First comes love, then comes marriage..

So, I had this whole blog written out, longest one I have ever written, took yesterday and this morning to do it, and it didn't save. It didn't save. It didn't save. It was all about the wedding, honeymoon, and what has happened since.

So I have come to a conclusion: Soon I will post pictures from the wedding.. and that will be fun, because I love talking about that wedding. best day of my life, second only to accepting Jesus as my Savior. Here's ONE picture. My favorite, probably. :)



But the rest of it? You should come down here and talk to me about it! I don't have a job yet, so from 6:30am to 5pm i sit here alone in this house doing a lot of not much. I would LOVE for a visit. I will give you the address and everything! (if I know you)

Anyways, I guess I could still talk some. I have been reading like a book a day since I have been here... I love to read, I sure do! However, I am running out of books! and as a newly married couple, the funds for books--- not there! So i am re-reading books now. and TV.. if you know me, you would never believe the TV shows I have been watching.. and actually liking! Hogan's Heroes, MASH, The Honeymooners, Gomer Pyle, all of those. And I really like them! Charles is trying, so hard, to get me to watch Dallas.. Start from the beginning he says. I just don't know... That is reaallly hard for me. Dallas? If you have any good reasons why I should watch and like Dallas, comment below. haha

I am missing my familly.. my mama and daddy, precious sisters, and my grandparents.. aunts and uncles. I just miss them. I know I am only an hour or so away, but it still hurts. Let me tell yall this story about my sweet sister, Mary.. She is 7, about to be 8 next month. She called me the week after the honeymoon from her trip to pickwick and she was telling me all about her trip and her farmer's tan. haha Well, before she was getting ready to hang up, she said, "I am coming home. Can't wait to see you when I get there." And my heart broke in half. I said, "I won't be there..." She said, "Where will you be?" I said, "I live with Charles now.." It was so so sad. So she says, "Oh okay. well I guess I will see you.. sometime.." See, after the wedding, I mean as SOON as Charles and I walked out of the ceremony, she was right behind us, bawling her eyes out about how she was going to miss me. It tore me up! I miss her. It breaks my heart that I am going to miss all the little things with her.. because she is constantly changing.

However, I also miss my middle sister, 14 yrs old, Courtney.. She and I don't ALWAYS get along, but we do have our good times. Actually we have a lot of good times! I miss her. She is growing up to be such a beautiful young woman, and she is good at pretty much everything she tries! And she doesn't give up when she tries. She is a varsity cheerleader in high school, and she loves it. absolutely loves it. and she plays fastpitch softball. She is very good at that too.. She did do basketball too, but not anymore. and it is not that she gave up! She worked her butt off and gave it her hardest! She just wants to do other things more. She can sing beautifully.. I love to hear her sing. And one thing that she is great at-- she can always make us laugh. When she tries and when she doesn't try. She has an infectious smile and a great laugh. I just love her to death. I hate that I haven't gotten to see her since the wedding where she was one of the most beautiful bridesmaids, but next weekend, for sure!

and my parents. I am having a very hard time being away from them so much. Don't you dare get me wrong, I wouldn't trade a second of my life that I have been living with Charles or any of the future, but I sure do miss my family. There were a lot of times when my parents made me so mad i cried, but a lot of times that we laughed until we cried. My mama is one of my very best friends. Now, a lot of our problems rooted from that I think.. because she was one of my best friends, I often times had problems with respecting her as my mother. I do miss her so much. and talking on the phone is just not the same. and I miss my daddy too. Gosh, he would do anything for me, i think. I say I need a job yesterday, and he calls everyone he knows in Starkville for me. He is a very good spiritual leader of my family. Every time I would get in trouble, or just not be acting right, he would give me this LONGGGGGGGGGGGG speech. Oh I hate those things. I mean, it's one of those where your mind starts drifting, so I am not fully there, and when he asks if I am paying attention, it's hard to say yes because I can't remember what he just said.. That's probably why I had the same few over and over. Because it took so long for me to get them into my head. I would've rather had a spanking! haha But, I appreciate everything he and my mother did to make me who I am today. I am a better woman for all of those speeches! :)

I miss all my other family too, SO much, but I know if I write about each set, this blog will be forever long. probably like the one I finished this morning and it didn't save. Ugh. But hey, maybe you'll get your own blog all about you one day soon.

I love you all, and I know that this blog turned sort of somber pretty quick, but I really enjoyed writing it. Hope you have a great day!
