And the Count Down Begins

I can't believe I am only a few weeks away from being married. I always thought it was dumb when people started counting down the days when they were still in the 100's but here I am only 23 days away! I am counting down, definitely!

Everything has really ran quite smoothly in the last two months or so. It ended up the event that took our place in the venue room we wanted got canceled, therefore we got it back which was a real blessing to me! I am so thankful for being able to get the room we originally wanted.

We now have everything set for the honeymoon. All we need to do is print off the paperwork! We have the dresses back from being altered. We have all the guys fitted for their tuxes. We have the menu set, a lot of decorations, a plan for the flowers, the music list, a place booked for the wedding night, all the invitations sent out and RSVPs already coming back in. We are still looking for a home but have decided we will rent before we jump into buying anything we may regret later. We know God will work everything out for us so it is not something we are worrying. He has worked everything out thus far, there's no reason to start doubting Him now.

People have been such a true blessing during this busy, exciting, stressful time. It amazes me how people I hardly know have stepped up and gone above and beyond to help me get things running smoothly. All I have had to do was mention an idea and someone steps up and says,"I can do that!" or," let me talk to so-and-so and see if they can do something..." A lot of it has been word of mouth. It all spreads like a wild fire!

The next time I post I will probably be a married woman! Pray for both me and Josh in the days to come because neither one of us know what to expect; in the days before the wedding and the weeks and months after we are married. I am so excited to be marrying the man God has created for me and I for him!


Until next time,

I have prayed for my son and his wife many times over the last 23 years. Even while still in the womb Jim Ed and I would declare his future and pray for his wife. Not till the July lake trip last year did I know for whom I had been praying. As Josh takes you to be his wife, We take you to be our daughter. Jackie you are perfect. God couldn't have done better if I had placed an order. We welcome you into our hearts, our life, our family. We love you. I can tell you and Josh what to expect. The best! You both are blessed of the Lord and are highly favored! In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths. Prov.3:6
