Getting Married

For many of us, getting married is the one event we look forward to most.  It's the moment we launch our lives alongside another.  For Krista and I, July 19th is that moment. We are excited and ready.  

Krista and I laugh often how frustrating it was to be single through most of college.  While many of our friends in college found the person they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with, both of us graduated without hearing wedding bells.  We saw apparently "weird" people fall in love and yet neither of us could find a relationship worth staying in.  I went off to graduate school and Krista went to another state to teach. Four years later and after a lot of growing up, a mutual friend set us up on a blind date.  We can't thank that friend enough. We would be lying to say that it was love at first sight.  It wasn't.  It took time for our love to grow.  But as we dated and got to know each other, we realized how much fun we were having.  And this you know, is how true love grows...slowly, with great sensitivity and selflessness.  

We hope this BLOG is one that will allow our friends to be encouraged in their own marriages and let our friends know how to pray for us along the way.

Details Details Details

Planning a wedding is hard work!  Krista has taken the lead with the planning and has done a great job so far.  We keep telling ourselves that it will be worth it on the day of, and we believe it, but there is a lot that still needs to be done.  During our pre-marital counseling tonight we told our counselor, "We are just ready to be married."  These days are long. The three months until the wedding doesn't seem like enough time to get everything done but at the same time, it doesn't seem to come fast enough.  Between buying a house, planning a wedding, attending to busy jobs and having a meaningful relationship with each other, God and our friends, life is very full these days.  We find joy in just being together during our down time!

Engagement Pictures

Just a couple of weeks ago Aaron and I went down to Corona Del Mar, Newport Beach to take our engagement pictures with our fabulous photographers, Jeff and Erin Youngren. Aaron and I were both a little nervous, feeling like, you know, we're not supermodels or anything! Also, it was a "cold" California day, so I was worried about being too cold! But, because it was cloudy the lighting was perfect, and Aaron kept me warm! :) As we took our engagement pictures, I thought to myself... I can't believe we're doing this! It's real! We're really getting married! And... the next time we'll be taking pictures... I'll be in my dress and he'll be in his tux! This is an exciting time!

Can't Leave..just yet

After the concert we couldn't leave. We had so much joy. We couldn't leave the place we were engaged. So, we went for a walk down State St. in Santa Barbara.

Throughout the night Krista and I couldn't stop but look at the ring. It signified our love, commitment and enjoyment of one another. I told Krista that she has the best hands for an engagement ring..she didn't hesitate to agree. What can I say, she looks amazing with a diamond ring on.
