I am really struggling with this waiting period between the here and the “what’s yet to come”. To put it bluntly, Mama’s just having a hard time waitin’. I’m not sure if it’s because of the fantastic counseling we’ve gotten that has allowed our hearts to know Jesus more in the midst of our struggle, which in turn, allows us to know and love each other more or if it’s just the tension of time that I’m feeling of wanting to be married to my best friend. And that’s what he is. It’s a wonder to be married to your best friend, and for some reason, the Lord saw fit that it could happen to us.
Perhaps another reason why Mama don’t want to wait no more is because I picked up our wedding bands yesterday and let’s just say we look hot in them. I’m so thankful for the day that is approaching where we will get to be called “each other’s”. Thank God for marriage, and thank the Lord for His mercy for this time of waiting.
Hey Grits. Just wanted to chime in and say that anyone could look hot in a wedding band, especially if that were all they were wearing. You better get some better counselors/accountability if you guys are chillin’ in just your bands. Geez.
Waiting…… the only wisdom I can give you is… IT’S SO WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These next 40 some days – I will be praying for you. But it happens so fast so take each day and make a memory to countdown your last days as just “dating.”
I am so happy for you both – and no one can deny what God has brought together and all the wonderful things He is yet to do through your marriage.
If you need to vent, from a recent bride to one that is in the throws of stress and anticipation – call me.
Love ya,
Carin

I just went by our apt. this afternoon and found your wedding invitation sitting on the bar. I am so excited for you guys and wish so much that we could be there! You guys are precious. I’ve missed seeing you since we’ve been in Eureka and hope to see you before the wedding. We’ll be back on campus soon. Love you!

As Mrs. Carter used to say, and I quote, “I will dance a jig at your Wedding????” Where did that colloquialism come from??? –You might want to check the spelling on that one!!!
