Honeymoon....coming to an end

Jeremiah and I have had a great time in Florida for the past week. The weather wasn't always great, but it has been warm and so fun being able to hang out and BE married! It is very nice. Right now we are at the airport in Fort Lauderdale. We are very early. Airports can be a drag...but we discovered free WIRELESS so that is pretty sweet for me, and Jeremiah has his good ole N.T. Wright book, so he's content. We look forward to getting back to Calgary and getting the house set up. I have been watching lots of HGTV so I have been getting ideas and am itching to decorate and renovate...!!!!! We have a way smaller budget than the HGTV people use but maybe we can swing a few cool updates..... Anyway I don't know much of what to say, but wanted to say hi, and that it'll be good to be seeing you all soon....through internet or the Calgary connection. Here are a couple pictures...

We Did It!!! We Got Married!

On June 16, 2007 at 1pm in the afternoon, Jeremiah and I actually got married! It was such an exciting time! The ceremony, was beautiful ( I am somewhat biased I suppose) but we received many pleaseant compliments from our guests! Huge thanks goes out to people involved in the wedding. Amanda Wig, Kara (my awesome sis) and Jesse (my sweet bro) played so nicely as I came down the aisle. My uncle Brian Rude played "My Father's World" a beautiful piano arrangement by Chris Rice, Lance Odegard sang so awesomely during communion. We were so blessed to have him with us. Kristel and Caleb sung together beautifully as well. We had so many friends and family come together and work together to make the weekend just perfect. I won't name them all here, but THANK you friends and family!!!!! We love you so much.

We are now settling into our new Calgary (rented) home. Jeremiah has his last day of work tomorrow before we take off for a sweet week long Floida Va-cay! IT'll be nice to relax and enjoy each other. You kind of go in wedding withdrawal though...there is so much that goes into planning the day, and then it is gone in a flash. IT was beautiful though and we have great pics (Thanks Avey) and video (thanks messiah team and Laverne) to remember it! It was a blessing to have so many people we love dearly all together. True blessing!

Well I am now a wife...and Jeremiah a husband! Today we took on fairly traditional roles, Jeremiah worked a hard long day (physically) and I stayed in the home, cleaning house, organizing and even cooking supper for the guys! Wow. Life will get busy and I won't always have time to be home all day, but for now it is fun. Jeremiah is my best friend and I couldn't ask for a better roomate and life partner! So here's to our life together! Jeremiah is sleeping soundly as I write...I will go to bed soon too! I just wanted to say a quick hello, and update our blog as it has been awhile. We love you friends and fam! Thank you for being you.
