...farewell to the best year of my life thus far...

This morning DG got up early and left long before I did.  A few minutes after he walked out the door I got this text message.  "I heart you very much. Thank you for the best year ever."  Yeah.  This is my life.

It seemed fitting that the last post of this blog land on the last day of the best year of my life.  It is long overdue, as usual, but I thought it'd be much more polite to actually provide some closure rather than letting this blog hang out here in cyberspace without a proper ending.  There are million things I wish I'd made the time to write about, but our wedding is long over, and my priorities have simply shifted away from planning a wedding to living out a marriage.

Beside the fact that the company I work for was nice enough to send everyone home a few hours early, today has been just like any other day.  Even so, the end of another year always seems like a natural opportunity for reflection.  Eight months ago tomorrow, I married my favorite person on the planet.  I suppose that was the highlight of the year...despite the rain.  But for me, 2010 was a lot more than getting married.  It held a million little moments that I wouldn't trade for a lifetime, the kind of moments that just knocked me down with the realization that I am blessed beyond what I ever could have dreamed.  It has been a good year, and 2011 is shaping up to be even better.  I wake up just about every day feeling like the luckiest girl in the world and I have no idea how I got here.  I am quite certain it is by no merit of my own.

So today I'm bringing our journey to a close.  For those of you who kept up with these ramblings, I hope you enjoyed our time together.  For those of you who may find them some day in the future, I hope something I've put down here may inspire your very own dream wedding in some small way.


Just thought I'd leave you with my last little wedding project.  Only took me seven months to get it done.  I designed and printed the photobook below using Blurb's BookSmart.  Made great Christmas gifts for family!
