I can't believe John & I have already been married for three weeks! Time passes so quickly. Life has been wonderful! We have been busy, but thankfully productive in our busyness.
I am enjoying being a wife, & homemaker. Setting up out home & making it homey has been fun, & a true blessing! God is so good to us!

Our honeymoon was a very sweet time! We went down to Galveston for a few days & then drove to our new home!

Adjusting to life with only two has been interesting. I am amazed at how clean the house stays, and how much food I am used to preparing! John has been wonderfully patient with me as I figure out how to cook dinner for two instead of 11! (My grandparents have recently moved in with my family). It is very quiet during the day when John is at work, but when I feel like I need some noise, I'll turn on some music to play through the house.

It is interesting being the oldest daughter & married & my mom expecting number 8! She is due some time in October.

It has been a blessing to see how my dear younger sisters have stepped up in their roles as new oldest sisters. They are doing very well in replacing me! ;-) Even Liana & Lydia!  It's interesting to once in a while see my siblings and see how they have changed in such a short time. Both in maturity, and life stages. Jaden is saying more intelligible sentences, and words, and just as precious as ever! They grow up fast. He is two.

John has been a wonderful godly husband and example to me in  many many things. I am very grateful that God saw fit to bring us together.

Wedding, Wedding, & More Wedding!

These last two months have been quite busy with life, & wedding planning! Within the first few days after John & I got engaged, we had a facility reserved & a date set!  We will be getting married on June 4, 2011!   The plans are coming together bit by bit, and I can't wait to see it all put together!
You can view our wedding website here.

Below are a few of our engagement pictures:
