the end of an era
Caroline and the girls threw me a brunch on Saturday and it was really great. So, I just want to say thanks to all of you girls for that. It was very nice of you. The wedding is coming up in 6 days which is pretty awesome. Like I've been telling everyone, I just want to be married already. I'm looking forward to the day and to being with all of my family and friends.Marie is moving to a small town and becoming a mennonite (through marriage anyway)...
If you would have asked me in High School, I would be extremely surprised at myself. God sure surprised me with that one.
Jer and I stood in my apartment last night for the last time and thought about how much had happened since I moved in there July 1st last year. Even though parts of this year have been hard, it has been the best year of my life. I found myself standing there with him thinking about the big transition that our lives are about to take and I don't know if I have ever been so happy.
Judging from how much I've been crying before the wedding, I don't know how I'll do on the actual day! I don't think I've ever cried so many happy tears in my life!
God is good, and I have not deserved what he has given me at all. I think that's why I'm so teary. Because I know the incredible gift that I have been given. Now I understand why my life had to go the way it did up to this point...it has been a journey. A difficult, but necessary one and I've never been more thankful to God for everything than I am at this moment.
"...Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more"
