morning dances in bed, 2 hour naps, a cherry limeade, and the cutest little baby boy to call mine! its so nice to be home! we have been traveling {for pleasure and for work} since the middle of february. some of those travels meant time apart from dr. daddy and my little mister...and some meant all 3 of us were in separate states! i give so many kudos to you working mommies out there...what strength, commitment and true master jugglers you must be! bless you! so many thanks to my dear momma for keeping the little mister while i was traveling...and to my sweet mil for traveling to PA to help out as well! we are blessed! we are now enjoying being home and getting back into a routine. which hopefully means as soon as my to-list begins to dwindle i'll be back to blogging!!! missed you friends!
one of my favorite things as a mother is something so unexpected...its when nothing particularly special is going on and it hits me so clearly and completely without warning...chills come over me...he's mine, he's finally here, he knows i'm his, and one day he'll call me mommy. its as if my mind is one step closer each time in soaking in and fathoming the enormity of this blessing! i've waited a very long time to know what being mommy would be like and who that little person would be to create that job in me...and he's here, he's finally here. and he's more than i imagined. much more!
married on saturday, february 27th, 2010! way off the beaten path of tyler, texas at a little plantation on the steps of a tiny chapel. it was sun shine skies, gorgeous grounds, and a pleasant, but at times chilling breeze. it was perfect!
very last detail of the bride was "so krystal"! from the vintage brooch on her dress, the handmade silk ruffled jacket she and mom designed to keep those shoulders warm, the peacock blue shoes adorned with her own touch...vintage shoe clips, to the feather plumed headpiece she made herself, and the chic veil that swept her face {also created by her}, to the vintage earrings i knew she had to have...when i spotted them in my jewelry box...all the way to the gorgeous rings on her fingers!!!
any tears were shed as the bride walked down the aisle. there is something so raw and sheerly {yep! made that word up...i think!} sweet about a groom crying at the sight of his bride and the thought of her becoming his wife. the ceremony was small {just as they wanted it}, intimate, and just the right size...it was so perfect, heartfelt, and personal.
or now they are husband and wife! six years waiting...mr. and mrs.! marriage looks good on these two! so many congratulations krystal and grant! your day was gorgeous! i hope all the memories of today flood your hearts on the rough days and make you smile when you are grey...because it was perfect...and so very "you"!! we were so excited to be a part of your special day and are so anxious to watch you grow even more together! we love you!
