a wee lil explanation is in order :)

as you know, Joey has been sworn in and joined the Navy Reserves (an important piece of the puzzle). we knew, in our heart of hearts, that marriage was in our future. we also knew we wanted to give ourselves the opportunity, and maybe even the upper hand, to ensure we would be able to provide for our family (and start expanding our family!) when he returns home. on June 26th, 2009 we dedicated our lives to each other and became husband & wife <3.
Mr. & Mrs.
it was a very private, very special day for us. but don't fret! we sincerely don't want to miss sharing this very dear commitment with our family and friends, to celebrate all the love and bliss that comes with taking vows. there will be a ceremony, there will be a reception, there will be cake!! but more importantly there will be the joining of our very dear loved ones, our friends and family :)
a glimpse of what comes next...
next week: joey and i start our 7 week class, "Becoming One." even though things happened a tad backwards, we are dedicated to making sure we have all the tools to make it to forever <3.
three months: joey ships out to the Great Lakes. we're not entirely sure how long he'll be away, but all sources point to 6 months to a year. and we KNOW it's going to bring about great change, we've been preparing our hearts, preparing our minds, preparing our family, and praying for God to lead us forward.
this year: while my sweet pea is away, i will be finishing up school and finishing up ceremony/reception plans. so far, we're very much enjoying the wedding planning; venues and flowers and food, oh my! we don't have a date set, per say. BUT we're crossing our fingers he'll be home by June, 26th 2011, our two year anniversary, the date we're hoping to set. invitations will be mailed out early next year, so keep those eyes peeled ;)
so there you have it, we're married!! 9 months of bliss and love and growing, 9 months as husband and wife, 9 months as a step-mommy (oh how my heart beats for our little man).
we are so lucky to have so much support and love in our lives, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts <3.
