one month

my bff just called to tell me how much she loves being married.  i couldn't agree more.

i would never dismiss my single life as something to be forgotten or trivialized as an unimportant part of my life. i cherish that time and the experiences i had, the friends i made, the lessons i learned and the knowledge i gained. but, as one of my favorite friends whom i never get to see once told me, "there's something really magical about being someone's wife."  again, i couldn't agree more.

the only way i can describe this past month is that it's been the worst month... and the best month of my life. fortunately, the best parts far, far, far outweigh the worst parts. does that make sense?

there's nothing quite like being married to bring out all of your faults and shortcomings and weaknesses.
there's nothing quite like being married to realize how differently you were raised than other people.
there's nothing quite like being married to test your patience and tolerance.
there's nothing quite like being married to recognize the differences between you and your spouse.

there's also nothing quite like being married to fully understand how to love and be loved. to give and receive. to serve and be served.

it is kind of magical.


ily, m. happy one month.

june roses

one of my favorite quotes is from scottish poet james barrie:

"god gave us memories that we might have june roses in the december of our lives."

well, this past month has been full of roses.

steele prom and the last day of school.

bridal shower hosted by fabulous friends.

licensed to marry.

family in town - celebrating june/july birthdays.

surprise bridal luncheon @ trufire with my favorite people.

romney/ryan family dinner @ sushi zushi.

wedding day (aka best. day. ever.). official photos coming soon.

honeymoon in kauai (aka paradise). 

m and i have survived our first two weeks of wedded bliss (yay!).  there are good days and bad days, but above all, there is a lot of love.  as we have been organizing and putting our house together, we are finding that we have a lot of growing and learning to do. i am so grateful for mitchell and his patience and kindness.  he is a wonderful husband and friend, and i am loving our life together so far.


looking forward to a lifetime of june roses.
