new wife, new life, new blog

So the last time I blogged was last year or something (yikes)... I have not been so great with the whole blog thing, have I?  Well, things have changed since last year... the biggest change being that I am now a wife.  I am now a Nelson.  Officially.  And I must say... it IS pretty great.  Our wedding was a blur... but a glorious blur that still makes my heart swell when I think about it.  So many people say your wedding day "goes by sooo fast"... so I tried to prepare myself... tried to make it really last.  But I think that, no matter how hard you try, the day is going to fly by.  Perhaps it is just the nature of "the wedding day."  But it was good. So good.  We are blessed to have been able to partake in this holy sacrament in the Church... it was indescribably powerful and emotional for us.   We celebrated with the best of friends and family at a pretty lovely reception venue.  Dana Grant was able to capture our wedding perfectly with her amazing photography skillz.  And even though it poured rain (I had a feeling that was going to happen... but hey.. that's the risk you take with a February wedding)... somehow it all worked out.  So yeah... that's about it... the "short version."  We got married.  Steven is my husband.  I am his wife.  We still have a lot more growing to do together... and I am so excited for it all.
