I am back for another update. I have been neglecting it as my life has just gotten way too busy lately. I seem to repeat this pattern in my life...go, go, go then get burnt out. I am so thankful for work, I have just been more exhausted being sick. I'm ready for restoration of my body, heart, and soul. I am so thankful that our Lord is so good to not just leave us where we are, but deeply cares about requiring more holiness and providing what I need.
So I am officially on birth control as of this week along with all of the other prescriptions I'm taking. I'm not sure how to side effects coinside, but I have felt so unlike myself the last few days. My sweet cooperating teacher sent me home today to rest before going to work. I took a nap and had another bad dream about the wedding. I keep having these (number 3 now) dreams about being so busy that the wedding creeps up on me until the week before and then the day before and I feel like a failure. I'm so confused but so thankful when I wake up that it really is a dream. My goal for this week as far as wedding planning goes is Saturday, I want to talk to my sweet bridesmaids that have meant so much to me at different points in my life but I have not talked to in a while. I miss and care about them a crazy amount. I only wish that there was more time in our lives for people that we love. I am looking forward to a more redemptive schedule soon!
Cory came in last weekend and it was perfect! We both were so happy to see each other. It amazes me how different my life is when he is here. I long for the day (which is coming so quickly) that we get to share each others lives every single day. The weekend will not end, we will not go to seperate homes, and goodnight is rolling over. We are ready but I do see where the Lord is preparing both of us more and more for being who we need to for each other. When Cory came in last weekend, we went to this Bridal Registry thing that we got a call for saying we won a free vacation. We were worried it was a scam but we decided that even if it was, we just would lose an hour and a half's time. Basically we went, we won an amazing 2 night/3 day vacation and we are pumped!
We got some registering done too on Saturday! For any one who reads this that is married, did you register for a ton of stuff? I mean, seriously! We were just so worried about registering for too much! It was lots of fun though and a fun time to learn more about each other as we make decisions together. He is such a sweet and dear man. It amazes me how much I can love someone. I feel so blessed to be in a place of receiving love from someone in the same way that our Lord loves us. It's such a beautiful process! Love and grace are so real, so true, and so beautifully displayed! I am completely grateful that he's going to be my husband in 122 days!
We got word a little more than a week ago that Cory's brother Colt who is in the army right now over in Germany has officially been told that he won't be home for the wedding. That has been really hard news for everyone is his family and for Cory and I both. We wish he could be there so much.
More wedding news: I now officially have two showers scheduled!! I am thrilled and it still amazes me that people just want to buy things for you to bless you! So fun!!
I also have now officially decided on a wedding color----CLOVER! It's the color I've wanted all along!
If I change my mind now, too bad. It's going to be beautiful!!
We are in a great place right now and although we are seperated by a state, 6 hours, and busy schedules, we are so thankful to have the people who the Lord has in our lives right now for such a time as this. Community and felowship is what we are after with other believers and it's been so cool to see the way the Lord has provided that in our lives! I am humbled by His goodness and grace a million times a day
Well, I am off to have a cup of coffee on this cold, rainy day and then head to work soon!
