Mr and Mrs Kellum
Years ago, back in my college days when growing up and realizing all my dreams seemed so urgent…… I was not doing well in school and about 3 years in at UGA, I think I was failing most everything and I still wasn’t sure what I was doing. I felt like I was sinking and all my opportunities were passing me by. I was just about ready to drop out and a good friend told me some simple, yet at the time, very profound words. “Amy, it’s never too late.”
It’s true. I found what I was looking for and finished school. Took me a little longer than most folks, but it wasn‘t too late.
Those words and that sentiment have stuck with me through the years. Anytime, I have felt overwhelmed or lost , those words pop into my head and I remember how much truth they hold.
Never have they been more powerful than recently. Without even realizing it, I had decided that all the girly dreams I had(but of course would never admit to) about true love and soul mates were just not for me. It was WAY too late to find that kind of deep, lasting and unconditional love. That was the kind of love for young people with no children. Love would be different for me. Practical and sensible and without a doubt… on my terms. Oh my goodness was I wrong and once again, I heard those words.
I met Dave in February and that changed everything. At 37, I met the man I thought didn’t exist and on November 20th we were married. I am blessed beyond what I thought was possible. Each day I think about how fortunate I am for the amount of love that flows back and forth between us. Sometimes I feel like it’s impossible to love this much….. until the next day when I love him more. It is truly a most beautiful miracle. And I am so eternally grateful that he showed up in my life, right on time.
Thanks so much to all our family and friends who made our wedding day perfect. And shout out to Amber for the great photos.
