fell off the wagon already

I knew it was only time 'til I fell off the "take a photo a day" wagon!  I fell off on Sunday.  I actually did take pictures Friday and Saturday and just ran out of steam by Sunday.  Insert sad face here.  On top of that, the pics I took during those days were eeeeuuuwww!  Not sharing them.

I will share this though.  This is a picture of the card that I made our friends who got married this weekend.  It was nice to attend their wedding ceremony.  It brought back memories of when Brian and I got married.

We both just got off work, met each other at our apartment on D Street in old town Tacoma for a short drive to the Pierce County Courthouse.  We didn't tell anyone we were getting married, so we didn't invite anyone.  We planned on having a ceremony later on down the road.  I remember, I wore my green floral dress with huge shoulder pads.  This dress was one of my nicer dresses.  Brian wore his button down green JC Penney shirt and khaki pants.  I remember we were just staring at each other and smiling as we waited for the officiant to call us.  Brian recalls that we didn't wait there long.  I didn't.  It seemed like we waited for a long time.  We got started, brought in some office workers in the back as we didn't come prepared with our own witnesses--so sad!  I remember starting into Brian's eyes as I read my vows to HIM.  These were not just words.   They're promises I'm making to him for the rest of our lives, regardless where they were said--in a small courtroom or in a huge church in front of hundreds of people. These words were between him, me, and our God and they're not to be broken--ever!

Nineteen years later, I have kept my promises to him.  I love that guy more than ever!  We've grown leaps and bounds individually and as a couple and we continue to grow.  Our life together has been full, blessed to the utmost, and always exciting.  I look forward to many more years with my man to continue to serve him and alongside him towards our goals in life!

Big congratulations to our friends that got married this weekend.  I wish for the both of them, a life together that is FULL!
