    “I don't always change my clothes just because I'm leaving the house. I wear yoga pants 99 percent of the time, and I pretend that other people don't notice that I'm wearing my pajamas in public.”

    Shauna Niequist
    “Everybody has a home team: It’s the people you call when you get a flat tire or when something terrible happens. It’s the people who, near or far, know everything that’s wrong with you and love you anyways. These are the ones who tell you their secrets, who get themselves a glass of water without asking when they’re at your house. These are the people who cry when you cry. These are your people, your middle-of-the-night, no-matter-what people.”

    Lisa Kleypas
    “Dear Miss Independent,

    I've decided that of all the women I've ever known, you are the only one I will ever love more than hunting, fishing, football, and power tools.

    You may not know this, but the other time I asked you to marry me, the night I put the crib together, I meant it. Even though I knew you weren't ready.
    God, I hope you're ready now.

    Marry me, Ella. Because no matter where you go or what you do, I'll love you every day for the rest of my life.

    —Jack”

    I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn
