Has it been that long?!


Wow, it's been about ten months since I last posted here. I took time off to plan a wedding, get married, honeymoon, move into a new apartment with my new husband, unpack and put away and make the place cute, perform in two shows, travel, build a new website, model in a few photo shoots, start writing pieces for a one-woman show, and about a million other things that pulled me away from blog-land.

Our wedding in Hawaii was amazing and magical, and more than I could have hoped for. I never imaged I would have a "destination wedding," and looking back, I can't imagine doing anything else. We had a lovely, worshipful, romantic, simple ceremony on the beautiful grounds of our hotel, right next to the beach, with the sacred site of Black Rock in the distance. We had twelve family members and friends in attendance, and it was so nice to all be in Hawaii together to celebrate our union.



Before we chose to get married in Hawaii, I heard so many of my married friends who had bigger weddings say how little they remembered about their weddings. They said that half of the people who were at their wedding, they only knew were there because they saw them in pictures later, how they never got to eat any of the food they had paid for, and that the whole thing was one big blur. By doing what we did, we got to spend time with our guests in a relaxed setting, and I remember every single moment.



I would say it was the happiest day of my life, but each day with my new husband is better than the last. But it was definitely ONE of the happiest days of my life. And I feel so blessed because as amazing as my wedding day was, with my husband William, I know that the best is yet to come!
