Married

We did it! We sealed the deal last week, and oh how great of a day it was. It was very literally everything I could have imagined and hoped for. It made every ounce of planning worth it. I never could have done it without the help, love, and support of so many... I am blessed.

I won't say "I have the best husband ever" because that's not true. Every woman would make that argument. But I will say this, I married the perfect man for ME. I literally am taken back several times a day with the overwhelming feeling of GRATITUDE. And when I get complacent, or selfish, I remember how spoiled I am. I remember how gracious my Father in Heaven has been to me. How he has sent so many tender mercies and miracles that have gotten us to this point.

I don't ever want to forget. I don't want to forget the memories and the feelings leading up to our wedding. I don't want to forget the crazy anticipation of that day. I won't forget the feeling of walking in the temple and seeing the room full of my dearest family and friends. That was an extremely tender moment for me. I don't want to forget saying "YES" to my sweet husband, agreeing to be is wife, his companion, willing to live righteously together forever. I don't want to forget the celebration that took place the rest of the day. The support I recieved. The laughter and tears. It would be impossible to capture the essense of that day in words, but in my heart, I never want to forget.

My goal now is to keep the celebration alive. I want to celebrate everyday the fact that I'm married to my best friend. So what if we had to move all our stuff into a tiny apartment for just two weeks before we have to move it all out again. So what if we have to move to Wisconsin, far far away from family. The fact is, we are in it together, and that's what makes everyday worth celebrating.

This really is a new journey, I'm trying to figure out my role now as wife and homemaker. But how lucky and grateful I feel to be embarking on this journey. How blessed I know I am to have a supportive, patient, selfless husband who teaches me so much. I know that as long as we strive to do our best, and keep Christ at the center of our lives, we can enjoy the journey.

Thanks for all the incredible friends and family members how made it possible for us to be where we are. All those who were in the background making our special day as perfect as possible. You know who you are.

So blessed.
