... I married the most wonderful man in the world.
Our wedding day was, and still is, the best day of my life. I am so thankful that God knew exactly who I needed and when I needed him. There are so many things to love about CDK: he's intelligent, creative, artistic, sensitive, loving, a good listener, caring, and the list truly does go on.
We've been through a lot together, good and bad, but the one constant is that I've never doubted his love for me or my love for him. And we don't do this on our own, God designed this marriage, and He orchestrates all that takes place within it. I am in awe of how God teaches us more about Him through marriage and I plan to keep learning for at least another 60 or so years!
I love you CDK!

Father's Day Follies
We're in our house now, so hopefully I'll return to blogging more regularly. We had a pretty normal move, you know, boxes, trucks, pizza, extreme exhaustion. But thanks to friends and family we were able to share the chaos. I don't want to do this again for a LONG time.
Since both of our families helped with the move, were in town, and it was Father's Day, we decided to treat them to lunch. We tried for reservations at both our dad's favorite restaurant, P.F. Chang's, but nothing was available till 3:15. Then we tried another place, but they weren't taking reservations. So we decided we would go before 12 to a local Mexican place that usually seats you pretty fast.
We arrived and there was a small line, but not too bad. So we waited. Well it ended up taking about 30 minutes to be seated because of our big party and the weird way they seat people. We sat down and one person from another table said they waited an hour for their food. I thought, surely not. Well we waited, and waited, and waited. Then I noticed another family, that was seated before us get up and leave, with no food. After waiting over an hour, with only chips and salsa, CDK asked our waitress to check on our food (who by the way was the bright spot in the day - thanks Courtney for great service!). Our food was still 15-20 minutes away from being ready. So with NGK well past her nap time and the rest of us frustrated we tipped the waitress and left. My parents headed home and CDK's stopped back by our house for Wendy's. So much for the wonderful Father's Day lunch.
Later that evening we went to Target. We were in the store about an hour and then left and drove a few blocks down the road. I ran into a restaurant to grab some food and when I came back out CDK told me to look on top of the SUV. Our moon roof was shattered. We didn't know what happened and were racking our brains trying to figure out if we caused it. We looked again and found a tennis ball-size rock lodged in the luggage rack. Someone had thrown a rock in the parking lot (or from the hill above the lot) and shattered our moon roof. It was really frustrating. We know someone must have thrown it because we would have definitely heard it if it hit while we were driving. So we filed it on insurance and it will be over a week by the time it's been fixed.
And to top that off, the day before our neighbor backed into CDK's company car and left a huge dent in the bumper. When it rains it pours!
