Mrs. Nichole Murray

My oh my, what a ride the last few weeks have been!! Where do I begin??
Let's start with Jesse and Sierra arriving here in friendly and bitterly cold Manitoba. They made it through the horrible weather, and I couldn't have been more blessed to have them here with us! It was so good to catch up and spend some stressful but fun times together.

The Tuesday before the wedding I had an interview at the Steinbach Medical Clinic, I left the interview feeling a little bit disappointed, getting the feeling that I wouldn't be getting a full time job since Mr. Pauls felt it would be better to finish school. On December 18th, the day before the wedding I get a phone call saying I have a full time job if I want it! So I will not be finishing school, but starting a new full time job on January 5th! Sam and I could not be happier.

Now on to the wedding.. The day was fabulous! I was overwhelmed by all the support from friends and family, the day went off without a hitch.. (other than cake instead of trifle) :) Everyone made it down the dreaded stair case without tripping, and the bad weather held out just long enough. I was especially excited to see three full tables filled with friends from the Hill! By now it all seems like a dream, all the planning and stress is all done in a day. I am attempting to put some pictures on my facebook so be sure to check them out.

Our honeymoon was delightful, for our first night we stayed at.. oh my i'm drawing a blank.. a really nice hotel in Winnipeg. Sam's parents got us a theme room with a heart shaped jacuzzi and king size bed.. it was such a treat. After our first night we spent the rest of our time in a cabin in Big Whiteshell. We had the whole place to ourselves, but to be honest I never left the cabin.

And now we start our lives together. So far things have gone smoothly, it is obviously a little bit of an adjustment, learning to live together. We are still overwhelmed by all the support and prayers from our family and friends, and we are incredibly blessed to have all of them!
