Years ago I met 2 lovely people, Ben and Annie. I had the privilege of photographing their wedding. So I knew when I was going to get married that Ben and his video company would be the one to video my wedding. I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out, I absolutely love it!
Please enjoy!

How Pinterest inspired our wedding!
I was so inspired by so many people and ideas, I knew that I wanted a DIY wedding and since D and I are creative people DIY was the only way to go.
We planned every element and had an amazing crew of people that helped us make it all happen.
First it started with the hunt for our wedding site. I had wanted to get married on a farm and have the reception in a barn. He wanted me to have what I wanted. We were on an low budget so the hunt was on. We spent hours looking online and driving all around Indiana. We found places and they were either too expensive, too dirty, too far away or the date was booked. All I can say is that I left many places broken hearted. Then the day came when my honey sent me this link. I looked at this place online and sent an e-mail to see if they even did events. Within moments I got an email back and planned a visit. As soon as we met the Dull's and saw the site we knew this was where we were going to get married.

Then I gathered the troops. I shared with a friend my idea for flowers and she stepped up and made it all happen. His mom and Grandma made the guys bow ties. Everyone gathered blue ball jars and another friend took all the random burlap and fabric and made the table runners. A whole bunch of friends made the dessert table happen. My bridesmaid and friend Amy was our AMAZING dj. And another friend Jose ran our photo booth.

New wife.....it's a new life!
I've wanted to write this post for a while, to start this new blog but I tend to get busy forget about it. But now I'm here and get to begin blogging again!
So here it goes!
My husband and I were married on 9/1/12, we met a mere 8 months earlier but within weeks knew that God had planned for us to be together forever. So much of our dating relationship was a whirlwind of wedding plans, meeting family, meeting friends and marriage counseling. I'm very glad we spent that time doing all those things, but I do feel like I missed out on the dating side a little. I mean he doesn't have to plan outings for us now and try to sweep me off my feet. And everyone will tell you that you still need to date your spouse, but since we didn't really date I truly don't think we know how.
Now that's not to say that I don't think my husband is amazing or even doubt that he loves me. Because love isn't about dating anyway.
One thing I am learning big time is that it is so hard for me to truly serve my husband as if I'm serving Christ (Eph 5:22, "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord."). I see almost every second how I let my emotions rule me and that I keep track of wrongs. I often wonder if it were Jesus who loaded the dishwasher not how I like it if I would get upset with him and tell him he doesn't listen to me. I'm missing out on being thankful that I'm not doing life alone, but have someone who wants to walk by my side. There is a lot I need to change about me to make this marriage work. I need to learn how to remove the log from my own eye first!
Part of learning to serve my husband the way I would serve Christ is to learn to do it selflessly. I thought that I had the whole love Jesus and serve thing down, until it started to affect how I ran my house. And rule my sleep and evenings. When those parts of my life started to get interrupted I realized that I really only served Jesus when it was convenient for me, or when I was happy and not in a bad mood. Well HELLO to my selfish life being interrupted! Leave it to the Big Guy to bring an amazing man into my life to teach me how to serve Him better!
So that is where this blog starts...the birth of Works in progress.
You will see everything on this blog from our stories before we became one, to who we are now. And even how I am learning to serve Christ through serving my husband. Which currently means cooking, so be prepared to see lots of posts about what we are eating!!
