(my wedding dress and wedding shoes. it was muddy that day, what can I say?)
I feel as though I have emerged from the depths of something. I am new, whole, re-energized, reinvigorated, re-inspired, re–everything. Our wedding was magical; I had no idea it could be as beautiful as it was…everyone brought their most buoyant spirits and it was a day of rejoicing in love and friendship. The honeymoon was perfect. And somewhere in there, I grew another year older.
I am full of love; I have SO much to share with you, and will do so—in time.
For now, I’ll give you this:
As I said…so full of love.
