Just a little busy...

So it's been a couple of incredibly busy weeks since I last posted. And now, here we finally are, just 40 hours from the start of our wedding. I can't believe it's almost here - I can't believe all the festivities start tomorrow.

What an adventure the past few months have been - I did such a poor job of chronicling everything! From getting engaged, to starting a new job, to studying incessantly for (and PASSING - I just found out last week) a really hard test, buying a house, renovating the kitchen, moving into a new house, training for (and making it to 4 miles) the Peachtree only to be sidelined by a knee injury and not be able to run it, to showers and parties and wedding planning and now to a wedding and a honeymoon in Aruba. Sometimes I have the misconception that I can do everything without going crazy and I definitely tested that recently. It turns out I can do everything - but not without stress, exhaustion, and sickness. But I survived and did it all. And I could not have survived without all the amazing people surrounding me who helped along the way with anything I asked for. Whether it was Randy or Emily at our house almost every night of the week helping us get the kitchen done, or my sister sewing my wedding dress and letting me borrow anything I might need, or wonderful friends planning such fun parties for me without letting me stress about any of it.

But most of all - I could not have done it without my Jesus. I have had to cling to Him so many days for the energy to conquer my To Do list. I had to rely on Him to help me recall all I had studied for the test and help me pass my third actuarial exam in a row. I've had to trust Him when things don't go perfectly as planned for the wedding. I've had to cry to Him when I was all alone in the house trying to finish everything I could before Kyle came home from Hawaii. Praise God for this time in my life - and praise Him for carrying me through it.

And in less than two days I'm about to marry the love of my life! God has brought us together, and I couldn't have asked for a better husband-to-be. We grew a lot the past few months too - although I don't know if I recommend buying a house and renovating it in the months leading up to your wedding :) We've conquered this huge project together (now don't start thinking it's ALL done - haha, it's not quite completely done yet, just mostly). But we've grown so much and could not possibly be more ready to get married.

And on that note... I WILL post some wedding/honeymoon pics eventually. And hopefully update more as my life has more free time.
