Happily After All

"Happily After All"

And no it isn't a typo. I know the normal fairy tale saying goes something along the lines of "....and they lived happily ever after." But I've always like "Happily after all" much better.

Fairytales are nice and all, but they're not realistic, nor does anyone actually get to live one, as perfect as life may be at times. That's why I favor "happily after all."

I read a book one time when I was in grade school called "Happily After All" and it was all about getting to a point in your life when you're finally happy, after all the crap that has happened to you in life.

That's really where I'm at in my life right now. I finally found the man I'm supposed to be with, that I'm going to marry and spend the rest of my life with. I'm happy now, after all the crappy boys I've dated and had to deal with. I'm finally happy with my family and get along with my parents and sister after all the fighting and bickering we did while I was growing up. After all the school I've put up with, and having to live here away from my friends and family, I'm happy that I'm almost done.

Getting the idea?? I'm living happily after all =]
