3 Years ago today, Sam and I were two long distance, dating love birds. These pics are from the first time he flew out to see me. It was so dreamy and it was also the last New Year's we spent together. Each year since then I've either been out of state in CA or he's been working. Can't wait to finally kiss him when the clock strikes twelve this year. Call my cheesy, I don't care. I'm getting my kiss. ;) SO much has happened since these pictures. It's been a whirlwind of love. Here's to the future and enjoying the moments in front of us.

I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas! I can't wait to tell you about ours. It was amazing... :) What are you planning on doing for New Years? Are you going out? Staying in?
What a beautiful couple you are. :) We're staying in and very much looking forward to it. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your hair!!!! I have curly hair also, Are there any products you recommend? :)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely that you'll get your midnight kiss!
ReplyDeleteWe're staying home, just the 2 of us, to have a BBQ then we'll take a bottle of wine to share down to the beach & watch the fireworks.
We've only got 10 hours & 43 minutes to go here in Australia!
Celebrating our 2 year anniversary!! :) I love Love
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, IN the city we were married and fell in love!
ReplyDeleteI love California :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like I'm staying in tonight! TV, music, good food, midnight painting... It's going to be good!!!
ReplyDeletePS: Your hair wrap is insane! I love it! I can't believe how thick it is! Did/does it hurt your scalp? I have really thin hair, so I have to keep mine thin and light, otherwise it kills!
my husband and i eloped six years ago this january, and we've only been together for two of our new year's eves. so i totally understand about getting that kiss! :) this year he's got to work, and it'll just be me and my two boys...who will probably be asleep!
ReplyDeleteOk, this is so sweet! My husband and I were long distance lovebirds too and I know how sweet it is to finally share all the moments together IN PERSON not just on the phone lol! You guys have a FABULOUS new year!

Jess please come back. I check in here every day and I miss your posts.
ReplyDeleteLove Jem.
Love this post!
ReplyDeleteMy friend tuned me into your blog with "tears are a language" and it was such a refreshing and beautiful cathartic experience for me just to read and I truly admire and just love you, dear sister!
ah! ... tears ARE a langugage... for me too, a language of expression, sorrow, joy, brokenness, rage at injustice and the evils in this broken world, my response to beauty, and just an expression of worship more often then not at the goodness and greatness of the Grace of God.
Your life-story is so beautiful and i loved watching the clip I found somewhere on here of your wedding day! It's so cool to see you both writing your story and it being a part of His story!
and gives me hope,
I just got home from India a few months ago. My love is still there doing mission work and we don't know anything about anything about our future but long distance has been and may still be a part of it and it's hard.
But oh so worth it.
and he is the one I want to write a story with.
So, yeah all that to say, this is SO sweet and so glad you got to spend new year's together! And thank you for sharing your story! <3
here is another amazing story of His amazing grace, this girl Jess I met in India a few years ago, this is the story of her and her husband and a beautiful baby boy they adopted from India... but it's so much more than that:
