So…
The tickets are booked!
A Three-Part honeymoon adventure awaits.
First our lovely spot at this little oasis on the Oregon Coast http://www.archcapeinn.com/
Then, off to explore our adventurous side at this little place
Grand Californian Hotel at California Adventure
Then off to wherever we will be living to finish off our honeymoon in our new home!
With all of this to say, thinking about the future together hasn’t always been the easiest road. Like all married couples (well…most), Tim and I come from different families. This plays such a huge role in why we love each other- and why we can get on each other’s nerves.
The future sounds great: wedding, honeymoon, marriage, a life together with no more goodnight/goodbyes… but really the logistics are getting to me. I am tired of applying for jobs- and have yet to find one! Tim and I are working out what it will mean to live as a married couple financially- and all of this tends to weigh on me. I feel like I’m behind in school work, behind in wedding planning, behind in bettering my health and fitness, and behind in my relationship with God. This all is so draining. I just need my Jesus. As I am typing (what I like to call “verbally processing”- I am recognizing that all of those areas are OK to lack in- all except One. I need more God. I need hope again. I need life. I need the Lord to carry me, to challenge me, to remind me of who I am as a daughter of the King…
SO as I look forward to August…and all that comes along with it, I also look to now, into myself to find where I have been stashing God away for when He is convenient. I will leave this post with this: Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ…. not even ourselves. That is hope in itself.

Oh how I remember that feeling! Make sure you and Tim have good quality time together at LEAST once a week where you don’t talk about the wedding or details of getting married (finances, living situation etc…). We had to be really intentional about this other wise you get so caught up in the wedding that you forget to enjoy the very busy, very full, very sacred present. You’ll never get to be engaged again; it’s so fun. Enjoy :)!!!
