15 more days

my babe is leaving for 8 1/2 weeks of boot camp in texas. i can't describe how much i'm going to miss him! so while he's gone i have decided to fly out to utah to spend time with family. hopefully i can keep myself busy :( sometimes we're sitting down watching a movie or just talking and i look at him and i start to cry.... (PLEASE let these months pass by fast!) but after we finally reunite he and again will be off to tech school where i may or may not join him, but even if i was allowed to i would still have to wait more weeks. i pray i won't have to wait long and that i can be strong/busy while we are apart. project time?

WE DID IT! December 9, 2011 My babe and I were married and sealed for time and all eternity in the Orlando FL Temple. We did our endowments the night before on the 8th and I want to say that the Temple is wonderful. I didn't notice how strongly I felt the spirit until after I had left the Temple that night. My longing to go back is very strong. I love being there.

Our Honeymoon was unlike any experience I could have imagined. We went to orlando and stayed at the Radisson Hotel. It was clean and very nice. The first day we went to universal and islands of adventure. The next two days after that were spent in the hospital. :( no details on that....but i'm fine now and my husband was very calming and supportive :) The rest of the honeymoon we bought a dvd player, rented some movies, and ordered room service. it was nice. i had fun just hanging with my lovey.
Now we're back to reality and moving into our new place, which is turning out to be a lot more challenging than we thought, and more expensive.
Welcome to married life.............

the very first

this is the very first picture that was taken of us as a "couple" (i'm pretty sure i was his girlfriend then)

bridal shower

tonight for my bridal shower i binged on the most delicious indian food. it was ahhmazing! my mom and sisters, my aunt, my best friend lauren and her mother and mother-in-law...all came out and celebrated. and gave me lingerie (bow chika wow wow). which seemed to concern my 8 yr old little sister because she proceeded to warn me to "cover my end zone" and suggested i not wear these fancy clothes out in public. ;)
 i was serenaded by sweet tatiana as she sang to me "someone like you" by adele. it was beautiful and i've agreed to let her sing it at our reception. i also got some candles and a fragrant oil burner and some heavenly smelling body care products.
although there were some absentees tonight, all in all, it was wonderful.

forever

june 8th  i became somone's babe. almost exactly 6 months from then, dec 9th, i will be his babe forever.

this is all new

after countless visits over the past year or so to blogs belonging to my family and friends, i've decided to start a blog of my own. it's always been fun to read what's going on in their lives and to see all the cute pictures. and since my life is rapidly changing, marrying my babe abraham, i wanted a place to share our happening. enjoi. :)
