Day 6

There you have it.  We've been married 6 whole days and we couldn't be happier.

Yesterday was a big day for us.  We are no longer preventing pregnancy via artificial birth control.  Now, let's not get ahead of ourselves... we aren't TRYING for pregnancy, we just aren't actively preventing it.  When we took our vows together, we agreed we will freely welcome children as God gives them to us. I wasn't sure this was a place Joe & I would ever be, and here we are.  :)

Last night I also learned Joe is also a much "softer" man than I had thought.  We had both been in agreement that things wouldn't change after we were married.  After all, we'd always been told nothing would.  We feel that was very incorrect.  We DO feel different!  I feel my love for Joe is much stronger than before.  I think he'd say the same about me.  Last night as we were laying in bed having our pillow chat he turned and said to me, "It's like you hold a very special place in my heart now.  A space I didn't even know was there, but you have it now."

Who would have thought this blog would only be about Joe and I?  Of course it isn't...  There's our lovely little man, Whitaker, too.  Today we were early risers as he had another modeling job with Kohl's.  He was the intended back-up kid, but after giving the first kid a chance, they chose Whitaker hands down (they got him dressed, hair, makeup and the shot in under 15 minutes).  This was followed by a lunch date with Grandpa.  It was very exciting to be able to prick Grandpa up from work!

Tonight is another very big step for our family.  We pick up the keys to our rental house in Eagle.  We do have that extra bedroom now ;)

With Love,
