Introducing Mr and Mrs Homer

We got married last weekend. I’m still emotional over how blessed we are to have the family and friends that we do in our lives. I wish I could tell them how very much they mean to me, how their help (Sister Jaime keeping me calm in the morning, Marissa, Jaime and Shayla not letting me hyperventilate while getting ready) meant so much… but the words I could say to express the love in my heart… it doesn’t work, it’s not even close, it doesn’t exist. 

And to marry into such an amazing family… You know it’s awesome when every single person no matter their age, came up and talked about how wonderful both families are, how funny, comfortable, loving each was. How we’ve been asked by friends that this be an annual trip that we all make together to reconnect. It’s not just us they want to see! But our families too! I call that a confirmation of divine intervention. Gods plan and timing for our lives is incredible. When you let go and let him be the author of your life, it doesn’t get any more perfect than that. I now have a really big family to prove it!

What I Learned From the Dog

I think every married couple should have a dog.  Most people think that its great for teaching you to be a parent.  You know... the first step or trial run. 

Not me.  I think you should have a dog to teach you how to love each other. Unconditionally.  Without hesitation.  My pup is a constant reminder of how I should treat my spouse.  I watch her run to the door to greet him when he comes home from work. Oh how she has MISSED him! Wanting nothing more then to crawl in his lap and give him kisses.  She seems to say "You're home! I've missed you!  I'll kiss away anything bad that happened today and make you forget it all!"  No matter how tired or grumpy you are, even if you've scolded her, she keeps coming back to love you.  She doesn't take bad days personally.  Her love is the same; consistant, forgiving, forever.
