Mailing off my wedding dress and our anniversary


OK-did I get your attention with the title of my blog today. I know this is going to sound crazy to a lot of you but let me explain. When we got married over 6 years ago now, we had to rush the wedding just a little. I found out I was pregnant and had everything planned for January. We went ahead and moved it up to August. I had a dress that I loved but since we bumped it up to August the dress couldn't get done in time. Therefore I found a dress that was pretty but wasn't "my wedding dress". I know you all know what I am talking about. Once you found the "one" you just know that it was made for you.

The day of our yard sale for the adoption I put the wedding dress out and a women was very interested. She then came back and bought the dress, another formal and some other stuff. She wanted us to hold it until the check cleared. Well this weekend it had cleared and I went to mail it off. As I got it packaged up I realized that I was mailing off my wedding dress the day before our 6 anniversary. "So glad I am not superstitious." My mom and I got so tickled about it and just laughed. I mailed if off and called the lady I sold it to. She was a sweet lady and I told that I had prayed over it and wished her the most happiness that my wedding day gave me. I pray that the day she uses the dress it will make her the happiest women in the world, because it did just that for me.
I know-I know you still can't believe I sold my dress but I thought what better time to sell it was for the adoption of our daughter. I seriously doubt she would ever want to wear it so now she can just wear my jewelry or tiara. I love my marriage and my wedding day but the dress will go on and make someone else just as happy. That is my prayer.


Our anniversary was Saturday and we went on a date to the Looking Glass and then just went home and hung out and cuddled. It was a great time. My husband is my best friend, spiritual accountability partner, soul mate, and lover. He is my back bone and keeps me sane. I love him more today than ever and I can't wait to keep growing in love with him. This year is going to be the best year ever, we can both just feel it. Last year was a hard year with our miscarriage and the struggles of infertility, but God saw us through and we grew as a couple and in our faith as well. I am so blessed to be married to the most perfect man for me. I love you Jeremy, now and forever always, rhea anne
