Tuesday will mark a full month being married..REALLY!?! Where did time go? It seems like just yesterday when i walked in my apartment to see my roommates (and consequently interrupted their movie) to squeal that i was engaged!! And now, ive been MARRIED a month!? wow. Everyone told me that the wedding day would fly by, but sheesh it really FLEW by. My wedding day was everything and more i could have wanted and marriage is even better! Our honeymoon in St. Thomas was beautiful but we were ready to get back to our home! Here are some of our favorite pictures.
to update you:
Daniel got the Christmas bug as soon as we got home and bought a christmas tree (that he put 2500 lights on). One of the major bonus' to marrying Daniel is his true Christmas talent. Im not kidding here people. You should see our Christmas tree, it's beautiful! Also the neighbors are loving the massive tree Daniel did outside...and ill be honest, it looks great! Plus, i love Christmas so it's really easy to get into the spirit with Daniel.
Secondly, Daniel came home the other night and said do you want your Christmas gift now or later. You should know at this point that both Daniel and i cannot keep a surprise. Of course at first i told him i wanted to wait. He had that face. you know that face that his smile is about to explode and the surprise is so good i'll def want it now. yea, THAT face. So i did what any girl would. I said, " OH FINE ILL HAVE IT NOW!" Needless to say, Daniel said he went to visit our PUPPY!!! We got to pick Junie B. Ram Pendergrass up on Thanksgiving day! Here she is:
(i know, have you ever seen anything that cute?! And Junie is precious too!)
Junie B. is quite possibly the cutest dog ever. She is already spoiled and thinks she owns the house. As frustrated as she makes us some days, there is nothing better to coming home to a little puppy who attacks you with kisses and goes crazy just because you walked in the door. I love her and she is Def. one of the best gifts i have ever gotten!
For the first time in our marriage Daniel is out of town with work. He is in Maine. I am in Richmond. lame. It's funny how you can sleep in a big bed your whole life and feel like it is perfect. Get married and sleep just one night alone and suddenly you are in a bed far to large for you. I felt like Daniel's side was eternally long. Here is a picture i drew so you could understand what i mean. of course, this is the most accurate i could be using paint.
Yes, in case you were wondering Junie does sleep in the bed...but she buries herself down under all the sheets right near our legs. So really, she is in the picture, but you cant see her under the covers. As i lay down in bed, Junie B. at my knees, the left side of the bed eternally long clearly missing someone, This song came to mind.
(Nichole Nordeman: You are Good.)
The Good Lord, has blessed me so well. This is such a wonderful season of my life, and even with my guy gone, i cant help but feel immeasurably blessed. Oh, how he has given us so much more than we deserve...
May this season be just that for you too. A season of gratitude.
Leslie
