Dance With My Father

Tonight on my drive home, I heard the song "Dance With My Father" by Luther Vandross start playing on the radio. At first I was like, "oh wow, I haven't heard this song in forever...." and then my thoughts quickly changed to, "oh wow, holy shit, this song is making me an emotional hot mess!" And I didn't change the radio station. I couldn't change the radio station! And before I knew it, I was a bawling and blubbering mess trying to sing along with tears streaming down my face! The song brought on so many emotions, all good ones, and reminded me of the most special day I've ever shared with my dad which was of course, my wedding. He constantly supported me and Jordan throughout our year long engagement (well, he always did and has, but especially during our engagement!) and he did whatever he could to help give us the most wonderful and amazing wedding that he could give us. And wonderful and amazing it definitely was. I will always cherish the pep talk we had before walking down the aisle together and seeing the smiles exchanged between him and Jordan as he handed me off. Then, my Dad totally blew us away with his hilarious and heartfelt father-of-the-bride speech. His speech left us laughing, crying and laughing some more. And the song "My Girl" will always hold a special place in my heart after dancing to it with my Dad. A simple song tonight on the radio instantly flooded my mind with some of my most cherished and favorite memories with my Dad. And it reminded me just how lucky I am to have such an all-around truly caring, genuine and loving Dad. Can't wait to see him and my mom at Thanksgiving!!

One Month Down & Forever To Go!

When I Say I Do

By: Matthew West

There must be a God, I believe its true. 
Cause I can see His love, when I look at you. 
And He must have a plan for this crazy life. 
Becuase He brought you here and placed you by my side.

And I have never been so sure of anything before, 
Like I am in this moment here with you 
Now for better or for worse are so much more than only words
And I pray everyday will be the proof 
That I mean what I say when I say 'I do'
Yeah I mean what I Say when I say 'I do'

You see these hands you hold, will always hold you up
When the strength you have, just aint strong enough 
And what tomorrow brings, only time will tell
But I will stand by you in sickness and in health 

Cause I have never been so sure of anything before 
Like I am in this moment here with you
And now for better or for worse'
Are so much more than only words
And I pray every day will be the proof 
That I mean what I say when I say 'I do' 
Ya I mean what I say when I say 'I do'

Take my hand and take this ring
And know that I will always love you through anything.

And as the years march on like a beating heart
I will live these words 'til death do us part'

Cause I have never been so sure of anything before 
Like I am in this moment here with you
And now for better or for worse 
Are so much more than only words 
And I pray everyday will be the proof 
That I mean what I say when I say 'I do'
Yeah I mean what I say when I say 'I do'

Happy One Month Wedding Anniversary, Mr. E!

I love you more than you'll ever know, today and always. 

Here's to many more months of celebrating our life together!
All my love,
