these happy golden days

I haven't been here lately, have I? Oh well. I'm a few sentences away from completeing the next leg in my love story, plus finishing a certain re-cap of a certain day last month. Those will come in sweet time, but for now this is "I am still alive, but just really don't have time for thinking up deep and good posts" kind of post. I've never been the best blogger on keeping up, but at least this is a reminder I am still alive and remember this place.

 

Life's been good, but also busy. I can't gurantee it'll ever slow down enough for me to post a lot, but at least I'll pop in every once in a while.

 

My good and busy life has consisted of working full time and being married to my husband! I am so freakin' happy. These are truly the happen golden days. So many times with my Husband being his and my friends before the move. God's been teaching my so much. My heart is so full. We've been treasuring our last days on the east coast by spending most every night at the beach or in the water. I'm such a beach girl and honestly have never been a fan of the west in any way, but maybe I'll fall in love with mountains. This move has been harder than previous moves, because it's so far away. My heart's torn, but it's God's plan right now and I know He has good things in store.

 

Until the day when I post again, please visit my newly created ask.fm. I'll anwser any questions on my life or if you guys want to know more about the wedding, honeymoon, or our love story. I'll eventually try to blog some of these, but for now feel free to ask up. Feel free to ask any other questions, too! I'd love to anwser. The address is: http://ask.fm/Efflorescencebymaya

 

a bit of happily ever after.

"They say if you dream a thing more than once, it's sure to come true." - Sleeping Beauty

There are so many beautiful stories I'm processing from the wedding and the honeymoon, so many gifts to still open, so many pictures to cry and grin over, and so many emails and well-wishes to respond to. There are so many beautiful ways God's been faithful in the past week. There are so many ways I've fallen deeper in love with my husband (may I never grow tired of using that phrase) which have lead to only loving God more. There are so many bits of our happily ever after I can't wait to write about.

But for now, I don't have the time to put all that's gone through my head and notebooks into words.

All I can say is that:

I'm married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I feel just to use as many exclamation marks as a middle schooler, because that's how I feel).

It was beautiful and it happened and I'm weeping right now because it was perfection. He has made all my dreams come true and that I can't even remember a time before the wedding bliss of being completely his wife.

To My Love

Dearest,
You are my best friend, my love, my treasure.
I can't remember a feeling of love that wasn't completely for you.
As the Notebook says,“You are, and always have been, my dream.” 
You've given me new dreams for my life, you've made me  your dream.
Your smile is the thing I've been looking for in a man my entire life.
My heart falls into your heart, my hands fall into your hands.
Your not a Prince Charming and your not perfect, but your perfect for me.
We're young and we're going to figure this thing called life out together.
Just you, me, and the world.
You passionately serve the Savior, you devote your life to Him.
You text me in the middle of the night and send me photo's of everything beautiful you see.
You took a chance several years back in trying to love me and it was the best chance you ever made.
We've messed up and we haven't done it perfectly.
Most days I thought we'd never make it this far.
But we've done it and we're going to keep on pushing.
Because seeing your grin everyday makes it worth it.
I know we'd both walk a million miles just to spend time with one another.
We're so different, but we share the same love.
I'll love you until the day we die, and even after that.
Of the billions that walk the earth each day, your my favorite.
I love the way your favorite color is the color of the beach's sunrise.
I love that you make confused faces even when everything makes sense.
I love the way you always take me on the most creative dates.
I love the way you drum your fingers when your nervous.
I love the way you never don't have something beautiful to say to me.
I love how you draw me close and all I can hear is your heartbeat.
Your always positive and you always are trying to glorify God in every area.
If I had to listen to one sound for the rest of my life, it would be the strum of your guitar.
Darling, I can't wait to be completely yours tomorrow.
I can't wait to kiss you at the alter.
You were so worth waiting for.
 Completely yours,
Your Girl

“So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday. (The Notebook)”

 

I'm getting married tomorrow to the greatest boy ever. I feel infinite. He's made me the happiest. I'll update you all when I come back from the honeymoon!
