THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!
I've experienced many beautiful, fulfilling, and challenging times in my 27 1/2 years of life.
I believe those experiences both good and bad are the very definition of life. I believe we must have the dark in order to see and fully enjoy the light. Kimble is my world now. He brings so much goodness, joy, love, meaning, and adventure to my once very different life. It was not a bad life, but a hard one. I was an overly independent, introverted, selfish, and at the same time a very lonely girl. I craved connection yet constantly pushed people away.
On February 22, 2018 I married Kimble Jensen. I married the man I used to write about in my journal and even here on my blog. I married the man Heavenly Father so patiently prepared me for. I married my best friend.
Our wedding day was hands down the best day of my life thus far. It was better than any dream, pinterest board, or movie I had imagined my wedding would be like. Aside from being inside the Temple with Kimble the PEOPLE were what made the day. It is so humbling to be surrounded by friends and family from all over the world who are there to whole heartedly support you both in this new adventure. I did my best to look around, to open my eyes and heart and remember every smiling face that was there for us that day. Inside the temple it took everything in me to hold back the alligator tears. A few did slip out but dang that frog in my throat was almost too much to handle. I so badly needed to ugly cry the BIGGEST tears of gratitude. My heart was bursting at the seams. The entire day was pure JOY, LOVE, and HAPPINESS.
On our one month anniversary I wrote my humble newlywed opinion on marriage: " Marriage isn't the answer to all of life's problems. It doesn't magically take away sadness or spells of depression that may creep up. It doesn't eliminate your trials or take away your pain. But what I will say is dang marriage is fun. The sense of security that Kimble gives me is worth every moment of sadness or loneliness that I had previously experienced. We are human and life is definitely a rollercoaster but I am ready. My seat belt is buckled and I am holding on tight to this guy waiting for whatever life will throw at us. I never knew a love like this existed and dang babe you were so worth the wait. Thanking our Heavenly Father everyday for letting you choose me. I am the luckiest girl."
