Married and lovin' it!

So, marriage is awesome. It's totally worth the wait too! I've been telling a lot of people lately- "Marriage is awesome when you have the right person, it would be awful if you "just got married" to anyone and have to live with a poor choice for the rest of your life!" I'm so thankful I married who God had prepared!  There is such pressure in our society for young people to be married young. It's sad! There are many I know of who have this feeling of "if I don't get married before I'm 20 years old then I must not be attractive or something is wrong with me." I've seriously heard that said. If you are one of those people and are reading this right now, take heart and know that God is watching over you and KNOWS who you are to marry WHEN you are to marry them! :) If you're anything like me they might be your current best friend-that's who I married! 
There are so many people we have to thank for making our day beautiful! Nothing went wrong that day. I was absolutely overjoyed with how my dress turned out! The food was delicious! The music was super fun! The ceremony was wonderful! It was a dream come true. Walking down the aisle to my best friend is a memory that is forever locked in my mind. We have so enjoyed these first 5 weeks of marriage. They have been filled with challenges (the kind you rise up to and grow together from), sheer joy and deeper intimacy in our relationship with God and each other.
We want all of our family and friends to know that your love and support during the time of our engagement and now our marriage means the world to us, verbal and written "thank you's" cannot begin to express how thankful we are for you all. :)
