wedding pictures!

The wedding pictures instantly transport me to the day that culminated the most wonderful fairytale ever told in which I played Cinderella. A week of rain and yet the clouds parted for our special day; and I couldn’t help believing that God was shining His blessings down upon us like the sun lit up the eyes of each of our guests. It was a day I will never forget.

I can still remember the details; the way the sand dollars chimed as they swung in the wind, the smile on Jeff’s face, how I forgot to spit out my gum; a certain woman in a red bikiniand the way I felt every single word I said while repeating the vows. Together, we made a covenant to one another before the Almighty. A covenant that will not be broken. 

I described the wedding to my father-in-law as perfect

But, as reality hits, the expensive clothing comes off, the beach fades away and we are left with real life. And that’s when love (commitment) really starts. However, I get to fall asleep every night next to the greatest man of all. It won’t always be easy, but he continually puts a smile on my face and simply put – I will love him; today and for the rest of my life

Here’s our love story, in case you missed it… (courtesy of Marlon Photography)

If you made it this far – thanks for checking out our wedding pictures! It’s been a wild ride, but God has been faithful and I can’t wait to see what He does next 🙂

I’m just along for the ride.

anglers!

Only my future father-in-law could actually succeed in getting me out of bed at 5:30 am to go fishing! Though I was quite tired for the rest of the day we had such a great time fishing off of the Pier. The ocean and the cotton-candy colored sky is breathtaking in the early hours of morning. I love being in the ocean or the mountains, because it reminds me how BIG God is!

So I have officially become an “angler”, and if you don’t know what that is, you don’t fish! I caught the little fish we used for bait and a pretty flat one called a “Lookdown”. I may not be a morning person, but it’s wonderful being up that early when most of the world is still asleep. It’s as though you’ve been let in on a secret no one else knows. Each morning is a new day with new opportunities. The old has gone and the new has come.

“The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.” Lamentations 3:22,23
