craig and kara got married a week ago tomorrow - and i can honestly say that i've never loved being apart of something more than i loved being apart of their wedding. it was seriously such an honor to help them out and love them and hang out with them and be apart of that whole process. from the addressing of the invitation envelopes to buttoning up kara's dress the day of and helping her pee after pictures, i felt so cool to be apart of their day and lives like that.

signing their marriage certificate was like saying - 'hey i love you guys and i am going to be your marriage's #1 fan. when you guys are jerks to each other, i'll be there. and when you're dandy - i'll be there too.'

can't wait to watch them grow. i think about them and get teary eyed. i opened my Bible the other day and out popped a card that craig had written me the day after i broke up with my boyfriend. i tell people that craig and kara are great people to go to when you are heart broken, because even though the last thing you want to do is eat for fear of throwing it up, they will still meet you at the airport with crumbs cupcakes and get you flowers and hold you while you cry.

i look at them and see how they waited for each other - not in a cheesy christian way, but in a - wow. God really did have someone that incredibly perfect for you, kind of way and i feel hope shoot into my heart.

now i wish they'd come home from their honeymoon because i haven't been able to talk to two of my best friends for a week. but that's just selfish.
