shop opening: day 2.

Today is the second day of the shop's opening week and this little welcome card is today's new item!

I made this card with my sister-in-law in mind. For the past year and a half, she's been on a mission for our church, and Tuesday night, we finally got to welcome her home (via Skype)!

The first interaction she and I had happened via text messaging, while Jordan and I were shopping for wedding rings. It went a little like this:

Me: Hi, Kinsey! This is Tori. I was just wondering if you would be one of my bridesmaids at our wedding?
Kinsey: Haha, yeah. 

Shortly after our conversation, Jordan got a text from her that saying that she thought it was funny that our first conversation was about our wedding plans; we were going to be sisters and we didn't even know one another.

And the first time I met the rest of Jordan's family, we were in Hollywood Studios in Florida and I was dancing my little heart out to a High School Musical parade. I was a little embarrassed when I heard them laughing behind me.

First impressions aren't really my strong suit.

So, new in the TPOC shop today: the "Love is Like" print and card.

When I fell in love with my husband, my whole world changed. The feeling came so subtly and was so natural, and yet, after it was rooted in my heart, everything was different. From that moment on, I couldn't imagine life without him.

That same feeling came when I felt this little one kick for the first time. That was the moment it all became real: we're having a child. That tiny kick, that realization changed everything once more. I now have someone else to love, someone else to share my heart with. And even though I can't hold this little someone in my arms yet, they are here, they are real and they are mine... and I can't imagine life without them.

Love is like having a color television set. You never wanna go back to black and white.
