life is bliss

So I guess it's been a while, eh? Last I wrote, I was recently engaged... well, it all happened. And here's the proof! :-)

Suffice to say, I'm alive after a torrid (not really; it was surprisingly calm) 10-week engagement. My man had my back for a wonderful wedding, and a killer bachelor party. (I can actually say that I had a red-headed slut for my bachelor party, and have no guilt about it.[*]) Everything went perfectly, Vanessa and I had an absolutely tremendous time, it was gorgeous... nothing could have possibly been better.

And above all: I got to marry my best friend. Coming from an... interesting perspective, I think it's pretty cool that I've been given a second chance to pursue love in my life. Vanessa is everything I've ever wanted in a helpmate. She makes me want to be better, but truly loves me where I'm at. She shares my heart for the Lord, and shares my perspective on His desire for our lives. She does NOT share my politics (hi Ed! ;-) but shares my heat and passion for discussing political matters. And the best part is "sleeping with the enemy" at the end of it all, leaving silly discussions far behind us... ;-)

In any case, back to the wedding: thanks to everyone who could attend, to those who could only attend in spirit, and to the number of folks who helped with things. Call me high, but God -- and life -- is just amazing.

[*] Who'da thunk that there's actually a drink called a "red-headed slut"? Alan, maybe you can help me, but all I remember is Jägermeister and cranberry juice... and that's about ALL I remember of the night, if you catch my drift... ;-)
