Well Hello again :)
We have finally settled in and I am back to blogging! So much has happened since I last blogged it is hard to even find where to begin...
Let's start with the wedding <3 It was perfect! Nic and I could not have been more pleased with everything. We can seriously say we had the perfect wedding. When I look back at the pictures and reminisce on the day all I can do is smile. I married my best friend and the day was full of pure happiness. I even look at pictures of myself from the wedding day and I think to myself that I have never looked that happy. Nic is my everything, he is now my husband, and below God he is my number one! The day I married him was truly and will always be the greatest day of my life. Our friends and family had a blast and the memories and stories could last forever. Special shout out to my parents for supporting us both and for giving us the world's greatest wedding :)
Now the HONEYMOON! I have a couple of words to say about this....CAN WE GO BACK YET?! There is nothing comparable than being on an island with your husband and having a week full of the most exciting romantic date nights and not a worry in the world. We loved St. Lucia! We relaxed by the ocean and pool, we went ziplining in the rain forest, we road horses into the ocean, we sailed around the island, went to a volcano, took a mud bath, snorkled, jet skied, and simply have the greatest time. We lost our luggage and we had flight delays on our way back but nothing could steal from the sweetness of the honeymoon!
Now for our jobs! Nic couldn't be happier with his job at Appalachian! He is coaching and it could not make me more excited to see him operating in his gifts. I know there are a lot of Nic Cardwell fans out there but I am surely his greatest fan! My husband makes me so proud and I am so happy for him! As for me...I had an interview the Monday I got back from the honeymoon and I got it! I am a school social worker for watauga county schools. I have 2 k-8 schools that I serve and I share the high school with another social worker. I get to work with some of my best friends and I get to insure the safety of the kids and families in our community everyday. It is a heart wrenching job at times but I am so blessed to be the hand that gets to reach out.
Our house is in order and Piper is growing big! Married life is sweet and we are embracing every moment we can. It is a journey for sure and still feels new after 3 months. And in reality I hope in 50 years it still feels just as new :) I am now Kira Cardwell and it couldn't feel more right!
I am also happy to be back to blogging :) Hope you enjoy!
