Having Fun in Puerto Vallarta
Hi all! Yes we are blogging on our Honeymoon, its fun with the amount of relaxing downtime we have. Yesterday we hung out in the Hotel, and today we did an outdoor adventure that included riding in a speedboat, riding a mule up a mountain, ziplining, repelling down a waterfall, ziplining into a river, and crossing suspension bridges. Here are some pics, enjoy! We miss yoiu and love you all!

1 Week til Completion
Reading the title of this blog you may be thinking "Weird". You may be misunderstanding the way I use completion. I am using it to reference completion of me. Once I am married to Lauren next week I will be complete. Sounds cheesy I know, but it is so true, spiritually, God is going to unite me to the woman that he created to complete me. Next Friday I will be one with my beautiful wife, whom I cannot wait to marry.
Looking back over my blog I laugh at the journey, all the things I have written over the past year or so, and hearing the change in my own words during that same time also. The growth that I have experienced over the past year is amazing, and none of it is my work. To try and boast in where I am today and what is happening in our lives next Friday would be to take credit for something that in my dreams I couldn't have forseen or planned for, something far too beautiful for me to have any part in creating. Lauren is such an amazing woman of God, and has the most amazing heart, I am thankful every second that I have her in my life, and that I get to marry her. I am so excited to become her husband.
Now for an update. We have finished just about everything. Tomorrow we move all my furniture into our apartment (well technically still just Lauren's apartment until next Friday), and I will be sleeping on my roomates couch in Plano, living out of a suitcase. We really don't have anything left to finish. We finished our Village pre-marital counseling a couple of weeks ago, got our marriage license last week, turned in all the numbers to the reception site, and now we just have to wait.
It's really hard to describe the excitement and anticipation I am feeling. I liken it to waiting for Christmas, already knowing the awesome present you will get on Christmas Day, but having to wait to open it. Except in this case it is the greatest gift of my life, and she will be walking towards me in a week. WOOHOO! After that we will also get to change the name of the blog to "The Hughes Blog".
Here is a pic of Lauren and I with Tim and Alicia Williamson last week at Tim's sister ,Lindsy's wedding. Tim is a groomsman in our wedding and their son Mark is one of our ringbearers. I also need to give a shout out to Mark since he is turning 3 today! Happy Birthday Mark Garrett!!
On a prayers answered note, my brother Beau is coming back from Sudan, Africa, today after being there for 18 days. We missed you brother, welcome home.
