The Big Day

We had a wonderful wedding. Short, sweet, and beautiful. God is so good to have given me this man to marry.

Gorgeous Nephews:

The Week Before the Wedding

We had quite the eventful wedding week. Let's just say my husband is quite the trooper and he proved it the week before the wedding. On the Monday before the wedding I get a call from my fiance that he is headed to Tyler to get a CT scan. He had been at the doctor's office all morning after I insisted that he go after a weekend of complaining that his side hurt. The CT scan revealed that he had an inflamed appendix and would need to have an emergency appendectomy. So off to the hospital we went and by 6:00 that night, Jarrett had one less body part. After a night of funny moments, including him peeing in a drawer, we left the hospital at 9:00 the next morning, swung by the county clerk's office to get our marriage license and headed home. I tucked him into bed at my house and tried to relax (yeah right!). So the week before the wedding was very challenging, but very much worth it!

Catching Up

I'm having to back track quite a bit due to the fact that I have not blogged since December 1st.

The next few blogs will just be catching up. I have lots of pictures and stories from our wedding and the first 2 months of our marriage. All I can say is that I have never felt more blessed and more at peace with life than I do right now. God truly has blessed me.

Where did he learn this?

Our First Christmas

We decided to decorate early for Christmas this year. We started the weekend before Thanksgiving, and I did not realize that I am marrying a Griswold. He wanted to do all sorts of stuff to my house, but we limited it for this year....we'll see what happens next year. Since we will be a married couple by the time Christmas rolls around and finally living in the same house, it was exciting to think about celebrating our first Christmas together. Here is the start of our decorations. Jarrett later added lights to our roof.

We also put up the Christmas tree and did a little decorating on the inside of the house. And we've gotten almost all of our Christmas presents bought, wrapped and under the tree. I can not wait for Christmas to be here. Mainly because I will finally be Mrs. English!

My First Post

We got engaged on October 19th and are getting married on December the 20th. I know that seems really fast, but I knew within months that I wanted to marry Jarrett.

This blog is basically a way for me to chronicle all that is going to happen with our new family. I'm excited....to say the least!!
