What we Remember

Back on November 14, 2009 I entered into a sacred union to a man that I love. Everyone always said:

"The day will be gone in a flash, so take time to remember moments"

How true are those words...I can hardly believe how fast the time went and now I am almost 3 months married!?! 

The moments I remember:

Leading up to the wedding day that I was worried I would cry the whole way through because I knew that my dad would do the same. But from many prayers of friends and family, I did nothing but SMILE! I was so happy and excited on the new journey I was about to begin.

Seeing my husband waiting for me at the end of the isle ready to take me as his bride.

Hearing the beautiful music sung by a talented singer.

Singing the Gloria and feeling complete with joy at the presence of God!

Not being afraid of speaking into the microphone for the vows!!!

Having fun with our first dance.

Receiving a priceless gift of a handmade rosary from my Grandpa made by my great aunt Sr. Marie. (the one moment tears fell from my face at the honor of receiving such a gift)

Listening to my Dad give a speech, making me tear up once again.

Receiving a text from my brother that was not able to make it to the wedding, it was so profound and meaningful. So much so that anyone that read it was rendered to tears.

Listening to my sister say that she finally realized how much I look up to her and enjoy her in my life. (ok so I cried a few times...)

3 months later... say I am doing good at remembering those moments. Since being married there has been only one question that I never really know how to answer but one that is asked often:

"What do you like about being married?"

And to that I don't really have any profound answer. I don't think much is different; I enjoy life in all of its stages and this just feels natural, like it has always been. The one thing that is nice is getting to live with your best friend. I love to come home each day excited to share things with my husband. I love bouncing ideas off of him and trying to get him to argue with me ;) purely for debating issues...or just to push his buttons. I can't image going to bed without him by my side, nor can I imagine a life without him there. He is everything to me. He does anything for me and I am so lucky to have found such a wonderful man to marry. He is so good to me, at random he brings home flowers usually paired with chocolate just because. ...so maybe that answers it...
