a thought on marriage...

As the day of my wedding gets closer, I grow more in awe of what a beautiful thing marriage is and how amazing it is how God draws 2 different people together and empowers them to live victorious, fulfilled, useful lives in ways that they could not have been had they continued as individuals.  Everyday I get more excited and the anticipation builds as I look forward to July 9th (68 days in case you were wondering).  It is going to be a grand adventure and I cannot wait to start forever with my best friend.

A lovely Resurrection Day!

Today has been such a full, fulfilling day.  It's fun to look back through the events of the day and see how God orchestrated everything.

The plan was to make Chicken Makhani and na'an (how traditional, I know) after church and eat with Shannon and Heather.  As I was gathering ingredients from my house to drop off at Robert's on the way to church, I realized I was missing 3 ingredients.  So I rushed to the store and then to Robert's to put stuff in his fridge and was only 5 minutes late to church.  I ended up sitting 2 rows from the back and I noticed this couple sitting behind me.  I figured they were hikers, judging by their clothes, and at the end of the service, I had this crazy idea (ok, most likely not my idea) to invite them to lunch.  They have been married for 4 years and are from Rhode Island.  They are hiking the whole way up to Maine.  We had such a great time, the 6 of us, talking and learning about each other and hearing each other's stories.  

Then, Robert and I actually did what we said we were going to do this week over spring break...We got our invitations stuffed and all ready to mail!  Hooray!  After being such a process it is hugely gratifying to see those puppies done and ready to go.

Such a satisfying day.

The Sound of Music

We are right in the middle of our big Spring musical, The Sound of Music.  We have had great audiences the last 2 nights and are looking forward to finishing strong with our final 2 performances tonight and tomorrow
afternoon.  Everyone in the show is doing such a great job.  It has been a great experience.

I took a few pictures of the mansion set yesterday.



Working on Wedding Fun!

A few weeks ago, Anneke hosted an afternoon of working on my wedding stuff at her house.  Our goal: put the stickers on the wedding favors and stuff the confetti pouches.  


Marcail was a very good helper and was so happy to be involved.  






Great stuff!  Biodegradable confetti!  All you have to do is hose it off and it completely dissolves without leaving any residue!  We sewed it into little pouches that the guests will be able to rip open when it's time to toss it on Mr. and Mrs. Jessup.  :)
