Well, here I am. In the 3rd month of my marriage, and let me tell ya---everything is PERFECT!

Getting married solved ALL my problems, we haven't argued one single bit, and I am just always sooo happy!!!

Yeeeeaaahhhhh, that's funny!

But really- marriage definitely is not what I expected it to be, but I wouldn't change anything about it! There have been some good surprises, and some not so good surprises. All I know is that you have to work at marriage. Not everything just falls into place, and you can't expect it to be all perfect.

On the other hand, you always have someone to hang out with. You have someone to keep you warm at night. You have someone to laugh at your jokes even when they're not funny and you know it! You always know that there is one person that always has your back. No matter what.

I'm thankful for my marriage, and I cannot wait to see what God has in store for Jordan and me!

Too much on my mind.

You know those times?

Those times where nothing seems to be going "your way".

When "everything bad" happens to you.

When you feel like if one more thing goes wrong, you'll surely just "break".

I'm there.

I know I am blessed.

I know others are much worse off than I am.

I know God will provide.

It's still just scary. I try to be strong. I try to hand it to God. I am still learning how to give everything to God. Why?

I don't know. God has provided for me--always. Why should now be any different?

A passage from Jesus Calling really stood out to me the other night. I don't have the book with me, but this is what I took from it.

Pray to God for what you need, but don't keep begging him to give it to you. This will only keep you in a negative state of mind. Instead, thank him for what He is already doing, and has been doing before we even knew we'd be faced with these trials. By thanking Him, you have changed into a positive mindset, so you will be thinking positively about it.

This is much easier said than done. I find myself constantly asking God for something to happen, when instead I should be giving thanks for what I know He will do!

His Will. Not Mine.

Romans 12:12

"Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and always be prayerful."

Such a simple concept. So hard to do.

Love this amazing woman!

These two make my heart so happy!

TRUE Friends!

One of my new favorites of Jordan and me! Christmas Eve!

Our amazing, beautiful, comfy new sectional! Gotta love Nebraska Furniture Mart, and wedding money!

Christmas was so much fun! We got to spend SO much time with our families, and it was so fun to be able to be together so much!

We also got an AMAZING deal on an XBOX 360 and Kinect bundle, so we now stay up way to late and get way to competitive :). But, it's all fun!!

I am looking forward to this weekend! Love New Years!! Happy holidays to you!!

I love being a wife.

I haven't seen Jordan in almost 7 hours. This is the longest we've been apart since the wedding day. And I miss him. Pathetic?

I loved our wedding. The whole day was so fun and relaxing, and seeing Jordan as I was walking down the aisle toward him was the best feeling I've ever had. I can't wait to see our pictures from our photographers in a few weeks! The day was so amazing and beautiful, but it's hard to remember the details!

Our honeymoon was more amazing than I could have ever imagined! It was so fun, relaxing, warm, and just perfect. We love Jamaica, and it's definitely an adjustment to be back home. Even though we love home! And we love being able to have a home together.

I love that he doesn't have to leave at night after watching a movie or relaxing together.

I love that I get to wake up to him every morning.

I love that I don't have to take care of my house alone anymore.

I always have my best friend to hang out with!

I love just sharing life with the man I love and will spend forever with.

I know this "honeymoon" stage won't last forever, but I am looking forward to all of the different stages our marriage will go through. I'm even looking forward to the bad times, because I know it will only bring us closer and make us stronger.

Thank you Jesus for marriage. It is truly the most amazing gift.

God is good.

Well, here's my last post as a non-married woman :). I get married tomorrow!

After rehearsal tonight I did the pretty typical things of a Bride, I think. Finished packing my bag for wedding day, wedding night, honeymoon, etc. Then I did something that's probably not-so-typical. I dusted my house.

I wanted to come home from the honeymoon to a clean house. So I picked up, Jordan helped put dishes away (yeah, without me asking. he's THAT good.), I sorted papers and books, and, I dusted. Call me crazy, but I feel so much better knowing that things are good and clean for my husband and I when we return from JAMAICA!

We got the reception hall decorated, and it was so fun to watch all of my visions come to life. Everything turned out so much better than I had ever even dreamed of! I am so excited. The sanctuary is gorgeous as well.

Rehearsal tonight went very smoothly, and Jordan and I are just so excited to be getting married! Our rehearsal dinner was beautiful and absolutely delicious! We are so blessed!!

I'm not saying everything has been perfect (ehh, the sound guy, videographer, and guest book attendant all found out last minute that they had to work the night of our wedding...one of our main candelabras for the sanctuary is broken...etc. ), and surprises have definitely come up. But I have the best family and friends who step right up and find solutions and get things done! I am so lucky to have so many great people looking out for me!

I am so excited to get married tomorrow. TOMORROW.

I guess I should probably try to get some sleep. HA. What a joke...

I get married next week.

Next. Week.

My whole daycare is covered in terrible stomach flu germs. I am praying I don't get it, and doing everything in my power to avoid it! Can't tell you how many times I've disinfected the room and washed my hands! This would not be an ideal time to be sick!

It is really strange to me that in 10 very short days I will be married. Then 2 days later I will head off to JAMAICA with my husband. OH man. Get excited!

Planning a wedding is definitely not how I pictured it. All I can say is that even though it really hasn't been too bad, I'm completely ready for it to be "over" with. I'd love to be able to go back to my semi-normal life of not having to constantly make decisions and think about 100 things at one time! Let's get this party started!

T.E.N. Days. :)
