My baby girl got married!
My baby girl got married! On August 1st, 2020 my stunning Calista Jean married her best friend Jacob. It was the most beautiful day. It was a perfect day. It was a bittersweet day. Watching your first born walk down the aisle to marry her prince . I can’t explain it. This feeling. Of contentment. I thought that it would be harder. But God prepared my heart and Cali’s. This season ahead is pretty awesome. Seeing your girl become an adult and that all the hard work, tears, joy, good times and the bad. That you did good. You prepared her. You taught her. You believed in her. You pushed her. You let her go. To be a wife.
I dreamed of this day for Calista. She did too. Time flew by. Before we knew it the day was here. Her little fairy tale wedding came true. Such a precious ceremony. Everything went as planned. What made it even more special my bubba brother performed the ceremony. Calista’s brothers by her side. Watching Dave dance with his girl. My mommy shaking her hips with Jacob’s Oma. Our beautiful family and friends there to celebrate. The tears flowed but the laughter and joy was abundant. Calista and Jacob could not have been anymore calm and adorable. You can see the love. That pure love. I am so thankful for that. My girl. Is strong. She loves something fierce. She loves her Jacob. He is so good for her. They complete each other. I am proud of them both. I can’ t wait to see what God has in store. It’s going to be amazing.
I miss her. She is my best friend. Always has been and always will be. We get each other. We torment each other. We laugh together. Cry too. She made me a mom. We have grown up together. We have learned together. We have gotten healthy together. She has been one of my biggest inspirations. Encourager. Supporter. Motivator. She pushes me. Believes in me. She calms me. Loves me. Unconditionally. Goodness I love my Calista Jean. Even though we are apart we will always be together. Thank you baby girl for being one amazing daughter. Now enjoy being an awesome wife and the life He has planned for you.
To my Cali and Jacob. Never stop loving. Trying. Embracing. Hugging. Talking. Understanding. Laughing. Giving. Dreaming. Holding hands. Forgiving. Praying. Smiling. Learning. Growing. Communicating. Kissing. Encouraging. Make each other a priority and just enjoy your life together to the fullest. Put Him first and the rest will fall into place. Praying always for happiness, grace and LOVE for a lifetime. I love and adore you both so stinkin much.
To all the moms out there. Enjoy your time with your babes. It goes by way too fast. Stop and take in all the sweet goodness of mom life. I know it is hard. Daunting at times. But you got this. Laugh and cry with them. Be honest with them. Talk with them. Share with them. Embrace them. Comfort them. Allow them to fall so they learn to get right back up. Do not be hard on yourself. Know that the decisions you make and things you do for them are what’s best for them. Do not allow what others say or do make you feel like you are not doing good enough. You ARE. You are doing GREAT. I promise. You will look back one day and realize you did it. You raised some pretty fabulous kiddos. Keep it up! I’m proud of you.
Love the season your in my sweet friends! Life is just fun and so rewarding.
Remember…
