4 1/2 years late

Tim and I have been married for 4 1/2 years.  4 1/2 years ago we hired an amazing photographer to capture our special day forever.  We got the most amazing wedding album of our day and ordered a few prints to hang in our home and we were happy and in love.  There was one thing that I have always regretted...we didn't have the money to purchase the digital cd of our images with the copyright release. 

It was just too expensive at the time...

So, 4 1/2 years later I called up my amazing photographer and inquired as to how much it would be now, and to my surprise the price had decreased significantly!  I guess it was good to be patient all these years!

So, here are a few of my favorites from that day 4 1/2 years ago.  A day that changed my life forever, but for the best! 

June 20, 2009

For those of you who know Tim and I, you know we met at UC where Tim was a percussionist and I was the field commander/Flute player.  I spent hours of our dating relationship sitting in a practice room watching him practice marimba.

 

This pretty much sums up my brother and I.

My beautiful parents.

I am so lucky to have in-laws that have accepted me into the family and treat me as their own.

I can say that each of these girls are still my best and closets friends.  God has surrounded us with wonderful people to call "Family" outside of our actual family.  I count my blessings every time I pick up the phone to chat with any of these girls.

Our beautiful flower girl.  She was seriously adorable!  There is one picture where she is giving her mom a "thumbs up" because she was doing what she was suppose to be doing.  I love it!

How can you not adore this!  It captures all of our closets friends.

She was an angel!

This is my mother-in-law.  I'm not sure what was happening when this picture was taken, but I love her face.  That is what pure joy looks like!  I'm just glad she has the look of joy and not the look of, "OMG!  I can't believe he's marrying that creep!"  :)  Like I said, I am one lucky girl!

One month anniversary

Tim and I have been homeowners for a whole month!  We made our first mortgage payment this week, YIKES!  Now that it's raining again we've had to mow our yard.  I've had to call the handyman to repair the trim (which he STILL hasn't done, he's got until Tuesday or else).  We really are homeowners! 

If you'd asked me 6 months ago if I thought we'd be homeowners I would have said something like this.  I dream about being a homeowner, but no, we won't be able to buy anytime soon.  I remember having serious conversations about renting a house that some friends of ours were trying to sell.  I remember being devastated when we passed on that opportunity because I didn't think we'd find another one like it.  I felt so frustrated, and angry that God was telling us NO! 

Now, I laugh.  God told us NO for a very firm reason.  Shun was our reason!  We love our house!  Sure, we have some work to do.  There are little things here and there.  But it's our home!  It already has so many of our touches.  It already has great memories.  There are still so many memories to be made here. 

When I think about Tim and I it makes me happy.  We've come along way in seven years.  Seriously, seven years!  We were so young and silly when we fell madly in love.  We talked about getting married almost instantly.  Now look at us.  We have grown so much!  We are trusting God so much more now than we did then.  I'm proud of who we are becoming.  I can't wait to see where we go. 

Ok, I'm done!  Mushy, sentimental stuff over!
