Honeymoon

Since Nathan first proposed, everyday has become a new adventure. Who would have thought planning a wedding would be such tedious work. We have thought of almost everything right down to what kind of table clothes we will have at the reception. We have been dreaming and wondering however where our honeymoon will be. After alot of thought, we decided not to go to Rome but instead save that for a later date. Instead, we have booked a cruise to the Caribbean. It is something that neither of us has ever experienced and it will be wonderful to do during our first week as a married couple.

It is odd however knowing that we just reserved a place with only one bed. Unlike many dating and engaged couples, we have never spent the night together. This is something that we have always found to be very special and have reserved it for marriage. I will admit that during long and drawn out movies I have often times fallen asleep on him, but what a peaceful and comforting feeling it was to wake up in his arms only 20 minutes later. Just getting a glimpse of how beautiful that feeling is has helped me to cherish it and look forward to what is to come.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we journey closer to the vocation that God has called us to.

Wow!

This is hilarious!

Yard Sale

This morning we took out all of our once prized possessions, put stickers on them, and have been allowing people to buy our stuff. All of these things that have brought us closer to society's materialistic ways are being placed in unknown cars and driven away. With a simple exchange of a couple of quarters, the unused clothes that I have been hoarding "in case I ever needed them" are being put to use in someone else's house. It's a good reminder of how materialistic we, as human beings, can be. Occasionally we need to let go of our possessions and live more simply. As I prepare to move out of the house next year I am slowly going through these worldly possessions and realizing what kind of life I want to live.
