I'm getting married!

I still can't believe that I am getting married! It is such a crazy thought that in just a few short months I am going to experience a whole lot more of REAL adulthood! Things like buying our first house, moving to a new state, paying ALL of my own bills, making dinner and cooking on a regular basis, etc. are just a few of the many new changes that will be taking place.

Exciting. Nerve-wracking. Anxious. 

I can't help but get emotional from time to time when I think about my mom not being there to watch Andy and I get married. It's sad thing to think about, so I try not to let myself. When I'm having a hard time with decisions about wedding venues, photographers, color palettes and all the little details that go into planning a wedding I really start to wish, now more than ever, that she was still here.


I can't complain though. God has provided me with a handful of people who have stepped up to fill my mom's shoes. God is faithful to supply. He restores what was lost. He is good and everything that I need is in Him.

Praising. Trusting. Praying.
