a wedding reception today in our favor. tux, wedding dress.... there's a possibility that it might have been a little weird walking into the basement in the church all dressed up like we were at a wedding....but that's just a small possibility. it was a blast though, and soon after we walked in the weirdness wore off. well, not really..........but it was fun. what a blessing our family and friends are.

i'd like to make you aware that the only 4 nice days in a little over 3 weeks have been the day before our wedding and our wedding day; and the day before our 2nd reception and our 2nd reception. other than those days it's been raining. apparently there has been an amazing high rate of depression in the north country in the past month- doctors said the rate of prescriptions they've wrote out for medication such as prosac is shocking. it's amazing what clouds and rain will do to a body. what a blessing that we know the Lord.

a t-shirt of a really cool friend of mine says, "your retarded". the funniest part about the t-shirt however, is that another friend didn't get what was wrong with it. we laughed at him pretty hard. (identitys of the partys involved have been concealed for privacy reasons) Nate.

today was a hard day. the afternoon at work didn't go well at all, and alot happened in one afternoon that i wouldn't wish to take even in a full week. i was looking over old things just now and came across this quote that i posted a while ago:

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia." --Charles Schultz

a smile came to my face and i realized that life wasn't so bad after all... i just need to remember the important things sometimes. and alot of what was happening wasn't the important stuff; it was the mish-mosh that happens every day. it's just that it seemed to happen all at once... then my wife brought me back to reality.

i thank God everyday for the people in my life that are there as pillars- as constants in my life that i can count on when i need a wake up call- or even just support.

and i'll be there for you tomorrow.

my mind wanders; my heart pounds. i think back to 6 days ago when my whole life changed. as she walked into the room, my eyes welled up with tears and my vision blurred. i knew my life was going to change... and i was excited.

6 days later, my eyes still well up with tears, my excitement still strong. married life is different- alot of changes- but everything that i expected and more. i married a strong woman of God, the woman i love. the house a mess from moving, wedding gifts strewn abroad, everything that we need missing (not even knowing where to start to look!);


"i see her from across the room- she turns her head to look at me. i get that same boyish heart flutter every time-- she flips her hair around and smiles back. without any words i know what she's thinking, and she me. i never want to lose this- the heart flutter, the sheepish grin. once the 'newlywed syndrom' wears off, i still want the excitement that it brings."

you're the best

a new life. a new family. a new home. a lapful of new responsibilities. a new set of challenges.

the same Lord. the same family. the same group of constant friends. the same dreams.

when things change, i need some constants. change is good, but constants help keep me grounded.

by the way- my new nephew-
