Q: What were your fears, expectations, & anticipations about getting married?
A: I don't think I ever had any fears about getting married. I guess before I met Josh I had the fear that I would maybe marry the wrong person. That's so silly really. Once Josh was in my life, I had no question in my mind that he was the right person for me. The only time I ever think I was "afraid" of getting married was the second before I walked out of the door to start walking down the aisle. My heart skipped ONE beat. Then I saw him, smiling back at me and that was all that mattered. I had such a good example of marriage in my parents. Now, I didn't say it was perfect, no marriage is. I think that was what I expected though. My parents have a very strong marriage, filled with ups and downs, arguments and agreements. So I knew as long as I had the right partner that the marriage would be great. I expected it to be tough and I expected to work at it and we do.
It has been the best thing I have ever done. I love being married and having Josh beside me.
Q: What special things did you do with your father?
A: I remember waiting for dad to come home from a job and making him cards or crowns and leaving them on the kitchen table for him to see when he came in the door. He would also usually bring me candy like skittles when he came home too! I remember when he couldn't be at one of my dance recitals and he sent me flowers and a stuffed puppy dog. I remember being really little and always wanting to do office work like dad did. I would scribble through a whole legal pad. Boy I thought I was big! :) I remember my 13th birthday and the letter he wrote me and the necklace he gave me. I remember him reading the same letter at my wedding rehearsal dinner and there wasn't a dry eye in the auidence. I remember his smile on my wedding day and how proud he was of me and still is. :) I trully believe my dad is the most hard working man I have ever met. I am so proud of him and all the work he does. I hope I make him just as proud of me as I am of him.
