Amazed

Mary Colleen Keelin Davis. My new name. Yes, it is a bit long now...but it is MY name. I LOVE it. =] I have this gorgeous ring set on my finger, and the most wonderful man I can call my Husband.

Bliss.

Our wedding day was perfect.

We drove down to LA thursday afternoon, met up with family, and spent the night there. It was overcast, but friday was a beautiful day. We had great weather a

ll weekend. The hills were green, and I was in love. =] Getting married in the temple is beyond blogging about. There are no words to describe it.

Just:

=]

I am happy. So happy. So incredibly happy that I am married to this wonderful man, Joseph Davis, for eternity. He is my best friend. When I was shopping for my wedding dress, the one person I wanted their opinion was him- not because he was my fiance, but because he was my best friend.

I married my best friend.

I love him. I have loved every minute being married. The funny thing is, that with all my other friends getting married and planning their weddings, I smile. Because looking back, it did not matter. Any of it. While I was concerned with getting addresses, and planning details- none of it matters anymore. The only thing that matters is that I am with Joe. Nothing else, and now I can see that. =] It is funny.

Find joy in the journey.

All I can remember about our wedding day is the warmth I felt. Everywhere. The sun, the temple, the way Joseph looked at me each time he saw me. The way my heart felt, the way his hands felt with mine- positive about what we were doing. The tears in both of our eyes- tears of joy. Happiness. Love. =] Our family. Our friends. The most important people of our lives standing outside the temple to greet the newlyweds.

Getting married was fun. Being married is a whole new adventure.

The following week we spent sort of camping, and spending time together. Then we went on a cruise to Mexico for a week. It was fantastic! So much fun. Joe got sick the last day, that was lame, but other than that- I have loved the start of my new life. =]

Joe has an internship this summer in Chowchilla, near Fresno- and he left this morning to find us a place to live and start work, and will return on Friday. So for this week I am back at my parents house, missing my husband. He does so much for me, he is wonderful. I love him, miss him, and cannot wait to be near him.

My flowers for our wedding were sunflowers. They are my favorite. They are beautiful. But most of all, they are vibrant. That is the way I want our life to be, Vibrant. Full of life and color.

And that is what it has been. =]
