You Capture: Hope

If you’ve never been to Beth’s blog, I Should Be Folding Laundry, go now.  It’s an amazing blog written by an amazing woman and I am such a big fan of it now.

She does a great Thursday prompt called You Capture where she gives you a word and you go “capture” that word in a photo.  You don’t have to be a professional photographer and you can even take the pic with your cell phone but it’s the word you capture that’s the key.

This week?

Hope.

Okay a little background before you jump to any conclusions here!

This was a bottle of wonderfully, delicious (and expensive) wine that I had been saving for a few years for a special occasion.  I got this before Stephen and I ever met and was storing it in a cabinet waiting for the right moment.

I decided to open it the night he moved in with me.  It seemed like a huge milestone for us and a big moment in our relationship.  The move was last minute due to some roommate issues but it was a move nonetheless.  We were now living together, sharing bills, buying groceries, essentially married and it was a huge deal to me.

So I popped this and we enjoyed it on our ratty couch in our tiny apartment and I felt hope.  Hope that this would work  and our relationship would mature into something wonderful.

We were married three years later.
