Wedding Picture Preview!

So... it is 1:00 a.m. and I am unfortunately awake. I decided to go downstairs, so I would not wake Thomas up since he has so much going on with school already. I think this classifies me as an amazing wife!

It is so crazy to think that we have been in Wake Forest for a week. When we left Montgomery last Tuesday morning I did not think I could even make it to Auburn. I am incredibly close to my family, and the thought of being 9 hours away from my Mom seemed completely unbearable! I am very proud to say that I am doing pretty good. Thankfully last week was filled with job interviews and unpacking. Things are settling down this week, and it is really sinking in how far away I am from my loved ones!!

With all that said... I would not trade being married to Thomas for anything in the world. After being apart for the last year, it is the most amazing thing to wake up next to him everyday. I never thought I would look forward to planning out our menus for the week, but I do! Being a newlywed in a new city is both the scariest and most wonderful feeling in the world.

God has answered our prayers more than I can even explain! I had several job interviews last week, which in this current economy is nothing to take for granted. I have one very exciting prospect that I hope I will be able to blog about on Friday. Never let anyone tell you that God does not hear and listen to prayers. We have prayed and prayed and put our hearts out their, and God heard us and is answering our prayers. We serve a mighty mighty God!!

To get back to the title of the blog... I was having a sad day. Thomas had class and work, and I was feeling majorly lonely. I got a call from Ericka at Kim Box Photography to tell me that our preview slide show was ready fro viewing! I told Ericka that she completely made my day, and quickly checked my email! I am beyond pleased with the pictures! They are everything that I wanted, and I can't wait to see the rest of them in a couple of weeks. I hope y'all enjoy them!

Picture Perfect!

If there was only one phrase I could use to describe Thomas and my wedding it would be picture perfect! It was a complete fairy tale from start to finish. I have talked to tons of brides who have told me they would change this or that about there weddings, but not me! It was the perfect start to my happily ever after with Thomas!

Like everyday in August, it was HOT, but it did not rain until after we left the reception. This was a miracle because we took tons of pictures outside. I have about 2 more weeks until I get to see the professional pictures from Kim Box Photography. It is killing me not knowing what they are going to look like!

We were so blessed to have tons of people come to our wedding to celebrate with us. It was so humbling to look into the sanctuary, and see all of these who love and care about us there to support us on our wedding day. We wanted our wedding ceremony to be a worship service where Christ would be glorified! I think we accomplished that ten times over what I was expecting.

The reception was also perfect! Jill did an amazing job on the flowers, they were exactly what I wanted. I was able to get a sneak peak of them before the wedding and I was blown away! The food was delicious, although I was not able to eat very much of it. I am already looking forward to our first anniversary, so we can have our wedding cake again.

I would highly recommend Rosewood Little Dix Bay to anyone for a honeymoon spot!! It was absolutely amazing! The staff basically had to drag Thomas and me on the boat to take us to the airport. It was the most relaxing week of our lives! Our cottage was 30 feet from the ocean, the food was amazing, and the snorkeling was so much fun. I could talk about it all day long, but I will spare you all the details! I will be posting pictures from the honeymoon as soon as I locate my camera cord.

Our wedding and honeymoon were absolutely perfect! They were the perfect start to our married life! Thomas and I are having so much fun settling into our new home, and getting to know the area!

Newlywed!!

I LOVE being married!! It is the best thing in the whole world! I am dead tonight after a very long day, and I am about to watch Project Runway. I will write a longer post about our first 2 weeks of married life, and the honeymoon. Just wanted everyone to know I have not forgotten about the blog!

Love,

Elizabeth

I am a Mac User!

Thomas is officially the best fiance in the world. He surprised me tonight with a new IMac computer! I pride myself on being able to figure out any surprise in the world, but I had no idea that this was coming! He gave it to me for an early house-warming present. So sweet!!! It was great surprise at the end of a long day.

So let's rewind, and I will tell you about what happened earlier in the day. Thomas led the 20's Sunday School class today. We have been going to this class this summer and have really enjoyed it! It is a great group of young people who want to be plugged in and serving the Lord. Thomas spoke on a Christian Worldview and did an awesome job. It is the most amazing feeling to sit in a group of people and watch your MAN lead everyone. I am incredibly proud of the man he has become. We have been together for a million years, so it has been amazing to watch him grow and mature. He is truly a leader and I love him to death!!!

The fam grabbed a quick lunch at Moe's before Katherine had a be at the Banana for work this afternoon. I have not been there in forever, and I must say it was yummy!!!

This afternoon was my last time to work at Ann Taylor. It was definitely bittersweet. I have worked there for almost 2 years, and I have loved the relationships I have formed there. I got to work with the awesome Leigh, so that was definitely exciting. Surprising we were pretty busy even though it was raining on and off throughout the afternoon.

When I got home from the store at about 6:30 G-momma and G-daddy came over for pizza, and to look at all our wedding presents. We had the best time hanging out and spending time together. I can not even begin to tell you how much I am going to miss them when we move. Katherine and I never had a babysitter when we were growing up, because G-momma and G-daddy would always take care of us. They are amazing people who love their family more than anything. They celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary this March. I was so excited that Thomas and I would be married in the same year as their anniversary! Needless to say, I have been very blessed to grow up with such a caring and involved family!! I can't believe I almost forgot- they also completely surprised me with a strand of absolutely beautiful Mikimoto pearls!! Grandmomma has great taste (that is where I get mine from). I will be wearing them to the Bridesmaids' Luncheon and Rehearsal!!

It has been a big day and I am exhausted!

Cole and Brittany's wedding was absolutely beautiful. Jill did an amazing job at The Waters! It was a sweet ceremony and the couple looked soo happy. I must also add that the very handsome preacher did an awesome job! Once again making me beam!!

I can't believe Thomas and I are officially getting married this week! I did not think it was ever going to get here!! 6 days and counting!!! Can you believe it?!?!

Love,

Elizabeth
