To appeal to all of our readers, I am going to start off with a little sports talk, pop culture and then work my way into the love/wedding/romance portion.
Sports Talk with KP:
Kentucky beat Tennessee. I see no need to go further on that subject.
Nuff Said.
Pop Culture:
I have gone from being able to discuss reality TV with the best of them to not even having time to watch the episodes I’ve missed saved on my DVR. Conversations now go:
Excited conversationalist: Katie, did you see The Bachelor last night?!?!?!?!!!
Me: No, I was at a basketball game…How was it?
Excited conversationalist: Oh…. it was wild.
Me: Crazy girls on that show.
Excited conversationalist: Yea…
THE END! What a lame-O I have become. I need an iPad where I can watch episodes at their regularly scheduled times WHILE feigning(not always) interest at whatever basketball game I am at. People beside me would be able to hear a string of comments that go something like this…Yay, we scored! What a tramp. FOUL!!! She is lying, Ben. Are you blind?!! How freaking sweet is that. …Where is everyone?
On another note, the Golden Globes were Sunday. I did not watch the entirety of the show, but I watched the red carpet. Here are my favorites from the night:
Zooey Deschanel-She can do no wrong in my eyes. So adorable!
Sofia Vergara- Sexy and gorgeous as usualGerard Butler-Keaton, please consider this tux for the wedding!!!! I love you, Gerard.
Leonardo DiCaprio-I like this tux too!! So legit.
Paula Patton-MOST FAVE!!!!
Kate Beckinsale- Beautiful.
Love/Romance:
Boys can stop reading here…however, you may find some beneficial information if you read on.
My parents and I have the best neighbors in the world. They are Buddy and Mary Lewis. You will not find two more kind and genuine people than them. As an engagement gift, Buddy and Mary gave Keaton and I a book called The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God by Timothy Keller. Mr. Keller is a pastor to Redeemer Presbyterian Church and a New York Times Bestselling author.
This may end up being the best gift Keaton and I receive throughout this whole wedding affair. I am only 50 pages in and have discovered so many things about what the real beauty of marriage and relationships is and what it ACTUALLY looks like. It is a far cry from what we dream in our heads as little girls and as teenagers watching too many romance movies dreaming about that one, PERFECT guy.
Mr. Keller discusses the issues we face in marriage growing up in a culture that is incredibly self-centered. He even references his incredulity at a recent New York Times article entitled, “A Happy Marriage is the ‘Me’ Marriage”. Isn’t that crazy?! I know for a fact that mine and Keaton’s relationship suffers the MOST when I am focusing on me, myself and I. There is so much to learn, not just to have a great marriage with Keaton, but to live as a better witness of the love God wants us to show to others. I highly recommend it for single people and those in a relationship. It is beneficial information for all. My mom and dad have requested my book once I am done with it.
I’ve attached below a link that made a run on Facebook. I read it and thought, “This sounds just like the Meaning of Marriage book”. Turns out it was a magazine article written by Timothy Keller. Ha. So here is the link. Enjoy!
