It's the little things...

There are a few things that come with being married that I am loving. They aren't anything grand or really even that noteworthy, but to me they are because I, my friends, am a sentimental sap. Here is a short list of things that I want to remember... I don't think they will always be as significant to me as they are now, (although, knowing my cheesy nature, they may be) so I want to remember the little things. -Matt carrying me over the threshold the first time we walked into our apartment after we got the keys -We bought a little glass starfish in Hawaii, the first thing we bought together as a married couple -This morning Matt's alarm went off at 5 (he had to go to work super early this morning) it was going off for a while, and he was completely out of it. I tapped his arm and just said, "Babe..." and he sleepily rolled over, turned it off and got up. Just that act alone felt very... wifely and I loved it... (weird?) -Getting home from work and organizing our cluttered apartment and being there to open the door when Matt got home from work to kiss him hello. These aren't big things, these aren't notable things, but these are the things that make me feel like a wife. These are the things that I am LOVING about being a wife.

We are a We!!!

First post... kind of intimidating! Well, here I am, wife of Matt Halls. Wife, Ball and Chain, The Old Lady, The Misses, that's me folks! Our wedding was a-may-zing! I honestly think it was just the perfect day. I was a mess, I cried when they put "Halls" on my temple recommend, I cried when I was alone in the bride's room with my mom. I cried when I walked into the sealing room and saw all of our friends and family. I cried when I looked at my dad. I cried when we knelt across from each other. I cried when they announced us husband and wife... So by now it's about 9:30 am and I have already cried, a LOT. The rest of the day went as follows: Pictures in 100+ degree heat until about 12:00 Luncheon from 12:30-2:30 (so good, we had pizookies for crying out loud! [I didn't get one, but I heard good things]) Grand exit 2:30 Come back and get our bags out of my parent's van talk to a bunch of people and then a very not grand, yet real, exit. I will tell you this, not having a reception was WONDERFUL! It was so nice to be done with the day by 3:00. My sister posted a picture on instagram of me walking into the temple as Miss Sanders and walking out as Mrs. Halls two hours later. It's so crazy to me that in that short amount of time I started what will likely be the most important phase of my life. In that short amount of time We became a We. I don't want to make this post super long, but I just have to say how humbled I feel to have received the love and support that we have received. I am amazed at how many people are so genuinely excited and happy for us. I realize on a much more real level how many people have been hoping, praying, PLEADING for this for us. I'll speak for both of us when I say how loved we felt. I'll go more into detail on the day and the honeymoon (NOT too many details, keepin it PG), like how Matt got food poisoning on our wedding night (we went to Z Tejas, it was not from the luncheon) So, here's to a life full new experiences, embarrassing moments, happy times and covered wagons. Here is a link to a video my friend Carly Jo Porter made for us. You guys, she is amazing, if you need a videographer she captured our day perfectly.
