Hello there! I have been working what feels like a full-time job planning Matt's and my wedding! There have been a few road blocks and kinks we are working out, but I am either at the computer almost all day working on things, researching or driving places! Along with the wedding planning Matt and I are almost at the point of owning a house! Once that get's squared away we will be working non-stop on the house! On top of that, I am looking for a job. I have had two wonderful interviews with Germanna Community College so far, and I am really hoping to get a part-time job there! Needless to say, I have a lot going on right now.
Through it all somehow I don't feel stressed. I have my moments when things don't work right and I want to cry, but I hold it together and keep going. It's been good. I am blessed to have God's guidance and wisdom in His Word throughout the process, especially navigating things that are new...like being engaged and how that changes things.
I will share that, since Matt and I were courting, which meant we pretty much knew marriage was coming up...I don't feel I have to "work on" our relationship or how to handle things so much with him or in our relationship. We both have been "leaving and cleaving" since we've been together...so I feel like right now it's just the next step for us...it isn't a huge change...just what is natural for us to do now. Especially getting ready to buy a house! I feel so ready to work with him on that part and set up our home together. We know what we want because we've been talking about it for a while. There's no surprises! And that's what I wrote that I wanted in my journal when I was a young teen...I wanted to know the person I'd marry before I married them. I didn't want to have to get to know a deeper side of them, I really just wanted to leave the physical knowledge and living together habits to be the last thing I'd learn about him.
It's been busy and crazy planning a wedding, soon to be working on a house and looking for a job...but I know I am where I am supposed to be :)
