the surreal life

I'm not one to usually post more than once in a day, but I'm feeling rather random and in the mood to share. (Plus, it's a slow day at work.)

I was just looking at pictures my friend Afton took at my wedding that are on her facebook page. There I am in a wedding dress and Jared is in his suit and we look all happy and excited. We are leaving the reception to go to the hotel. What's not to be excited about, right? It was a very good day after all. And then I was thinking about how we plan on starting a family in the coming year. And then it hit me how surreal life is sometimes. How did I get here? Do you ever look at your life as an outsider and wonder how it all happened? And even though I can retrace all the steps that led me here, it still seems rather shocking that I am married and could have a child of my own by the end of next year.

It feels good to take a moment and digest that.
