Jake and I have been married for a whole 5 days and it has been total bliss. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to know that I am sealed to such a wonderful man for time and all eternity. Awesome!! I love being able to have the knowledge that we will be together forever and so will our future family (no worries it will be awhile till that happens =P). After such a long time we finally are able to see each other everyday and not have to rely on phone calls or short visits to satisfy us. What a blessing it is being able to have him be the first and last thing I see everyday. I love it.
I know that it is a bit cliche but I am on cloud-nine and never want to come down. This newlywed phase is the best. The two of us are able to continue to explore and find out new and exciting things about each other as we strive to consolidate and learn to live with each other. I couldn't ask for of any better than the moments we have right now.
At this time I would also like to thank all those that helped to bring this union together. Both of our families were such a supportive pillar as we began this joyous life change. While I can't thank each individual here just know that Jake and I are very appreciative of everything that you might have done for us both big and small. It was a true relief knowing that we had such a wonderful support system of family and friends. We love you all and hope that we will continue to have this support as we all continue through this adventure called LIFE.

I wrote this poem to read to you at your wedding dinner, but since the circumstances didn't allow, I thought I would post it as your first official blog entry:
Married life isn’t easy but it’s every bit fun
You are suddenly wed! Not a two, but a one
The best words I will give is advice that WE got:
It’s Remember your HAVES, not just all your HAVE NOTS!
You have two brains for working out wrinkles and kinks
Four eyes can sure scowl but it’s more fun to wink!
You’ve got double the ears, they are all made to hear
But a sweet simple whisper pulls you close, draws them near!
You two have such sweet kissers, you can use them to peck
you can use them to WHINE, or to speak with RESPECT
All those hands, you have now to find every which way
To break through many walls that build up day by day
Use your fingers to tickle, slide together your palms
Write some sappy love letters and shake hands after qualms
Don’t forget to link elbows, cross your ankles and knees
Go ahead and play footsies, lick your lips, be a tease!
You have family to turn to, you have friends to hold tight
You have years to perfect things, to flip wrongs into rights
You have secrets and stories only you two will share
You have dreams, prayers, and wishes, you’ve got youth, you’ve got HAIR!
You have knowledge and freedom and passion and love
You have tons of support from down here and above
You have laughter and patience and hugs, you have heart
So don’t be afraid of this new life to start
‘Cuz you have much, much more than the things you have not
And my sweet, newlyweds, it adds up to a lot!
Good Luck! We sure love you and are glad to HAVE YOU in the family! Please enjoy this blog as a way to keep up with your friends and family both in Utah AND in California!
Love,
Jess
