New design

I really have nothing to say today but just that I L-O-V-E the new blog look! I found this cute background and I love it. 128 days to go...unbelievable!

As I lay here in bed, i struggle with having a clear mind. All of these wedding thoughts rushing through my mind. I keep wondering if I will ever be decisive about anything at all! At work tonight, I waited on two couples who were both engaged and having destination weddings! Doesn't that just seem like such a more delightful task?!

Making decisions on everything from birth control to bed spreads to boy's tuxes right now. Although it can often be frustrating to talk about so much planning and not come up with any clearer direction on an answer, it's totally going to be great! I'm just ready to be married to him! Cory and I talked on Skype tonight, which is definitely a life saver for us when we're 6 hours apart. The connection was bad, but we got to talk and see each other for a good while! It was lovely..thanks for providing that Laura :)
Cory and I are going through "This Momentary Marriage" together by John Piper. If you are engaged, it's the top most recommended book to me from people I respect and now, it's the only book I recommend after reading through many of the chapters. It's so challenging and so practical about the foundational truths of marriage and what it is to mirror. The last few days when I just have stopped and thought about the Lord's grace, it amazes me! I'm so thankful and so blessed to have Cory in my life and to be sharing in truth with him. I'm really excited to be going through the book together!

My mom and I are going to doing some planning together on Tuesday night. I'm hoping that this is productive and we can get more stuff nailed down! I'm also hoping to get some stuff done tomorrow although I'm not sure what I'd rather do more...wedding & marriage plan or relax and enjoy this wonderful MLK day?
Maybe both. Hm I need to write lesson plans, too. This has basically been a pretty boring blog experience but it is a little journal of today! More later and hopefully more entertaining things later

:)

Lots to do!

I feel like it's really just been the last few days that I've realized how much I have to do within the next few months, but instead of allowing it to overwhelm me, I have been productive. I'm hoping this continues :)

It amazes me truly that in a little over 4 months, Cory and I will be happy newlyweds, I'll have graduated college, and become a Texan. So many changes to look forward to and prepare for!
We are getting our guest list together currently, which brings on the reality of so many things. It excites me so much when I'm putting these names together how fun it's going to be if even a third of these people show up!

The last few weeks I've really stressed out about the wedding wanting everything to be "perfect" (whatever that means) but as we are getting closer, I'm just realizing to take it more lightly. I am just thankful to marry him and start our lives together! The Lord really has done so much in my heart as I have reflected lately on all of the things that He has done for us individually and together in our relationship. He is faithful and is good to put my mind into His perspective.

We now have 139 days left! I need to go take down a link from the paper chain... I love that thing!

New Blog!

We are starting our blog, hopefully off right! We'll see how much time it takes before I write the next one :)
