything I could...but I learned so much more! He led a fascinating life. It was also absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. Our Anniversary was wonderful. Besides the fact that Donovan was sick, we spent the day sightseeing then after lunch went back to the B&B and rested then we went for a nice supper and went to Starbucks where I read and Donovan presented me with a Shakespearean Love Sonnet for our Anniversary. I have his permission to share it with you all so I'll tack it on to the end of this.

We are both doing well, a couple of weeks of me being sick, Donovan being sick, me being sick, Donovan being sick...you get the picture. I think we are both finally on the mend and doing much better. Donovan is unsure what this next semester is going to bring since as of this morning when he headed off he had no idea what he was supposed to do for most of his classes. From what we can gather from some people that is not normal. Teaching is different over here, but it isn't supposed to be that different.

I am getting a better attitude about being home alone everyday. Sometimes I let it consume in a bad way and I get all cranky and depressed...but no more. I am getting back in the routine of my devotion and that is that!

Here is the Love Sonnet.

And so it is, we two for two years wed.
Two years ago, this day, we spoke our vow
That we, though two, as one, one path would tread.
And we as one, have walked from then till now.

On that sweet day to you I did declare
My heart, my soul, my love, and all in me.
I thanked our God that He, to me, did dare
entrust a gift so great, so heavenly.

And through our years of marriage I hold sure.
From then till now and onward till we've passed
this truth: that which declared by us endure,
this love inside my heart I know will last.

Dear, I was ever lost till you I found
And never free, till you and I were bound.


And yes, I did bawl my eye balls out.

Have a blessed week!
