Happy 2 month-iversary...

Here starts the beginning of our blog :) We hope you will all enjoy being able to have a little sneak peak into all of The Richards Happenings. We are so excited about our new life together & look forward to sharing all our adventures with our family & friends.


Today we celebrated our 2 month anniversary of becoming Mr. & Mrs. :) Time seems to have just flown by. We can hardly believe that it's been 2 months since we said "I Do". What a beautiful day that was! We watch the wedding dvd's quite often & all of the emotions of that day start coming back. Seeing each other for the first time is something we will never forget. We find ourselves telling each other that we thought we loved each other then... but with each passing day, our love only grows stronger. What a beautiful gift from God!

This picture was taken moments after seeing each other for the first time.

Tonight we celebrated by... Jordan going to play softball, like he does every Thursday night (he LOVES it), while Jenna stayed home & cooked him a delicious dinner ;) We finished up dinner just in time to watch the Giants win World Series game 2!

Our first month of marriage was definitely a whirlwind... we had an amazing time on our honeymoon, it was so nice to get away & just relax for a few days. We made so many new memories, spent time at the beach, rented beach cruisers & went on a beautiful 5 mile bike ride. We also went to the San Luis Obispo Mission, we both really enjoyed being able to see that.

These pictures were taken at the infamous gum wall in downtown San Luis...

I told Jordan it probably wasn't the best place to take his germ freak wife ;)

Gorgeous view - Shell Beach

The beautiful cross outside of the San Luis Mission, it reminded us of the one at our ceremony.

Stopped for a quick pic on our beach cruisers :)

Then on September 1st, we got the call we had been dreading for months... Nanny had gone home to be with the Lord. It was such a mix of emotions for both of us. It was so hard to see her suffering like she was, but we were so sad to see her go. We sought comfort in knowing she was with our heavenly father & the love of her life, Poppy. 

"Knowing what I know about heaven, believing that you're all the way home. Knowing that there's somewhere better, is all I need to let you go. I could hope that I could pray you back, but why on earth would I do that? When you're somewhere life and love never ends, knowing what I know about heaven."

Life has continued to change each day since then... as life will. We are loving getting settled into our cute little house in "the city of action" aka Riverbank ;) Here are a few pictures of our house...

Isn't it cute?!

R for Richards :)

We love our new carpet!

One of our favorite decorations.

Love these!

On September 7th Jenna had a milestone birthday, turning the big 25 :) "Jordan made everything extra special. With the passing of Nanny only being 6 days before, everyone definitely needed a good dose of happiness. He was truly wonderful through it all." -Jenna

Headed to Dewz for Jenna's birthday dinner :)

In celebration of our 1 month anniversary we took a trip to the cabin... it is one of our very favorite places & was a much needed trip.

Family photo @ the cabin.

She adores him.

So curious about everything, she loved being able to roam around.

Emme's first time swimming...

Needless to say, she absolutely loved it :)

Looking out at God's beautiful creation.

We are so excited for all of life's adventures, especially because we know we'll be sharing them together.

Love,

J & J
