Just Georgia : Rome Could've Been Built in a Day.

Its currently 8 PM, 81 degrees and mostly humid. I love it.

I prefer the humidity at night way more than I do during the day. I don't know why. I feel so well rested in this moment. Not that today was restful, at all. Today, I cleaned the entire house, meal planned, and went grocery shopping. But something about this moment. All by myself, listening to the waterfall, music playing softly. It feels like the first true moment of rest I have had since before the wedding.

Boy, what a crazy couple of months. We got a date, ran into planning, got married, jetted across the country, rapidly set up our home and rushed into an insane routine. I can't believe I have already been married for over a month.

My mom always told me that Rome wasn't built in a day. I wonder how long it took to build Rome, and I wonder how much faster I could have done it. My mom would say this to me, because as soon as I got a project in my mind that I wanted to do, I wouldn't stop until I got it done. This month has felt like a day. I blinked, and the wedding was over. I took a breath and we had moved. I took a nap and I woke up here on our patio. Yet, every memory is so vivid and fresh in my mind. How did this happen? It took us 4 days to get across the country, 3 days to get the house unpacked, and then a blur of finding furniture and home décor that feels like it has finally just finished.

I guess building out home was a project I wanted to do and I was not going to stop until I was finished. Its just weird to make pancakes for breakfast and eat at the bar, instead of on our yeti cooler in the middle of a sea of boxes. We have bar stools! We have been so abundantly blessed by friends and family... We couldn't have built our Rome without everybody that decided to be a part of our lives.

Sitting here now, finally being able to reflect on everything that has happened, I am overcome with gratitude. Its so fun and exciting for me to pack Billy a lunch every day, to have beautiful dishes to cook and serve food with. Such lovely items all over our home, but to me they are so much more than items. Not a day goes by that I don't use something and say (out loud, I think it annoys Billy)

"So and So got us this!"

Our home was filled with love. Each item, each thing, holds so much value to me.

So I guess maybe even though we put together our home in what feels like a day, it was years and years of love that was poured into our home. We started building this place before we even knew each other. Rome could have been built in a day, if it had a team like the one William and I have behind us. I know this blog is shorter, but I want to wrap it up and spend time in the peace and quiet with my new husband!!!! It feels like we haven't gotten to spend much quality time together, just because of all the hustle and bustle.

Thank you to everyone who helped my parents with the wedding. Thank you to everyone who came to the wedding, who sent us gifts. Thank you to everybody back home. You guys are the reason we are where we are. I can't believe that I am married to my best friend, and waking up everyday in such an abundantly blessed environment. We love you guys, and I am a little homesick for the mountains <3 Stay tuned to my blog for further updates on this new adventure of becoming Wisor!!
