My new family

Oh happy day!  I'm now a wife and Mrs. Janicek...I absolutely love saying that.  Saturday was an absolutely perfect day.  I can't stop thinking about all of the people we love being there and how it was a complete group effort.  It was amazing and everything I've ever wanted.  But the best part was waking up to my new husband.  The journey, the marriage....it's going to be an adventure for us both and I am so excited about this.  We had all of our favorite people (minus a couple who couldn't make it :( ) there on that day and it really meant so much to me.  Tony was there to marry us and did such an amazing job.  One thing that resonated with me is what he said about our journey - that neither one of us would change it because it brought us our children and gave us a new purpose in life.  And this.......that sometimes life doesn't turn out the way you plan. Sometimes it turns out even better.  My eyes well up with tears everytime I think about that line because it is absolutely 100% true.  I wouldn't change one step of my life - it made me who I am today and tested me to my core.  It gave me a deeper appreciation for the things I have, as well as a new perspective.  And it brought Jared into my life. 
Our new family.
