WE ARE MARRIED





























We finally did it! It finally happened! Yesterday was such an amazing day! The wedding went wonderfully and the reception was a blast. Cody and I didn't see each other until I walked down the aisle and we were both a bundle of nerves all day long. It is such an amazing and overwhelming feeling right now. Everyone told us that we wouldn't feel any different really but I really do. I mean, nothing has REALLY changed yet...I haven't legally changed my name or anything, but I do feel different.
The ceremony went really well. I was so nervous, my bouquet was shaking like crazy! I held in the tears until after the ceremony but once we got out of the room and I hugged Cody, the tears came pouring out. I just couldn't help it. All the emotions and nerves and stress....it is so hard to hold all that in! The reception went amazingly well too. It was a little sketchy at first because the pictures weren't going as planned, but it all turned out okay, and once I was able to take a deep breath and relax, I was able to enjoy everything. It was so nice to see everyone and if we didn't get to catch up with someone we are so sorry! We tried to make the rounds!

I think everyone enjoyed the reception...maybe a little too much haha. I posted a few pictures from the reception to show how much fun everyone had!
So what happens next? We are ready to move to Seattle. We are going to go sign up for an apartment Tuesday in Bothell and then we leave for Hawaii on Wednesday morning. I can't wait to get there! It will be nice to relax before we start work!

Everyone, thank you so much for all the support, the gifts, and the advice! We are so blessed and I am so blessed to become a part of the Grant family and I know Cody feels the same way about my family!
God Bless and we will post when we get back from Hawaii!

Great news!

8 days till the wedding! It is coming up so fast! We are both getting so excited! Tonight is both of our bachelor and bachelorette parties. It should be pretty fun! I cannot WAIT to be married!

So, the good news (besides getting closer to being married) is that I got a job! Cody got one in Bellevue about a month ago as a Sales Rep for InSite Global. It is an IT contracting firm. Then, I went in on Wednesday for a final interview for a company called SL Start & Associates. It is for an HRA postion (Human Resource Associate) and they called me yesterday to offer the job to me. It is in Shoreline, so we are going to live in Kirkland. We are going apartment hunting on Monday! I am so excited! It will be nice to be able to start our married life out with two incomes...especially in the Seattle area...Very Expensive over there!!!!

Any who...back to the wedding...things are really coming together. I got my final fitting for my dress done yesterday and I was so excited to put it on again! All that is left is the last minute meetings that need to be done next week. I am getting kinda nervous...more about the actual wedding then being married. I have been having weird dreams every night and each night something goes wrong...like we forgot to do the rehearsal, no one showed up, the lady doing our hair showed up 5 minutes before the wedding started, it was raining...etc...I guess thats pretty normal though...as long as none of that happens!

Well, I am off to go do some more wedding stuff!! Have a great day!
