Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Milliken

That just sounds neat doesn't it. Sorry if your tired of me talking about it, but I am still UBER excited to be the Mrs. Reed Milliken. I mean I'm a MRS.!

Wow there is so much to update on but so little time!

First I wanted to let everyone know that our wedding pictures are mostly up and will be completely up probably tomorrow.

I couldn't help going through them earlier and it just made my heart flutter...the day was truly wonderful. It was everything I ever wanted to be and that isn't me just letting out some well rehearsed speech. I was nervous that I would be stressed and that I would get fatigued (you know, the whole "chronic-mono" gig that seems to get me every once and a while). But we were truly able to soak up every moment and just ENJOY it. That was our goal...to soak it up...to cherish every person we got to see, to go wild and crazy with every dance...to live it up to the fullest.

Sometimes I let myself fear living to the fullest. I don't know what I'm really afraid of...mostly just sticking my neck out there, but Reed and I were determined to soak it up and most of all have FUN! It's amazing how easy it is to forget that detail when your worrying about how other people are feeling and if they are too stressed out. Only by God's grace could I let go of my "people-pleasing" side and just enjoy and rejoice in our wedding.

The ceremony was beautiful and our pastor did such an excellent job reminding us of the holiness that marriage is, how it was created by God and therefore we should tremble at the challenge of taking it...tremble, yet find miraculous joy in it. We take marriage very seriously. We take it seriously because God has shown us in His word that He takes it seriously.

So with that challenge before us, we grasped each others hands (I really thought Reed might lose blood circulation) with fear and trembling at the amazing journey we were about to embark on. I am so excited to see what God has in store for us...He meant us to be better together than we are alone! How neat!

Anyways I have so many more thing to update you on...Jamaica, the week with my sister, the weekend with Reed's parents, life back in College Station....

oh and I PASSED ALL FOUR SECTIONS OF THE CPA EXAM! Praise God! I can truly say that the Lord has blessed me beyond measure and that really, me passing, it was all Him. Completely His.

Alright, that's it for now! I'll be back soon!
