I have finally decided to be honest with myself: I am a lover of the color pink.
I know! It seems to go against everything that I stand for and support. I have defied the color pink since kindergarten when boys were blue and girls were not.
I refused to be pink- I was yellow or I would not respond. Teachers had to make exceptions for me and I have not changed!
At least I told myself I haven't.
I have chosen various shades of red, yellow and orange as favorites over the years. I HAVE loved those colors-truly I have. But now the truth comes out...the rosy, bubble gum flavored truth-its all pink for me now.
I suppose I have been a closet pink lover since my wedding when my flowers and dress accents were the aforementioned color. It just felt right to be surrounded by pink. I felt delightfully girlie and bright.
I was going over some pictures of the event when the truth reared its ugly head and I was forced to acknowledge it.
Then I recalled the time we discovered our baby was a boy and the disappointment of letting my little pink visions go. I really should have known then.
Bobby has been telling me for years that I like the color but I have vehemently denied it. It would have been smart to have had the inner dialogue then.
Alas, I cannot go back.
Well kids, I'm out!
My name is Nanette and I love PINK!
Ah, I feel better now.
I will, from this day forward, be unafraid to Think Pink!

You do realize that Brittany is the Queen of Pink!
Yes Dear John, she will always rule. All hail the Queen! :0)
I think I like pink too, but only hot pink, or fuschia. Shhh, don't tell anyone ;)
I was just thinking this yesterday! After noticing that I have a handful of pink shirts/sweaters in my closet. It has been creeping up on me since I found this quote and pasted it into a scrapbook (does anyone paste anymore? Only on the computer) "Discover the power of pink, the color of caring, compassion, peace and nurturing. Let is serve as a reminder to set aside time to take care of yourself." So there!
Haha, Mena, you are busted. I, for one, have always liked pink and have no trouble admitting it. I even have a pink toolbox!
Wear it Loud wear it proud! Pink is the color designed specifically for girls. I go through color phases too...right now I think I am going through a red and black phase...but I always keep pink nearby!
p.s. those were beautiful pictures of your wedding! The colors were PERFECT!
