A Dream Honeymoon

OUR HAPPILY EVER AFTER
Greg & I met back in Chicago, Illinois in March of 2011. Our love story was a beautiful one. We knew right away that this was different. It almost didn't feel real. We moved in together after just weeks of dating, adopted Sadie within 6 months of dating, and continued to grow as individuals but also as a couple. When Sadie turned 1 we adopted Honey. Our family of four was all we needed...except it wasn't. We felt as if we were at a stand still. We craved some type of adventure. A new start. So we did something about it.
Fast forward to 2013 when we decided to leave everything we knew behind and move to Colorado. This was the best decision we have ever made but at the same time one of the hardest. I hated being away from all I've ever known: my friends, my family. I knew though, that this was the right move for our family and for our health and happiness. Since moving out here we have experienced so many new things together, visited so many beautiful places, and faced many fears. We have gained amazing friends, we are both happy with our careers, and most importantly we have found a love for Jesus. Greg & I were baptized in January of 2015 and we have never looked back. We have gained an amazing church family, and a new sense of strength. I truly believe that every single thing that has happened in our lives has led us here.
As most of you know, weeks before I met Greg he lost his Mom unexpectedly. This is something that has weighed heavily on our hearts for almost 5 years now. We tried everything we could to heal from such a tragedy. Some were healthy, but most were not. Seeing Greg at rock bottom I knew we needed a change. That is what sent us to Colorado. Through friends that we have met here (and amazing family that encouraged us) we have found God again. Out of everything we have tried to heal...nothing has given Greg (and myself) the strength to get through each day like the love of our Father. I am so proud of all of the lifestyle changes that Greg and I have made since making this move across country. One of the scariest things we have ever done, was also the most rewarding. I thank each and every one of you that has helped us through our tough days. Who answered our calls when we were at our weakest. We wouldn't be where or who we are today without each and every one of you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Friends, strangers, whoever is reading:
We decided to do a GoFund Me page because we have to pay for our wedding ourselves. We were able to save every dollar, every penny. We are getting married at the Red Rocks. This is really important to us because when we first came out to Colorado, we got off the plane and went directly to the Red Rocks. I remember getting out of the car and seeing this beautiful scene right in front of me. It was unlike anything we've ever seen. We looked at each other and we just knew, this was going to be our new home. We took every dollar in savings and we packed our bags and we made the move. We knew that we wanted to get married here because it was where our life truly began. We were able to pay for the ceremony, and a small reception at our church. The only thing we will not be able to afford is a honeymoon. We both work so hard, we never have time to even think about it really. Now that it is 3 months away, it is dawning on us...wow. We aren't going to be able to celebrate all this hard work. We don't need anything fancy. All we want is to get away, turn off our phones, and enjoy each other. No work, no troubles, no stress. We don't really understand why we are making this page. Why would strangers pay to help us go on a honeymoon? All I know is that ever since we have been saved we know that there is kindness out there. People do have the hearts, and the ability, to see good. To do good. To change someones life. To change our life.
We appreciate you taking the time to read our story. Whether this works, or it doesn't, I am just blessed to call Greg my future husband. Whatever we do, or do not do, we will be okay because we have each other.
Thank you!
