Happy One Month!

It's been exactly one both. On August 21, Brad and I got married. At times, it seems so long ago, and at other times, I can't believe we are married. I still have those moments, of whoa...I'm married...and my name changed. It has been quite an adventure in the past month, but I will say this..being married has been such a blessing. I've loved it...pretty much every part of it. And I love knowing that at the end of every day no matter what happened or who I saw, I get to see Brad when its all over and I love it. So in honor of being married and changing my name I'd like to share some special newyled moments/suprises in the form of an acrostic.

S- Seat - Brad leaves the toilet seat up and I have fallen in numerous times. He usually knows I've fallen in when he hears me scream. It's not one of my prettier moments. 2 1/2 years of dating, and i've never fallen in the toilet...1 month of being married, and i can't even count how many times i've fallen in. I just don't get it.

N - Nightime - What I love most about being married is that when they day is over, I get to see Brad...every night and every night I cuddle him to death :) We pretty much only sleep on half of our king size bed. (I told him it was too big for us) .People keep telling me that it won't always be like this, but I think it will. :)

E - EA Sports - I never thought marriage life would be this much fun...Thanks to Uncle Ralph, Brad and I play the Wii pretty much every night. The Wii Tennis and now EA Sports' Grand Slam tennis are our favorites. We have had such a blast. I always thought married people read books and went to bed at 8, but it hasn't been like that at all, and I've loved it.

A - Adjustements - I have had to make some adjustments, and for someone who doesn't like change, like me, you would think some things would be hard for me: for example: getting a new name, moving, living with a boy, sharing a bathroom, sharing a bed, sharing a closet, pretty much just sharing (hello, only child) COOKING!, cleaning, trying not to snooze a bajillion times, not leaving my clothes on the floor after I change...Adjustments...we have had to do this. Both of us. But, of course it's worth it :)

D - Devotion - As you know, Brad is such loyal guy. He is completely devoted to me and to God. He is constantly encouarging me to be a better, gentler person and I am so grateful for that role he plays in my life. I'm excited to see where the Lord takes us next.

The Honeymoon

Brad and I in St. Lucia on the best honeymoon ever!!

August 21, 2009

I meant to post so much sooner, but being married is so fun and busy, I just haven't had time. But I did want you to be able to see the pics from the best day ever. :)

The wedding was perfect. It was beautiful. Even more beautiful than I expected. When I walked out on the aisle, I thought to myself, oh my gosh, this is better than I imagined. Walking down that aisle was a completely surreal experience. And the reception was soo fun. All I ever wanted to do at my wedding (besides get married) was dance and I sure did dance :) But really the most important thing was that at the end of the day I got to be married to the most amazing guy ever. Awesome. I hope you enjoy the pictures! Aren't Brad and I cute??
