Our Special Day!

So I have been MIA in the blogging world for several weeks! June was just crazy. June 26th was truly the best day of my life. I married the kindest person that I know who just happens to be my best friend! The day was absolutely wonderful and filled with memories that will not be forgotten. We really do have amazing family and friends who we love so much. Our wedding party was terrific and we enjoyed sharing such a special weekend with them. Of course our families are such a blessing and it was great to have everyone together for such an awesome weekend!

Here are my sweet friends who were amazing bridesmaids! I am so thankful for each of them. They are each so close to my heart in their own special way! Don't they look beautiful?

After the wedding I had Luke stop my McDonalds to get a coke! I was such a happy girl. I could just feel stress melting away!

Sunday night I had to say goodbye to the best friends that a girl could ask for! Jessica, Shanna and Sarah Beth met Luke and I at the Varsity and we just had the best time!

Saying goodbye to Jessica and Shanna was extremely difficult! We were having such a great time then WHAM there it was... the moment I was not looking forward to! I fell apart right there in the middle of the Varsity. Not my most graceful moment but saying goodbye to these two came too soon. It is not often that you find friends in 3's, I mean think about it "three is a crowd"... well not with us. We have always had the best time together. The 3 of us have share so many memories including being bridesmaids in each others weddings! They are such a huge part of my life and I can't wait to see where life takes the 3 of us! I love you girls!

Next came the good bye to Cameron and Sarah Beth. Not fun. We love those two so much and have such fun when the four of us are together. It is hard for us to imagine not being able to see them often. SB and I cried, of course. The boys did not, however, I know they were very sad to have to say goodbye.

Monday morning before Luke and I started our road trip we went by my parents house to have breakfast and say good bye! We had a lot of fun talking about the festivities of Saturday and looking at pictures from the big day. Then... it was time to say good bye. The hardest thing I have ever had to do. No doubt. I fell apart. We all cried. As we backed out of the drive way I just waved and cried and realized that this chapter of my life is really ending! I am thrilled to start this journey, but it is new and scary and unknown. I will miss my family and it broke my heart to watch my dad wave from the drive way. I know that he wants happiness for us and he has done a great job at being supportive. But I also know this was so hard for him. That breaks my heart. As I reflect, there are so many things I will miss about my family and all the fun that we have. I know that I will most likely miss out on a lot of big things in Haley's life as she gets ready to graduate and that is hard for me to swallow. My mom and I have a special relationship that has become a friendship and I will miss those things. But am looking forward to our future and our family. So many emotions rolled into such a great time in our lives.

We are in Amarillo, Texas visiting friends and I have much to update on our road trip so far. I plan on doing that tonight, so be on the lookout!!
