Admittedly, I'm from the American West so it was all kind of familiar; I've seen their pottery, been to "Rendevouz" festivals and even learned some of their dances. That all being said, I was fascinated by the museum. Have fun in DC! I recommend the Library of Congress if you have a free afternoon--it was my favorite thing in DC. xox I went to the Native American museum and absolutely loved it.

My hands are trembling! Gosh! *deep breath* First- congratulations. Congratulations on being formally, officially, beautifully, and meaningfully married. The time and effort you took to make so very many decisions say more about the two of you as a couple and your future life together than so many other "weddings". You made is yours with so many details that I am not astonished (because I know how amazing you are, how bright and beautiful your heart truly is) but proud. Yes. I am proud to know you, to have you in my life in any way possible. Second- I managed to not start crying until I got to the part about the tea ceremony. Oh, Faye.... *tears up again* Third- this is more of a question as I found myself reading part of this and wondering, "Wait, what?" I am interested in your religion itself. You said this life and the next and the next. Is reincarnation part of your beliefs? When you have time, I'd love to know. I know, I know, I could google it but I'd rather hear it from a true believer than a page of information, you know? Fourth- there are so many things about what you've said and done in this post I couldn't possibly write down all the thoughts I have without it becoming my own blog post, and you know I occasionally prattle on so forgive me, my heart is full of love and warm fuzzies and joy. Fifth- I look forward to the photos, when you've time. And last but most certainly not least: Knowing the two of you are sealed together in marriage makes the world somehow feel more correct, even for me. I'm sure it feels that way for the two of you, and many of your friends and family, and even though I could not have traveled so far (medical and financial reasons) to be there, I am still very deeply moved... as I said, I feel like the world is somehow more correct now. Aligned. Positive. Your happiness is my happiness, love. I don’t know what to write first. My hands are trembling! Gosh!

It took me at least 4 months to make heads from tails when I met and then married Andrew and my life totally changed. If anyone can understand what you're going through, count me in. 4 years later I'm still working on getting out of the house at least once a day (doesn't always happen) and finding/creating things/hobbies/worthwhile efforts to fill my days and give more meaning and value to what I do. It's hard at times, and fulfillment doesn't always just come in being a homemaker, like you say it's still important to be you and do things for you. But all in, I love it, and you're right it is a preparation time, exercise for the mind and soul, till the next step comes along. Good luck! Nicola Faye,

I say it's all completely random and essentially meaningless (IMO). I mean - Cori from BYUH just sent me a FB message saying she had a dream I was shot in the butt by a pink dart while we were on an adventure race.

Favorite line: the one about enjoying being in a place you like less because of the person you like most. Christopher is a lucky man! And - yay for lemon trees! I grew up in Northern CA with lemon trees in my backyard. Best lemonade ever. I really enjoyed reading this (as always) and it was superbly written (again, as always).
