When I first started dating my boyfriend, I really liked him, but I couldn't help comparing us to my best friend and her boyfriend of a year. It wasn't until later that I realized that not only was my boyfriend completely different from her boyfriend, but that I was completely different from my best friend. That we were two different but unique and beautiful couples. I love my boyfriend now, and realizing that we are amazing together and different from others, really helped me through that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14543298296404613054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620417497874038390.post-45926015778976311582012-03-07T13:10:07.015-05:002012-03-07T13:10:07.015-05:00This is amazing.

Must snatch up all those moments of happy contentedness while they last, and let them prolong themselves and linger on.<br /><br />One quote I love: They do what they do, you do what you do. Reminds me that this is my beautiful unique life and I wouldn't have it mirror someone else's for anything!ladaisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348955254558187266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620417497874038390.post-62891406517628808162012-03-06T20:34:41.460-05:002012-03-06T20:34:41.460-05:00This series is so amazing, and I love picturing re...This series is so amazing, and I love picturing relationship islands now- what a fabulous way to put it.erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432371971747985519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620417497874038390.post-52032793838241353702012-03-06T19:39:46.463-05:002012-03-06T19:39:46.463-05:00Great post, we can admire other relationships and ...Great post, we can admire other relationships and other people without losing ourselves.

Lately, I have been thinking back to how different things used to be - when we were both working and didn't have a baby. How we had plenty of money and never had to think about whether going out to dinner was a good idea or not. Things were certainly different back then, sometimes easier, but definitely not better. We are still finding our groove with one income and a baby, but I am happier than I have ever been.Kirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17575752353533259832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620417497874038390.post-54493954364545001872012-03-06T11:52:11.175-05:002012-03-06T11:52:11.175-05:00Oh my gosh,this is breathtaking Courtney, absolute...Oh my gosh,this is breathtaking Courtney, absolutely beautiful.
