Marriage License

Well, it's almost official...Matt and I got our marriage license yesterday! It was fun, and only cost $18. ; )~

We had to raise our right hand and swear that everything on our form was true, and that we'd love each other forever. How many people say that and don't think about what it really means? I meant it.

Of course, the women at the County Clerk's office were swooning over Matt. I arrived first (he's always late, bless his heart) and when he got there they all said, "This handsome man walking in has to be yours." I turned around and said, "Yep, that's him. I'm marrying him."

We celebrated the getting-of-the-marriage-license (we celebrate everything) at MacNiven's, where we met almost exactly 3 years ago. I followed Matt home in the snow storm, smiling all the way.

We're getting married next weekend and Jason & Beth are watching our little angel for us while we sneak off to the woods for a private ceremony; Sam, by the way cut a second tooth this week and began on solid baby food. I love watching each stage of his life, and he is simply adorable (and huge...20 lbs now). He just fell asleep while watching me type this. Mmmmm. Love him.

Matt and I watched the lunar eclipse form between the bare tree branches on another gray winter night this week. We held hands and I felt so blessed for having my little family.
