I'm a Hord!

Even though it was seriously considered having Brayden take my last name, we both prayed and decided to keep it traditional with me taking his name. Brayden was worried about the teasing our kids will get, the same that he recieved for having his last name. But I guess they will have to handle it... it builds character! Besides that, I am so relieved that we are finally married! Everyone has told me that marriage doesn't change anything, so I was preparing myself to not feel any different, but I do feel different now. I feel so much more appreciative of Brayden and all that he is and will be sacrificing for me. I feel like I've turned a corner in my life, one where selfish decisions are no longer an option to me. I feel like I understand the gospel just a little better, I appreciate what exactly I'm missing right now, which is that eternal promise and sealing. I have a drive now to make sure that Brayden and I are continually working together to recieve that blessing, that eternal seal between us and our God.  Above all else, I feel so greatful to have my family here to support me, and now I have a wonderful husband to stand beside me in all things. I'm so glad I have such an adorable, kind, loving, supportive husband. =]

Valentines Day Wedding.. wooo!

Brayden and I are getting married on Valentines Day... yes, tomorrow. I'm so excited! Even though it's going to be a small wedding, it has been so nerve racking trying to figure out all the details! But thankfully I have a wonderful sister-in-law who has a nack at cheap, last minute planning. We decided that she needs to write a book on how to do the "dollar store wedding", cause that is where we got everything for the wedding (decoration wize) and I think it all looks beautiful! So thank you Morgan for all your help! I can't wait to see my sister again, after living so close for the past six months it's weird to think that I can't just drop by and see the kids whenever. I'm so glad everyone has been so supportive and helpful with my last minute decisiont to throw this on everyone! lol.   Morgan made these cute red tutu's for the girls to wear with black ribbon and a red flower in the middle of the bow. Madison and Leila are going to be the flower girls, and Dyl will be the ring-bearer, and I know they will all look soooo adorable! I can't wait! =]
