One Month

One month and I will be a married woman. How crazy is that? Where did the time go? Didn’t I just post that it was 100 days away…how did that become 30 days so quickly?

Let me just say that I am excited. Overwhelmed? Yes. Nervous? You bet. But definitely excited.

Last night we had our first pre-marital counseling session. We had to take an online test a few weeks ago…and let me just say we were so nervous that the pastor was going to tell us we were incompatible. But….much to our delight he said we were a very good match for each other! We talked about our strengths and “growth areas” as a couple and had some laughs…and some touching red-eyed-try-not-to-cry moments too (we held it together!). We left the pastor’s office feeling uplifted, happy, and excited for our marriage. We both feel that our pastor will help us create a wonderful and personal ceremony. The only problem is I think we both might cry through it….I just hope I’m not a blubbering hot mess. We’ll have to work on that one.

    This is such an exciting time! I am so happy that you are receiving counseling and working on establishing a strong marriage from the start. There will be lots of tears at your wedding, but that’s OK, they will by joyful tears.

    Love you,
    Mom
