Writing our obituary



Picture

Yesterday evening Drew and I did something that we never thought we would ever do....we were challenged in our premarital class to write our own obituary. 

Yes, you heard that right -- obituary. 

It was scary, exhilarating and awakening all at the same time. 

It took forever to conger up the words to write out what I thought my life would encompass up to my dying day. 

Soon the pen began to move and the lines filled up, some got crossed off the list and others got circled. Eyes welled up. Tears came for a short moment and soon it was clear. 

It's startling to see the big goals written out --from myself-- on a piece of paper looking me dead in the face. Almost a subconscious reaction or flow to what I had been thinking for so many years... bottled up, and let loose on paper.

Smack-dab in the middle of my scribbles and sentences, I included...NO REGRETS. 

We have no pulse on when our lives will end. 

What we do have is right now, this moment, this day, to make changes to LIVE out our best lives. 

In less than 60 days, I marry my best friend. My soon to be husband is the most incredible life-partner I could have EVER asked for to share on this journey. 

After last night, we're forever changed. 

Each moment is so precious.

So, obituary, when I leave this world may those around me know that WE lived a life of #NOREGRETS
