Welcome Back to Reality...

We are back from our honeymoon and enjoying every minute of our new lives as newlyweds! Mike made the comment yesterday, asking if it was fun to come home and play house with my new husband. It's TONS of fun, but the best part is that we're not "playing" house...this is our new fun (and real) life together :) It hasn't completely sunk in yet that I am a married woman (already an old married one, according to a sweet lady at work haha) and that I live with a boy in a cute house that we can now call "ours."  But we're 12 days in, and I'm loving married life :)

The wedding was perfect. Not because every detail fell into place (because that certainly didn't happen), but because it was an incredible day filled with family and friends, love and encouragement. Everyone had cautioned that the time would fly by, and they were right; but I do believe the Lord allowed us both the ability to soak in and enjoy every moment that we could. I probably missed a ton, and cannot WAIT to relive the day through photos, but I am so blessed and thankful for everyone and everything. I promise to post more pictures later, but here is just a sneak peak of the day...

Some photos just taken by sweet friends and confiscated courtesy of good ol' facebook :)

Taking a quick breather before I walk down the aisle!

First Dance at Sunset...yeah, it was pretty awesome. 

Cutting the cake...

A couple of "sneak peak" photos from our lovely photographer...I am SO excited to see all of the photos she captured of our day!

So sweet...

Jillian (our photographer) called me "fierce"  hehe :)

We also had an AMAZING honeymoon. It was the exact right combination of rest and fun, and we enjoyed traveling together. More pictures of our beautiful beach vacay will come soon...somehow we managed to take pictures from 4 different cameras haha so we'll need some time to organize those ;)

I'll need some time to adjust to my new work schedule and routine as a wife, but will be sure to document as much as possible in future posts. As rough as my new work hours are, the reality of life with Mike so far is definitely a blessing :)
