"A (wo)man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of (her)his life in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of beautiful God has implanted in the human soul."- Goethe

On The Wings of Love

Our family motto is "No Caged Birds." One reason being that Kirk and I love to mock (it's a favorite pastime), and we always get a giggle out of husbands who claim to "give their wives their wings." Oh, please. As if a husband owns his wife's wings in the first place. I love it when Kirk allows me to fly, and it turns out that Kirk loves it when I let him have wings, too. We are sure to tell one another "thank you for giving me my wings" on a regular basis.

In all seriousness, though, following dreams has been an important facet of our marriage, which is what inspired me to create this:







It's been in the making for way too long for me to admit to, and I'm excited that it's finally finished! I used layers and layers of wall putty to fashion a giant low-relief wing on our wall. I hope whoever moves in after us doesn't mind wall sculptures...or hard work, because it's going to be a pain in the tookus to scrape off!

  2. I'm so glad that you're not caged. That would be triste.
