Wow, we're halfway there!


As of this past Wednesday, Jason and I have 4 months to go until we are married. Since we got engaged in November, this almost marks our halfway point...that halfway point between deciding you were "meant to be" and actually "being." :) We have begun the duty of bridal registries...We are currently registered at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, Target, and "somewhat" registered at Dillard's.
(I'm still working on that one...) There are a lot of details to planning a wedding!

I'm not sure I have at any other point in life ever learned more about life, love and relationships than what I am learning right now....I guess that would seem to go without saying, but I am amazed at what I have learned of the love that God has for his church through Jason's love for me. Maybe some will roll their eyes, but I am really learning what TRUE, godly love is! True love is TOUGH! True love is wonderful...True love makes you cry...True love makes you laugh...True love makes you feel a part of someone else...True love is sacred...True love is not "butterflies in your stomach" more than it is that restful peace in your soul...

Thank You, Lord, for this love....Your love for me, and his...!
