Tying the Knot and Opening Boxes


A tremendous amount has happened in the last 3 weeks or so since I wrote last; so much that just thinking about trying to verbalize it is overwhelming.  I suppose I should start with the biggest news update- for those of you who don’t already know: 
WILL AND I GOT MARRIED!!!!
The wedding was fantastic! Shout out to my fam jam who put in a lot of man hours resulting in a gorgeous wedding and reception. =)
Here is a sneak peak at some of the pictures. 

Officially Husband and wife!
My dress and Toms (those were hard to get) and the Bible the ring bearer carried.
A few shots from our ceremony- we did all the normal things and we served communion to the whole audience.
a few decorations from the reception. We made ALL of it.
If you want to see more go to this link: http://laurensandersphotography.smugmug.com/Weddings/WillDevraWedding/24478530_8BbsGP  and if you are in the Manhattan, Ks area and need a photographer look up Lauren Sanders and Jill Grogg because they take amazing pictures and are great to work with!

We had a super fun honeymoon cruise in the Caribbean.  We went to Cozumel (where they try to force you to buy everything… I think they would sell you the dirt on the sidewalks if they could),  Belize, Honduras (an island called Roatan.  That was a gorgeous slice of paradise), and Grand Cayman (where the water is prettier than on the Discovery Channel).

Highlights: Zip lining, swimming with stingrays (my personal favorite!!!), and the amiable dinner table company that God blessed us with!

Now we are home in Lexington again.  Just before we went to Kansas to get ready for the wedding we moved all of our things into one house (that’s in the previous post).  Well, now we are waist deep (knee wasn’t drastic enough) in the adventure of unpacking and turning this house into our home.

It is refreshing to finally be living under the same roof (thanks to Holly and Daniel of http://thecoopfam.com for letting us take over your place).  Strange to think that we only had 6 weeks living in the same city before sharing a house, but I wouldn’t change a thing.  I am glad that our long distance days are done!

Well I don’t want to overwhelm you, and truthfully I haven’t fully processed the last 2 weeks yet, so I will sign off here.
