New Life: Part 2 - Tying the Knot

Well, I've made it down to Casa Hogar in Oaxaca, Mexico, safe and sound for trip number 1,456,783. Just kidding! But sitting on that long flight in the center seat stuck next to an armrest-hogger after my recent bout with the flu, and a mere 2.5 hours of sleep the night before doesn't really make for pleasant memories. But...I made it, and am back in one of my favorite places to be.

I'm a very lucky girl because I get to pursue two of my passions in this life at the same time. It does make for an inner-conflict from time to time, but most of the time I can combine them and it's pretty amazing. Obviously, music is one of them (by the way, I have a new song that I'll be playing at my upcoming shows...stay tuned!) and the other is volunteering my time in Oaxaca, Mexico.

I will share a little bit about this more next week when I'm not exhausted and sleep-deprived, but I said that I was going to share my piece of news #2, which is: I got hitched! For those of you who didn't already know, Bryan (that's my husband) and I got married a few months ago, and so far, so good. :) For those of you who enjoy details: after a month-long engagement, we said our "I do's" in an 11 minute ceremony, in a tiny chapel, with our immediate families and a few friends by our sides. Since you are also my friends, I wanted to share the news and thank you for all of the love and support you have always shown us.

Luckily, nothing much changes for us (but I do have some really nice jewelry), which was non-stressful and perfect. People do treat us a little differently now that we're married, which is weird, but whatever, people are weird. I've always been a pretty private person about my personal life, so I can't say that I enjoy all of the attention suddenly focused on us, but I know that people are being weird because they're happy for us and want to show us some lovin', and for that, I'm very grateful. So, moving right along...I wanted to show you a photo of us on the big day as proof and move on past this little announcement!

Have a great day, and as always I am so grateful for all of your love and support.
