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
