One month

Holy guacamole today marks one day until THE day!! I cannot believe how fast these last 6 months have flown by,and I cannot wait for the next 31 days to fly by!

I kept thinking that this whole planning a wedding thing was SUPER easy, like anyone is crazy to be stressed, broke or an emotional wreck. Well.... I am all 3 of those things now, I am pretty sure that there is not a day that goes by that I dont want to throw up, cry or just be alone in a closet. Not to say I dont want a marriage to Matt, I really really really do. I just dont care about a wedding, and I also am in need of a magic moving fairy who will move all of my things into Matt's without disrupting either of our lives... hahahah doubt that will happen. ANYWHO... I am working on calming down and I do know that eventually all of this will seem funny and I will be pleased with how things actually happen, so, hurry up June 11th I am very ready to meet you!

I am also wrapping up my first semester at Willow Bend and am very pleased with how things have turned out. The big guy upstairs really does have a wonderful plan that we can't always see, and for that I am thankful.

Adios amigos...

May is here, 41 days until the big day

So May is officially here, and it is 47 degrees in Lubbock. Not quite what I expected when I got up for church!

Yesterday I had my bridal portraits with our wonderful photographer, Linda Schilberg, she did such a great job of helping me capture this time and all of the emotions I have. It is such a surreal feeling to be in my dress and for people (strangers) to congratulate me.

We met this week with the Pastor who will marry us and it just affirmed to me that I have found my "person." I am so very blessed to have found the person that God created just for me, Matt complements me and is going to be a great spiritual leader for our family! We hope that when people leave our ceremony they understand how important we are to each other and how important Christ is to both of us and how we would be nothing without him.

We are nearing the end of our engagement time, and I am actually beginning to be thankful for the time we had to be engaged and prepare for our marriage. I have tried very hard to not think about preparing for a wedding but a marriage instead. I want a wonderful and strong marriage, the wedding day is important but forever means so much more to me.
