Married Life

So, today is Monday- Back to real life
Post honeymoon is SO HARD.
My wedding day went extremely well with very little freak outs and stress. We worked all day long and didn't stop til the late hours of the night. I am so grateful for everyone who helped out during the wedding and also before and after. It could not have been done without all the help we had.

We left for Mexico on Sunday morning at 7:15 AM. The flight there went great although we almost missed our connecting flight to Mexico. We barely caught it and arrived on time. Initially I was terrified to be in Mexico. You hear all the horror stories about Mexico and how scary it is right now. Fortunately, it was amazing. Monday we just hung out at our hotel and swam and ate food. I have honestly never consumed so much food before in my life. Buffet style for every meal and the food in Mexico I feel is much worse than the food here (caloric/fat wise) Taste wise, Delicious!!! I was terrified that I had ballooned up in Mexico but came home and didn't gain any weight. It was probably because every single day there was collectively probably about a liter of sweat that left my body. This is NO JOKE! I have never ever in my life sweat as much as I did in Mexico. It was down right disgusting. I also took more showers in one week than I have ever. 1-3 showers a day depending on the days activities. It was absolutely crazy.

Tuesday was the most awesome day. We took a boat ride to this island where we then took a truck into the jungle. When we arrived to where we were suppose to be we rode Mules to the top of the jungle and then we zip lined down to the bottom again. We also propelled down two waterfalls. It was one of the most adventurous and scariest things I've done but SO WORTH IT.

Wednesday it was a little rainy but we ate food, went in the ocean, swam in the pool, went to the zoo, and probably other things that I'm forgetting. The Zoo was really fun. You got to feed the animals it was just very hot!!!

Thursday my poor husband got sick. He slept ALL day. I was super lonely and I felt so bad for him. We did however make it to Rhythms of the night which is a Mexican history type show/dance they put on. It was so much fun and they also fed us a great dinner.

Friday we went to a private island and swam with the Fish. It was amazing!!! We snorkeled and I have never seen so many fish in my entire life and the funny thing was they were all just swimming around us. I had a water proof camera that I really hope worked under water. It was amazing.

Saturday we packed and came back to the US. I was so happy to be home but so sad to have to leave Mexico. It was so much fun.

We have currently been putting everything together for the apartment and it is hard work. We got a lot of great gifts that we are putting to use.

Getting married is awesome and I love being married. My husband is an amazing man and we are adjusting to life quite well. Some current hard parts......

Learning to sleep with someone is so hard. I like to have a whole bed to myself because when I sleep I sprawl out. You can't do that with a husband haha but I still love it. I like waking up and he's there. It's comforting.

Also, learning that I have someone else now to consider. I can't do whatever I want :p Work in progress!

I am so excited for the fall, Halloween, and the holidays. It's going to be Awesome!!!!

This day marks the last week that I will be a single unmarried woman. In a little under 6 days I will be married to the man that I have dreamed about since I was a little girl. It hits me in waves that my life will be so different in such a short time. Lately I've felt like events that happen in my life don't affect me as much as they used to. Maybe it's because I don't think about it all that often in knowing that I can worry myself to death. I know I will be unbelievably nervous on Saturday but I can't wait for it. I've been only able to imagine how sweet and wonderful it will be to fall asleep next to the man I love and wake up next to him but next week it will be the real thing. Not to mention be completely relaxed and laying on a beach for a week straight. I have never been on a vacation that long and it only seems appropriate for me to experience it all on my honeymoon. I've been trying to get used to the word "husband" but it's so foreign. I never thought this day would come but it's coming and approaching fast!

I've started moving my stuff into our apartment and last night I was there by myself for a little while and right there at the kitchen sink while washing dishes I almost started crying. For one, I don't like being alone at night and another, I'm just so happy and scared at the same time. I can't believe this is my life anymore. My life has taken a complete turn. I can't ever remember being "happy" and content with things as little as 3 years back. I was always looking for something better or something that could make me feel better. Currently days pass so quickly and I have forgotten everything that ever used to make me so crippling depressed. God has changed my life so much. I remember praying at night half heartedly for God to change my life and bring a godly man into it. It's evident now that he has been there, listened to my blistered heart and completely changed me. I was so jaded and now I do believe in genuine real love and  that anyone is capable of loving and being loved to their full potential. I think differently now and want to live my life according to God's standards. Maybe I'm just rambling at this point and not making much sense but I just feel overwhelmed with all these things but at the same time so happy.

Time

So, I'm getting married in 23 DAYS!!! I can not believe it is so soon. I can't wait though. The months from June til now have been a huge blur. With so much planning and moving and just trying to stay on top of things, it's been tough. I am truly blessed though and although I get so nervous every time I think of my wedding day, I am ecstatic. Life is truly about to take the biggest turn that you can ever take in your life. I will spend the rest of my life with Seth and it's a comforting feeling. Knowing that I have found that love that so many people are still searching for out there is comforting and I can not wait to start our life together.

We booked our honeymoon in Mexico! I've never been out of the country before and I'm a little nervous to go. We have read a million reviews on the place we'll be staying and we are going to have the time of our life :)

It's so weird to think about that everything that is "off limits" when your dating we will now get to experience. I have been itching to go on another vaca, go camping, and just travel but it's really hard when your not married! We can do whatever we want now without worry and it's going to be a GREAT thing!

I feel so blessed as we enter marriage! We've had so much support and friendships and it's been amazing!

I don't nearly write as much as I used to and I miss it sometimes.
My updates in life right now are so significant that I have a hard time keeping up. We have 72 days until our wedding. Sometimes it seems like time is moving at snails pace and then I realize that it's moving at the speed of light. We have been together now for 1 year, 6 months, and 12 days and it feels like just yesterday that we had our first date. This is the speed life will be from now on I guess. I want to make an effort to slow down and enjoy the great things in life.

We found a little apartment that we will move into once we're married and I couldn't be more ecstatic. He will move in about 3 weeks and get the place started. I'm so happy to know that in just a short couple of months we'll be living together and sharing life's joys and trials. It will be a growing but an amazing thing.

We're getting married :)

Life is changing and I could not be more excited about it! I am newly engaged as of two weeks ago and these past two weeks have been the most foreign, challenging, but so much fun weeks of my life. We are so lucky because of all the resources that we have. In the two weeks of planning this is what we've gotten taken care of.... Venue Date Catering  Cake Tables and chairs  We still have a ton to do but things are coming along! The big things have been taken care of. This weekend we are going out an looking at dresses and then the fallowing weekend we are taking our engagement photo's.  Planning a wedding is so exciting but the most amazing thing that will come if this is that I get to Marry my best friend and the love of my life. The big day will be September 22 and I am so excited for this day! 

Simple and Sweet

You

There is nothing I wouldn’t do

For you

When we’re apart an empty heart that longs

for you

do you know these feelings I feel

for you

I would go to the end of the earth

For you
