Proud

I got to say, I am SO proud of these things.

Among many other things.

I just want to say it out loud. (online)

My wonderful bouquet at my wedding.

So pretty.

So simple.

So perfect.

I must say, In my opinion, I have not met anything that can match it.

I am grateful for my wonderful Mother picking out something so wonderful! =]

And... the LA temple. I got to admit, growing up I thought nothing special of the LA temple. When Joe and I got engaged, we talked about it. We realistically could have gone to about ANY temple in California, taking all about the same time. But, we decided that this was OUR temple, the one we have always been assigned too, the one that we have always gone to. If it was not already special to us, we decided to MAKE IT special to us.

And it is. It so very much is.

I love this picture. More than any other picture of us. It is the perfect one. The perfect moment. I remember that just moments before this, Joe and I were standing inside the BEAUTIFUL place together, not caring about anything else in the world. We were holding each other, looking at each other, so full of love and happiness. We didn't want to leave, we were so happy where we were. But, out we went to start out lives. And that is EXACTLY what this picture captures.

Love. Joy. Happiness. Adventure.

I must say, I have never seen one quite like it.

This is why I LOVE the LA temple. I wish all temples had an exit like this for the bride and groom. I wish that they all could capture this moment.

But alas, I will be proud to be one of the few. =]
