Christmas Time

The wedding is less than 5 months away. So much planning is still yet to be done. We still have to mail out the Save the Date cards as well as figure out if we are going to have a string quartet. We are planning on making a hair appointment for Monday for me so that we can decide how I want to do my hair, and I have yet to find a dress. Fortunately, even with all that weighing on our minds, I received the awesome news today that I passed my Praxis II graduation exams and as long as I do not fail student teaching I will graduate in the Spring! :)

Getting addresses is a lot more draining than I ever expected it to be. Every time I think we are done we think of more people to add to the list. We are so excited though to share this day with family and friends.

We also have had our first two premarital counseling sessions since I have been up here on break and we have a whole lot of questions that were given to us that we are supposed to discuss. Our pastor, Dave, has also recommended that we read several different books in preparation for marriage. We are so excited to be planning our wedding and seeing how God is working thing out in accordance with HIS will. Who else but God would be able to take my failing score of a 147 the first time I took my praxis exam for Severe Disabilities to it being a perfect 200 the second time? Our God is in control and we are excited to see how He is going to use us to further His kingdom through our marriage.

If you would, pray for us as we embark on this journey, that we would always allow God to lead us and not turn to our own selfish desires. We desire to please God in everything that we do. Thanks for loving us and praying for us!
