day two.

i am feel ambitious today.

and i don't know when i'll be able to blog again,

so i may as well get a head start, right?

day two is:

the meaning behind the name of your blog.

well. to be completely honest, i didn't know what i was going to call my blog when i first started it. my first post was called "introduction" which is a song by the beatles. and from that post is where it all started.

words of love. it what the blog became.

and since that time, every title of my posts have been named after a beatles song. if you didn't notice.

the song, words of love. was chosen for the title because that is what i want my blog to be. i want it to be full of words of love, of life, of laughter, of happiness. i want to do just like the song says and hold you close and tell you how i feel. i want to be honest. i want to be real. i know i don't have a lot of readers, but i want those that do read to leave my blog with a smile on their face and maybe brighten their day a little bit. i want you readers to know that i'm just me, a regular gal that loves life and wants to make it beautiful.

so, for those of you that do read.

i thank you and think that you are wonderful.

bless you.

xoxo.

please please me.

well. it's taken a while for me to get here,
but happy 100th post everyone.

to celebrate my 100th post,
I am going to start the thirty day blog challenge.
but i am going to tell you right now, that i won't be able to post everyday,
because we don't have the internet at our house.
not because i don't have the drive to do the challenge.

a love story.
about a girl named lindsey.
and a guy named mason.
who recently became one.

this is them.
in celebration of their new marriage.



and here they are with all the ones they hold most dear.



here they are with the ones that brought them up.





and here, with the friends that mean the most (including the one taking the photos).



thanks to everyone who was there to celebrate with us on the best day imaginable.
i'll post open house pictures soon.
until then...

here they are again. husband and wife.





now and forever.

to m.
you are the sun.
and there was no world.
til there was you.

xo.

i need you.

here are the pictures i promised you.

oh, how i love him.

photos by raeportraits.

across the universe.

hello world.

contrary to popular belief.

i.am.alive.

i have been out of commission for a little bit but it is only because i have this thing called a husband that i have to feed and take care of and stuff. no he isn't a baby, but i do enjoy taking care of him and loving him all the days and such.

well, let me catch you up on what is going down in our town.

we still live in af. we just can't get away. at least not yet. it is convenient since i work here, and that is why we are still here at the moment. we live in the upstairs of an old, old house. it's small, yet cozy. and very original and hard to decorate but we've tried to make it our own the best we can. i don't have any pictures or i'd post them. sorry.

our wedding was AMAZING. we had the most relaxed day. our families were all there. our best friends were there. our best wedding photographer was there. we ate great food. and just had a great time. and now we.are.one.

we went to the NYC for our honeymoon and stayed busy the whole time. it was a little crazy, but we didn't have all the time in the world, which we would have liked, but it's all good and it was simply the best. we saw m.'s favorite band play, saw the typical sights, saw phantom on broadway. spent a lot of time shopping. walked a lot. and i mean a lot. ate delicious food. and a lot of red velvet cake. and watched a lot of cake boss at the hotel. awesome.

we came home to a new bed. thanks to my parents. thank you very much! and i legally changed my name. hello l.k.p.! yay! the saturday upon our return was our open house, which was super fun and again, there was great food. and so much of it. if you didn't come, we're sorry you missed out on all the good food. if you feel the need to get some for yourself, go to braza grill in murray. you won't be disappointed.

well. let me end this post with this.

married life is the best ever.

waking up with that big bag of hunka hunka burnin' love next to me is wonderful.

making him breakfast while he shaves is the best.

listening to him write songs and him asking me to sing with him and being so happy that i did, is the cutest thing ever.

arguing about stupid things that then laughing at how stupid they are is hilarious.

him picking me up from work is the greatest way to end a long day.

making dinner together makes the food taste so much better.

cuddling with him while we sleep even though it's about a million degrees makes my heart so happy.

knowing that he is mine. forever. is bliss.

there is nothing better than being married.

alright friends. i've got a husband to get to.

xo.

linds.

ps. i took ten minutes trying to put up pics.

it didn't work.

next time.

proms guys.

penny lane.

i wish i lived on penny lane.

instead i live on center street in american fork.

and i no longer have internet access, which is the reason for why i have yet to post anything regarding the wedding.

but let me assure you that all is well and that 25 days from now,

i will be

lindsey porter.

hooray.

until next time my friends. send me your address or something.

and i will send you an invitation to my wedding.

much love. from me to you.

xo.

linds.

flying.

it's finally here. the day you've all been waiting for.

august 11.

m.pie and i will be one.
words cannot describe how excited i am.

as you may have guessed, the wedding plans are cruising along rather nicely.

of course, there are still about a million and a half things to do, but they'll get done. and everything will be simply lovely.

as for now, we've got to find m. a suit. and a ring.

until next time.

we're engaged. and you're great.

xo.

linds.
