I walked out of the bathroom the night we got married and saw my new husband on his knees by the bed praying.
My instant thought...I married the right one.
The first day on our honeymoon Ryan asked me if I'd like to go through the book Song of Solomon together and listen to a podcast each day that Tommy Nelson did on each chapter. At night we would read a chapter together and in the morning have our coffee and listen to the sermon. By the end of our honeymoon, week one of being married, we had read a book of the Bible together.
I know...I married the right one.
Each morning Ryan reminds me that he loves me, that he thinks I am beautiful, and is so grateful I am his wife. I feel loved from the minute I wake up.
I know...I married the right one.
The night before Ryan was leaving for his first work trip since we've been married, he went out to get us ice cream and came home with that AND a bouquet of flowers that I can have to look at while he is gone. He has brought me flowers consistently every month since he started pursuing me over a year ago. It still surprises me and makes me feel special.
I know...I married the right one.

As I sat with the girls in my community group last night and gave them a brief update on life I realized, and shared with them, that we've been married less than three weeks and I have read 3 books in the Bible. That's a book a week, and more than I've read in the past each week. This has happened because I watch Ryan daily get into the Word. Waking up to your husband at his desk reading his Bible, and in free time he'll go and get into the Word is so awesome! Seeing him lead out in this has encouraged me and helped me to be more diligent in my time with the Lord.
I know...I married the right one.
I know we are in our "honeymoon phase", but I love being Ryan's wife, and the way the Lord is growing me already. I thank God that I put the crosshairs on godliness and ended up marrying the right one. He makes me fall more in love with him and Jesus.

Can I just say that I am SHOCKED that someone Anonymously (being the key word) commented on this post of joy and God's "good and pleasing and perfect will" over Ally's life in a negative way. Wowzers! Thanks for sharing His provision of a strong, joyful, marriage where you are each lifted up by each other and each other's walk daily! Thank you also for reminding us that God creates beauty from ashes and oh how beautiful it can be! Love ya Ally!
