My better half

I'm over here at my grandparent's house without my husband. Now we didn't get into a fight...we are renewing our vows this Sunday. You may ask, buy why choose to be away from him that long? Well the thing is I still have alot left to get before I'm fully ready for what I like to call the 'Formal Wedding.'

You see my husband and myself got married back on October 2, 2009. We weren't dating very long by this time, but we knew we were in love and that it was meant to be. Chris and I began dating on August 31, 2009. I know that's not very long to have dated and then gotten married, but we prayed about it. If you know you love someone, why should you wait years and years to finally do what you've wanted to do all along?!

After much prayer and discussion we decided that we were going to elope (well we did want a formal wedding but felt like God wanted us to go ahead and get married.) We weren't sure how our families would take the news of us wanting to get married because of the fact that we hadn't known each other long at all. We thought they would tell us that we hadn't been dating long enough to fall in love or to know if we truly loved one another. So we took matters into our own hands because we knew what we were doing was right, we drove out to the Bibb County Courthouse, showed our ideas, filled out some paperwork, answered some questions (assured them we weren't related lol), and then it was official. I became Mrs. Christopher Walters on Friday October 2, 2009.

The next step was to tell our families (yes it is true, we ran away got married and then had to break the news to everyone.) When we told them, they were shocked. But they took it very well. My family welcomed him and his welcomed me. Now everyone is pitching in to help us with our 'Formal Wedding.' I feel so blessed to have been born into such and wonderful family and thne married into a wonderful family. Most of the time I feel like I don't deserve any of these wonderful people that I have surrounding me.

I will go into detail at a later date about when we got married and what has happened since.

I chose to write about Chris tonight because he is my world., he is the half that makes me whole...my better half. If you listen to these songs 'The Day Before You' by Rascal Flatts, 'God Bless the Broken Road' by Rascal Flatts or 'You Saved Me' by Kenny Chesney they will describe how I feel about him. I didn't realize I would miss him this much, with just being 30 minutes away and only going to be gone for 3 days. I get to see him tomorrow because we have the wedding rehearsal at the church at 2, but then I'm coming back to my grandparent's and not seeing him until Sunday at the wedding. Y'all have to understand that we were even apart this long when we were dating. (At least not that I remember) You may call it weakness but I call it love. The love of a husband that is so strong that our being seperated makes me crave his kisses. It makes me want to drive to him, but I know being apart for a little while will make our marriage even stronger.

I am so nervous ( I know I'm already married, but that doesn't calm my nerves any.) I know I did the hard part and found the perfect man, but even though I'm already married the wedding is a big deal. It's what a girl dreams of her entire life. I know that God will work EVERYTHING out for us. No matter what we are struggling with. I can't wait until Sunday. I miss him so much right now. I just want the world to know that I love Mr. Walters and I don't care who knows it. Words can't describe how I feel about him. He is truly the answer to my prayer. I am so blessed to be married to such a wonderful, loving, God fearing, sexy, country boy. He is the perfect man for me and no one but God could ever take that away from me. Chris is mine and I shall cherish him until the end of time.
