Yes...dreams do come true. For me, my wedding day was one of them. I think back on that day, two and half weeks ago already, and even though it flew by in some ways, in other ways time stood still, and it was perfect. I don't mean that everything went perfect, I just mean that everything was perfect, in the way it all came together. I can remember feeling so vividly the presence of the Lord just hovering over me, us, the entire day.....and I'm so thankful to see how God has blessed us and gone before us. I haven't blogged in a while, because we've been busy relaxing in Jamaica (honeymoon), Christmas-ing in Dothan, and then trying to put our apartment together in B'ham all over the last week and half (and we are nowhere near done...does anyone like to paint?).
All the while, I'm trying to adjust to this thing called "married life," and being a wife. The general consensus right now is that I love it, and it's so much better than being engaged. I love being able to sit across from Sam and just stare at him sometimes, and think "he's my HUSBAND." Husband, that word stands with so much meaning, so much responsibility, which he seems to so naturally fall in to. And every time I see that big gold ring on his left hand, I smile...yeah I smile really big. I'm still trying to see myself as a wife, I know I am one now, it just might take a little more "sinking-in."
I look forward to where our first year together will take us, and my prayer is that we'll be faithful to go where God leads, and to trust when times are hard, and patient when we don't understand each other, and more loving each new day.
To my wonderful new husband: thank you in more than I can express, for liking me, loving me, sticking it out with me, and then marrying me. You are wonderful in more ways than you know.
je t'aime plus que hier, mais moin que demain. -whit
