Fourteen Years Ago Today

I was this girl, preparing to step inside this building.  Anxious, excited and very warm.  (It was really hot that day!)

Inside that building, at the end of a short aisle, this waited for me.

This man, who I know loves me fiercely, gave me away.  

And this man, who I knew and respected nearly all my life, joined me to my best friend in marriage.

And I was blissfully happy.  Still am.

I gained a brother and a sister.

And a wonderful father-in-law, from whom I have since learned much.

I gave Andy all this awesomeness... plus a brother who is not pictured because he was serving a mission in Brazil at the time.

We ate cake.

And I exited that building no longer an individual alone, but a part of a pair.  We ran off to start the journey of our lives.  Marrying this man was simply the best decision I ever made.

To Andrew with all my love - 
may the next fourteen plus years be as amazing as the first.

That family picture was captured by my Grandpa, Marvin Hayman, who I loved and miss very much.
