A Wedding, a Wife and a New Life

A few weeks of pre- and post-wedding radio silence and I am back. And sitting in the BYU library, of all places. I can't tell if it feels awkward to be here because I've been graduated for 6 years, or if it feels awkward because now I'm one of those married people on campus. I happen to be recruiting attendees for our BYUPAS event in May, although I'd venture to guess nobody cares about that. Let's talk about the wedding! 

My mother and I managed to pull off a rockin' wedding-turned-New-Year's-Eve-party. And for the first 3 days of our honeymoon Adam and I couldn't stop talking about how much we loved it. I kept flashing pictures of our wedding to Adam on my iPhone and we took turns gushing over them. We wondered if something was wrong with us - to be so preoccupied about something that happened in 30 degree weather in Ohio while we were currently sitting on a beach in Puerto Rico - but then we just decided that we had a seriously awesome wedding, and continued to talk about how much we loved it. 

When we found ourselves with both sets of parents last Friday night at a Rolling Stones cover band concert in Park City we had to face the stunning realization that the official honeymoon was over. But unofficially, many honeymoon-like adventures are before us. Most of them we have yet to discover - like where we are going to live when we move to New York on Monday - but I know that everything will be great because I will be with Adam. And he is my Most Very Favorite Person in the Entire World.  

There are so many thoughts swimming around in my head. About our wedding day, our honeymoon, our marriage and our love. I will post more soon. But I had to get a few key things out of the way first - like clearing out 800 unread emails in my inbox, unsubscribing from wedding emails, adding "Benton" to the end of my name in gmail and deleting my Twitter account. Priorities, people.
