four years ago today...

....i woke up late after only three hours of sleep.
....i cried because i didn't have time to do my hair.
....i put shoes on that i wished were high heels.
....i waited patiently for late guests to arrive.
....i was humiliated at a luncheon i didn't ever want to have.
....i endured the 104 degree weather.
....i missed dinner.
....i got cake shoved into my nose (something i have always hated!..and always will)
....i danced our first dance while the song skipped it's way through.

and yet,
it was BY FAR the greatest day of my life!

there were some amazing moments as well, of course. it's just funny to think that in the end it isn't about the cake showing up on time, or the fact that there was no time to curl my hair. it's about the fact that i married my best friend and that we will not only be together forever on this earth, but forever in the next life as well! i love when our anniversary rolls around and i can be reminded of that glorious day and look forward to the wonderful future ahead! {including all the bumps along the way}

Hey Marci, I know this is totally random but I came accross your blog through Brad Clarks blog...I don't know if you remember me but I went on Heritage Tours with your Mom and Dad and Brian almost ten years ago! Kim, Heather and I stayed at your house one time and took a bunch of silly pictures. Anyway I thought I would say hi!Actually Kim and I were just talking about your family a few weeks back and we would love to get in touch with your mom and dad! (especially before they go on their mission, which is awesome by the way!) My email is chereseypoo@hotmail.com I would love to hear from you and stay in touch! THANKS!!! :)

Four years? Holy crap you're old. Most beautiful couple ever. Love you guys. Have I ever apologized for missing your wedding? Probably not because I now realize how stupid it was. Embarrassing for me and boy did I miss out.
