My sister Tonya was married in August and I had the distict pleasure and honor of being in the wedding as well as taking the pictures. I love you Tonya and but I will NOT be doing that again! It was fun but also incredibly stressful! I did love being part of and capturing her day. Tonya and I were both incredibly blessed to be made family through living with my Aunt Nancy and Uncle David. David gave us both away at our weddings. He is quite happy to have finished with the giving aways :)

One Year Ago...
He asked me to be his bride...
And 10 months ago....
It happened.
"Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”(Mark 10:7-9 ESV)
I thank God everyday for every day that has been a part of this last year, and every thing that God worked to bring us together. What a ride so far!

Emotional Moment
So as anyone who has read this blog knows it is Wedding Week for us. I am so excited!!!
Yesterday came a moment that I didn't totally expect, I guess over the past 16 years I had thought that I would be emotional about this aspect of my wedding but since we have been engaged I hadn't felt lacking in this area so it hadn't happened yet. Well yesterday it happened...
Let me start with this scene from the movie stepmom... it has always made me cry, now to be fair I am a crier anyway but this scene has special meaning as I have known for the past 16 years that my mom will not be there on my wedding day. As she has not been there for many other special days.
So here's what happened, yesterday I was sharing with Chris more about a conversation that I had with my dad last week. I had been trying to contact him since our engagement and was finally able to get a hold of him the day after his birthday. I didn't think he would be able to be here but I did want him to know that I am getting married. I do love my Dad and hope good things for him even though he has not been a part of my life through my adult years(but that is all quite another story for another day).
When I was talking to my dad and sharing that we were engaged on the 18th and getting married on the 18th he shared with me about when he and Mom got engaged that she wanted to get married on a 29th, the month didn't matter it just had to be a 29th and so they looked at the calendar and the 1st 29th was September. So that is the date they set. The 29th was a special date in my mom's family b/c it was my Grandparents anniversary and my Grandma's birthday are both on the 29th but I had never put the significance together.
As I was sharing this I started telling Chris that there are things that I wish I had known at 13-14 to ask my Mom. Things that she would have told me I am sure but neither of us knew there wouldn't be time to ask later. Things like what her pregnancies were like, and specifics about her wedding. Just those things a Mom can share. When I shared this I started crying, I wasn't expecting it but it came. Please don't hear what I am not saying, I am SO thankful for the amazing women that God has given me in my life who do share these things with me, but there is a part of me that still does miss hearing those things from her.
She loved us so much and wanted so many things for her kids. I was talking to someone a few days ago about losing my mom at a young age, they said to me there is no reason a child should lose their mom. I don't feel that way. God knows the plans He has for us. And His plans are GOOD. He has had an amazing plan for me, and I am so thankful for the person he has created me to be. I am the person I am not inspite of losing my mom but because of it. I believe that walking this beautiful road has made me more compassionate and loving towards others even when they may not always want it. I know how precious life is and I am so grateful for the life God has given me even the tough stuff. All the love that my Mom gave us is stored up and it is as much a part of me as everything else.
I think the crying suprised me because my life with her was so far removed from my life today. Although it is part of who I am missing her is not something I think about everyday.
Well I thought it was fitting to share a picture of my parents on their special day all those years ago...
you can also read more about her Here and Here.
Just as a side note I am SO SO SO Excited about the new "Mom" I am being blessed with. Chris' family is awesome and I am so thankful that God is giving them to me.
I wanted to remember this experience so I figured putting it here preserves the memory for me.

Single Digits
YAY! :) We are in the single digits till the wedding and things are looking great!
I haven't really been stressed throughout this process, YAY for short engagement.
I was told part of it is that I am task oriented too, I like checklists and marking stuff off so I have been looking at my list and making sure that things are checked off regularly. (I was also told this is probably why they like me at my job... I don't like leaving things undone... well something I guess.)
I am so excited for Family to start coming in (his and mine) in just a few more days and to get to enjoy time with them and the activities of the week, but oh so much more excited to be his wife :)
For the rest of this week we will be celebrating graduation!!! Can't believe Miss Sohpia is finishing her 3rd year here and graduating!!! So excited to celebrate with her, but also a little sad to see her go back home.

1 MONTH!!!!
So crazy that it is 1 month since we got engaged AND 1 month till we get married. I am so excited!!!
Planning has been going really well, I am amazed at how so many things have just fallen into place and so blessed by how supportive so many have been about the shortness of our engagement.
Honestly, I am so amazed at how God's hand has been on every aspect of this!
So many things are checked off the checklist and I really don't feel stressed about things just excited and ready for it to get here.
So here are a list of things that are done!
