Happy Six Months To Us!

Six Months ago today Jason Campbell and I became Man and Wife! Here are six things I hope to always remember about that special day!

1. The Weather

I had been praying for about a year that the July weather would be unseasonably cool for my July 11th wedding. July is so hot and humid here in Indiana. July was the perfect month timing wise, but wearing my big, dream dress, I thought I would be so uncomfortable and not something I wanted to worry about on my wedding day. As God would have it, there was a cool breeze. I remember thinking how incredibly awesome the breeze was!

2. My Mother

My mom and I are so close. She was such a huge help to me throughout everything, especially the wedding. Jason and I decided to take pictures before the wedding to save time. We wanted to have just a special moment of just us before taking pictures. I will never forget the way my mom came to the dressing room and said, "Your groom is ready..." She had to biggest smile for me with a few tears of joy.

3. My Friends

My friends had such a sweet girl get together the night of my wedding. We watched Father of the Bride and had Pina Colada smoothies. It will be a special memory with me forever. My dear friend even Kim spent the night with me. Sarah got up extra early to make sure my hair was perfect. All the bridesmaids were on time and extra helpful to me. Our guests were so much more than generous with gifts. We were two spoiled kids!

4. The Ceremony

We really wanted our wedding to be the perfect mix of worshipping the Lord and celebrating our relationship as husband and wife. I loved our vows and what we said to one another. One thing I love about Jason is how steady he always his. That day when I was incredibly nervous, he just stood there smiling and holding my hand. We had a slideshow of our lives growing up and being together. It is something we will always cherish!

5. My Groom

I remember when I walked to the sanctuary my brothers swung open the doors and I saw Jason's face light up. We hugged and I couldn't stop thinking how excited I was to be marring him that day. He is all I could ever want, but so much more than that. He is the most kind and caring person I have ever met. He would do anything for me whatever the cost. He is ready to make me laugh when I feel like crying. He is my steadiness in a world full of crashing waves.

6. Our Future

As we drove off from the church to our hotel, I was really looking forward to honeymooning in Mexico. I also was excited about our future. The common things like sleeping in the same house, cooking dinner together every night, waking up to each other, watching tv, reading, just spending time together as a married couple made my heart so grateful and thankful.

Here I am six months later and more in he love with that man than six months ago. Before we got married someone told us they hoped our wedding day is the day we loved each other the least. I hope and pray that will be true for us. I pray our love would strengthen with each passing day, joy, trial, and occasion.
