Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the King. 1 Peter 2:17

I am overwhelmed with excitement about being married to Michaela!
I'm ready and waiting with eager anticipation for our wedding day!
I'm very tired and ready for a vacation.
Lately, I think our lives have revolved around that one monumental day...May the 3rd. Two weekends ago I had my bachelor party with the boys and we packed and moved a bunch of Michaela's stuff in preparation for moving.
Last weekend Michaela had a bachelorette party and we had a couples shower in Wellsville and we packed and moved the rest of Michaela's things.
And this next weekend we have another couples shower and I'm packing and moving some of my things while Michaela is at work.
And all the weekdays in between are filled with long, busy workdays and RSVP cards or lack thereof and thinking a lot about being married and searching for the perfect ties for me & my merry men and writing thank you notes for our awesome gifts and looking at potential decoration arrangements and thinking a lot about being married and packing suitcases for leaving town after the wedding and talking with Mr. DJ, Miss Florist, Mrs. Photography and more. I think Michaela and I both have blurry vision right now because, the earth may be spinning on it's axis as normal, but the world we live in is spinning on a different axis at a much faster pace.
Three things keep us steady and grounded and wild with excitement.
1) Our love for each other grows every single day and I heard a sweet sappy country song that told me our love will grow exponentially so that we'll look back on this time and think about how we thought we loved each other so much, but it's only a small hint at the greater love we will share years from now.
2) Friends and family have been such a blessing. We have been amazed by people we don't even know offering help or lending what they have. And I look at our families and even extended family when we are with them and I think, "They are not mine anymore, and they are not hers anymore, this is OUR family."
3) Prayer. When I pray about the wedding or for our marriage, I’m always encouraged. Even when I feel like I’m not doing the fiancé thing correctly and I don’t know how to be a husband and head of a family, I still feel a calming presence and I keep hearing a truth spoken that doesn’t come from within me: “you are about to open up a vast expanse of possibilities; the best is yet to come.”

You stay classy bloggers. And thanks for stopping by.

Good morning. I haven't updated in a while and thought I would check in. We are down to final dress fittings, putting programs together and deciding on vows! I cannot believe it. When Evan asked me to marry him in October I thought May seemed so far off...and now it seems so close. :) Soon I will be Evans' wife, and I will have a husband. What a fun time of life!
