The wind is blowing into my room and flirting with my wedding dress as it hangs in it's bag on the back of my bathroom door. Today is sunny and just warm enough to leave the windows open but keep a light sweater on. The aspen trees outside my slider are singing to me, they sound like when the waves roll back over a stony beach. It is breathtakingly gorgeous outside right now. The air is so crisp and cool I feel like a bi-plane ride is in order.
The Lord has so blessed me with a man who loves so strongly and passionately. Justin is working as a manager at Pizza Factory for a while and that has been a huge blessing. We are very much enjoying our engagement. I am relishing every moment I have with him while he is home from work. We are really enjoying our premarital counseling with Ryan and Christen and working toward our marriage together.
Wedding planning is coming along very well. We have been tremendously blessed with many very generous gifts to help us on our special day. I still wake up with him on my mind and he still holds a hand out in expectation and anticipation for mine everywhere we go. I am continually overwhelmed by the love and blessing of this man.
Last week I was reminiscing on how far we have come in our relationship. I thought about all of the things we have been through together and how I still know so little about the creature that is this man of God. I still feel like he is so far out of my league, but rest in confidence of his love knowing he only feels the same way about me. I see God in ways I have never known before because of Justin, and my hunger for the Lord has become more consuming. We laugh till our sides hurt, we cry when love wells in us and presses against our eyes.
I start work back at the Cool Bean Cafe on Friday morning. I am so excited to start a new journey there. I cannot wait to see what God has to say and do. I am really enjoying the company of my family today. We have almost the whole gang here tonight. Also, if you think of it, be praying for Angie and the kids. I miss her so much it hurts. Well, my fiance is home from a long day at work and pre-wife duty calls!
Enjoy this fall weather, fall in love.
