Greetings from the Mrs.

Hey everyone,
We're back.....well, we've actually been back for quite awhile, but I just haven't gotten around to blogging yet. Let me catch you up.

The Wedding
Everything with the wedding was absolutely perfect! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. And I am so grateful for all of my friends and family who worked so hard to make it special for us. I love the homemade touches our wedding had. From the hairpieces my friend (and bridesmaid) Amanda helped me make, to the centerpieces my mom and I worked on, to the cake my friend (and bridesmaid) Ali made, to the homemade dishes my aunts brought.....everything was so special! Adam and I agree it was the best day of our lives so far. We've been looking through our 2,000+ wedding pictures and just reliving the day and how amazing everything was. And we're so thankful that many of you were there to celebrate with us....And we're looking forward to seeing those of you who weren't at our receptions in a couple weeks.

The Honeymoon
We went on a cruise to the Bahamas, and it was incredible! We would highly recommend cruising to anyone. I was really nervous about being on a cruise ship. I had always said before that I would never go on a cruise because I was afraid of being trapped on a boat in the middle of the ocean.....but it's not like that at all. There is so much to do and the ship is huge. There's no way you could feel trapped. One of my favorite parts about the cruise was the food (naturally). Our dinner meals were nothing less than excellent. And our waiter made it so much fun by chatting with us and showing us magic tricks...and bringing us out more food than we ordered. We went to shows, special events, parties.....there's no way a person could ever get bored.

And we got to see Nassau in the Bahamas. We took a tour of the city in a rickety 15 passenger van with a lady named Ms. Joan. We got to see the Atlantis Hotel (where the most expensive room they have is The Michael Jackson suite, which rents for $25,000 per night with a 4-night minimum!). It was beautiful. And we tried conch fritters, which just tasted like deep fried yumminess.

We also went to a private island owned by Royal Caribbean called Coco Cay. There we did some snorkeling. That was one of my favorite activities on the honeymoon. I scraped up both of my knees on a giant rock and Adam got a sea urchin in his finger, but we still had a blast. We got to see remnants of a shipwreck and a plane wreck. And so many brightly colored fish and coral. It was beautiful.

So the wedding was perfect and the honeymoon was perfect. And I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life. Life is very sweet right now.

And I would like to leave you with a link to this video.....it's a picture of what I hope my marriage looks like in many, many years. And it will make you cry. Even if you're a dude.
