Jared and I were married July 20th, 2007. I don't want to sound corny...but it was perfect. I was a little nervous about having a wedding in the middle of the summer in Minnesota because the weather can be so unpredictable...but we couldn't have been blessed with a more beautiful day. I love planning weddings and wish I could do it all over again, but since I plan on sticking with my husband for the rest of my life I will just have to help my sisters and friends :)

Now: Our journey has led us from Minnesota to West Virginia. We have been married for three wonderful, but less than perfect years. If someone tries to tell you marriage is always fun, and easy, they are lying. However, if they tell you it is a challenging blessing, they'd be right on.
