Ruth Decker became Ruth Plater on Friday, July 18, 2008.
Ruth and Jordan's reception was very bitter-sweet for me. Sweet because my best friend is starting the happiest, most fulfilling part of her life! Bitter because I am not moving along in the same stage of life with her.
I know I will miss the times we shared, and the silly things we used to do, but life is about changes. Marriage is truly one of the most joyful changes in life. I have always suppressed any desire I had move into this stage . . . I don't wanna grow up! But seeing my best friend make that commitment - to truly grow up and start living life how it should be lived - has really inspired me.
Don't get the wrong idea! I am not marriage crazy, but I think I am more open for change now. I am open to the idea that life could take me down a path I don't expect.
For now, I am doing my best. Where that will take me, I have no idea. Marriage, a career, a mission . . . I guess we will just have to wait and see. The suspense kind of keeps life interesting though, don't you think?

Amy! That is the cutest dress ever! Where did you get it?!?
i love the pictures, and the fact that you wrote a blog :)
there is something about weddings, they always cause retrospectives. i'm glad you're not anti-marriage for yourself anymore.
I hope life takes you to great places, and that you will join me in mission prep this semester!! and if you found a lovely preemie to date and write and marry in 2 years that would be even better!!
I will miss our fun times too. But we can still have them...like tomorrow night!!
i love amy collyer...especially when she wears dark clothes and make up and eats the same banana all day and calls herself janice...guess what?!? i'll be there in 3 weeks!!
