I'm Married!!!

Can you believe that the last time I posted was about three weeks before my wedding? I'm really pathetic. :) Actually, it got so busy with wedding details that I just didn't feel like blogging. Oops!

Friday, March 2, 2007, Walter and I were married at Naperville Presbyterian Church in Naperville, IL. It was an amazing ceremony -- absolutely perfect! Better than I imagined! We had a worship band play some songs and they were fantastic! I can't wait to get the wedding ceremony DVD so I can watch it all over again. All of my vendors were fantastic and everything went without a hitch.

We went to Kauai for our honeymoon and returned this past Monday. We had so much fun and it was gorgeous!! We took almost 1000 pictures!

It is nice to be home and be married in our normal lives. I love going to bed next to him and waking up next to him in the morning. I love that I don't have to say goodbye at night. I love that I can easily share my heart with my best friend at different times. Walter is an amazing man and I am so thankful and blessed to be married to him. :)

Thanks so much for all of your love, support, and encouragement in our relationship. You are all blessings to us. Thanks to everyone who participated in the wedding ceremony and celebrated with us. We are so thankful to you.

God is so good and we are so blessed...

Thanks again for extending the honor to allow me to play in your wedding. I had a blast, and it was great to see two of my friends married.

Forgiven and Free

I've come to the revelation that I don't love people (other than my family, which I love fiercely). I'm not trying to be funny and I'm not being mean. I care for people and I genuinely show love and care, but deep down in my sinful, deprived soul, I don't truly love people. Let me explain... I've been hurt a lot by friendships. Numerous times I have let my guard down and tried to be real, just to have those people walk away from me for no reason. So I've put up walls and guarded my heart. I'll share only what is safe, but I struggle to be vulnerable and real. Years ago I went to counseling to help me with being more vulnerable (and my perfectionist nature). I grew a lot and after about a year, I connected with my future husband and allowed my walls to come down. I praise the Lord for him and allowing me to be real. My husband is a gift from God, but I still struggle with my female friendships. Guy friendships always seem to be easier to me. Maybe it

I'M ENGAGED!!!

Saturday night, on top of the John Hancock building in downtown Chicago, Walter asked me to marry him! I said, "Of course I will." The ring is absolutely gorgeous!! It's exactly what I wanted. (We didn't go ring shopping, but I gave him hints of what I wanted). It's a platinum solitare princess (square) cut one carat diamond. I'll take a picture of it and try to post it for you. It looks like our wedding date is Friday, March 2. I have to double check on some things, but most likely, that is the date. Here's the story: Walter was really low key about everything. We had already planned to go to Chicago that day to the Lincoln Park Zoo. I had never been there and we have a list of things we want to do. So, he picked me up at 11:30am on Saturday. He surprised me with a dozen+ (actually 14) red roses. We headed to Chicago and the zoo. Afterwards, we went to Frontera Grill where I have really wanted to go. It's incredibly difficult to get in, so he had call

We Have a Date!

The wedding date is set: Friday, March 2. I've already booked our church, our pastor, and the reception hall. Whew. I've been busy. Luckily, I already knew where I wanted the reception to be held and since I'm doing a Friday evening, it was easier to book the reception hall. My mom, Kara (my sister and matron-of-honor), and I are looking at dresses this Saturday. How fun! I already found one that I REALLY like online at David's Bridal. So, we are heading there first on Saturday. Jess bought me a wedding planning book -- wow! I had no idea that there were so many things to do! Plus, most people start almost a year in advance and I'm doing it in six months. Oh well. The work is well worth the short wait. So, how am I doing with posting so far? Look, Amanda, two blogs in one week! You must be proud of me. Still no pictures as Walter has been out of town and I don't have a camera. Hopefully, I will have some for you soon.
