oh my goodness. i'm a terrible blogger.
then again...maybe not......
unless you consider furniture rental enthralling, nothing much has happened since my last post! with a few minor exceptions, of course.....
after a lovely period of down time in which paul and i simply talked and dreamed of our future, enjoyed one another's company and visited our first drive-thru liquor store, things have picked up again in the past week. last tuesday, april 5th, i brought home my wedding dress. it is everything i could want it to be and more. i went to have my final fitting, and the seamstress did a lovely job. i could hardly take it off, and very well might not have if it hadn't been for fear of spilling panaera all down the front. it's living in my apartment with me now, and every time i look at it hanging on the back of my door, i feel pure happiness. it's as if the dress radiates through the linen bag, an unseen yet shining secret. only 95 more days until i get to put it on again.....
we spent this past weekend in minneapolis, visiting my new in-laws-to-be and their delicious new baby. i am so thankful for family, and seeing them has helped me realize how much i truly appreciate them, and you...the people who are constant and with whom love is always shared, regardless of the passage of time or distance between.
pre-marital counseling started yesterday with paul and my pastor. he is a riot, yet so pure and honest. i am so thankful that he is sharing his wisdom, perspective and heart with us as he helps us lay our foundation. we will be meeting every other week to with him and working together as well as independently to prepare ourselves for the road ahead. i think of the future, and all i can do is smile....
oh, and one last note...check your mail this week. you might just find a lil' something special from me.... :)
