Life As a Mrs.

Well, Michael and I have had our wedding and now I am Mrs Coleman.  So many people asked me while I was engaged if I thought things would be different after Michael and I got married.  I said I didn't think things would change; well, I was wrong.  I feel so connected to Michael.  He's my husband!  He's not my boyfriend, my significant other, this is the man who I am going to share my life with, give children to, grow old with, who I made a covenant with God to love and honor for all the days of my life.

The wedding was incredible.  It wasn't just that I felt pretty wearing my dress and getting dressed up, but all the love and emotions and fun times with EVERYONE who was there.  People cried, people got emotional, I just felt nothing but love and boy did it feel great.

We just got back from our honeymoon in the BEAUTIFUL Sedona!  I was SO happy being in Arizona and seeing all the beauty of Arizona.  It was the perfect honeymoon and I wouldn't have chosen any other place but Arizona.

I will continue to write blogs about my post adventures in the world of Gotham.  Right now, Michael and I are talking about what we would like to do for our 1 year anniversary (along with our friends and family who have August anniversaries as well, Monikka and Colt, Anna and Greg, and Georgiann and AC).

Much Respect for Wedding Planners

Seriously, I truly have a lot of respect for wedding planners.  Planning a wedding is A LOT of work, time, money, energy.  I have to be honest, the past 2 weeks I have felt a lot of stress with the wedding getting closer.  This is why I am VERY thankful for my wedding planner and all my friends and family who have been supporting me.  Michael, Greg, Anna and I met my day of wedding coordinator, Jessica, yesterday and she is FABULOUS!  She is detailed oriented and gave good suggestions on making the wedding day flow smoothly.

It has been a journey being an engaged woman.  I used to watch Four Weddings and think "I want to renew my vows and have another wedding."  Now, all I can say is "No thank you."  I wouldn't mind taking another honeymoon (cause I sure would love to go to Arizona again :-) ) but all the planning and little things, I just don't want to do that again.  Once is enough.

Considering the stress, it is a positive stress at least.  I've been so blessed to have wonderful friends and family support me during the past 2 weeks (shut, throughout the whole engagement).  

It's times like these I miss my cats.  I love my babies, Paris and Prince.  I would have loved to have them in the wedding (LOL they wouldn't like that at all), but they would definitely be there to help me with my DIY stuff and give me love and kisses (and lap sits and all that good stuff my babies do).

Before I know it I will be a married woman (even though I already feel married to Michael LOL).
