The greatest day of my life.

I have just come home from what I can honestly call the greatest day of my life. I'm sitting here in my living room, a bundle of tears and emotions. This day was the most perfect day of my life.

This morning, Chief and I renewed our wedding vows through participating in the Sacrament of Marriage. The ceremony was everything I wanted our original wedding to be: silly, beautiful, filled with love, personal, peaceful. It was the most perfect display of all that Chief and I truly are. One of my favorite lines, that our priest said, was "You two are so perfect for each other even your initials are the same!" I also loved when he said "The love you both have for each other is only from God, because it so perfectly displays God's own love. Your love for each other is God Himself."

Our photographer was seriously amazing. I am literally dying with anticipation to see the pictures!

Then tonight... Tonight Chief and I shared in the Eucharist for the first time. Even as I write this tears are filling up in my eyes. Our journey to Catholicism has been incredibly long, immensely painful, and filled with eager anticipation. Quite honestly, I have ached for my Beloved. I have ached so intensely for the very moment which came tonight, when His flesh and blood would be joined in my body. It was amazingly beautiful to see Chief anointed with oil, as we both were received into the Church. I can't even begin to explain the emotions flowing out of me. Chief said that after I received the Eucharist, I was smiling ear to ear, and completely elated. My Beloved is here. He's here in such a way that can never be denied. He is here in the way that I spent 29 years aching and searching for. He is here moving mountains, breaking barriers, and finally making sense. He is here where action and love and thought and deed all connect and the result is something so absolutely astronomical that I have only tears, and no words.

Today was a day filled with celebrating the two most important beings in my life. My two Beloved's: my Father in heaven, and my husband on earth. This day would have been immaculate celebrating either of those beautiful experiences, but on this day, on this amazing most awesome day, I celebrated them both.

I am the luckiest woman in the world.
