Days Away

Well the big day is almost here...8 days away! I really am so excited about the wedding, but I cannot wait for it to be over. I know that probably sounds bad, but all this stress and anxiety is killing me. My parents sold my bedroom furniture and we moved it all yesterday. This probably sounds crazy, but it made me cry! I have had this furniture since I was a little girl, and it is kind of bitter sweet that it's gone. We move OUR furniture in tomorrow, and I am very excited about that. I had to put my alarm clock on a box last night! I also have the last of all my parties tomorrow night. It is the big one...the Bachlorette Party. My sister-in-law, Rachel, is hosting the party, and she has guaranteed me that there will be plenty to be embarrassed about. After that party, I will be heading to spend the night with 16 6th grade girls. Keith is in school to become a youth minister and is currently working at our local church as an associate to youth ministries. Each year our church hosts what we call BLAST WEEKEND. It's a big ordeal that involves all the kids spending the weekend together and racing derby cars at the end of the big event. It just so happens that our wedding falls the weekend after this exhausting but wonderful weekend. I will be spending the weekend with my Sunday School class...the 6th grade girls, and will be lucky to get 12 hours of sleep the whole weekend. It sounds like I am complaining, but I am really not. The main goal of this weekend is to bring in kids from around the city and introduce them to the Love of Christ. So, please keep this in your prayers. Another big day comes on Monday...it's Keith's birthday. He will be 23 years old. I have a special gift for him...but it's secret. It is so hard to believe that in 8 days I will be his wife, but I definently could not imagine spending my life with anybody else...I know it sounds sappy, but sometimes the truth is.

Well, that pretty much sums up the wonderfully busy weekend before our wedding!!!

God Bless
