pics and lovin'

First thing I must mention: to all those who were concerned about my trusted TV remote that I put through an entire cycle in the washer this past week - Jared stuck batteries in it again this morning and no one got electrocuted. In fact, I flawlessley manuvered my way through the channels with ease. Reeeemarkable.
Of course the remarkable thing was that I couldn't get up the strength to watch that television because of the lack of a remote all week. That must be the epitome of lazy.
Eh, who cares?? Now I let my fingers do the walkin'!
Any of you went to BYU? An LDS school out in Utah, that's where Jared did his undergrad. Good school, and home of the infamous Honor Code. It's a code of conduct, a list of rules that students must adhere to when they attend school there. Anything from no alcohol, to rules about appearance that some found amusing. Here is a cartoon Jared recently unearthed about it:
Sad thing is, I can TOTALLY picture Jared wearing a suit of live monkeys. Seriously.
Okay, this is for those of you out there that are just silly enough to want to see wedding pictures. Like I said, all of the pics from our wedding day are severely barf-tastitic and I've come to the decision that I was just not a beautiful bride. They say everyone is, but I spent most of the time crying in terror, so my hair and make-up were the last things on my mind. The dress - now THAT was special, but me - not so attractive. Not so fun to realize, but the proof is in all the dang bad pictures I have.
I'll post more later - but we do have a few nice ones from our reception weeks later in Altanta - so I thought I'd post 2 of my favs:
This is us - his mom made that killer sign that we are SOOO putting up in our new house:
And this is me dancing with my dad - it's a good shot of my dress and my daddoo:)
That's just a taste - hopefully it's enough to deflect you from how sappy I'm about to be.
Last night Jared took me to see the Atlanta Symphony play an outdoor pops concert. It was waaayyy on the other side of Atlanta - over an hour drive, but he took me anyway because I wanted to see it so bad:)
I ran into an old friend there - so random! - from my Texas days. it was lovely and marvelous all in one.
From talking to her and hearing some of her news, it got me to thinking (here's where it gets all sappy).
When I got married, I could barely grasp what we were doing. My life is so completely different, I'm happier than I ever dreamed I could be, and I can't imagine living without him ever. Ever. I just look at him, trying so hard to be so wonderful - he does so much for me - and I fall more in love with him every day. I'm so lucky - so insanely lucky. He's the funniest person I know, and my favorite person in the world.
And here's the shocker that hit me - nothing is more important that him. I can't even imagine what I'd give up if I needed to, but I could. I didn't realize I'd hit that point, but I really would. A huge factor in me quitting my job was becuase he wanted me to be happy - because when I'm happy, he is, and he couldn't stand seeing me so upset anymore. He wanted me to go do what I loved, and now I get to:) I get to play violin and teach munchkins, one at a time. Nothing is more special or important to me that my sweetheart. And my marriage.
heck, I've already even COOKED. And I occasionally clean. WOW.
I guess that's all I needed to say. I am hopelessly and completely in love for eternity.
