GET MARRIED OR BUST!
Haha.
Seriously, I am so excited when I look at my planner this year. It's so neatly divided: first six months devoted to engagement, last six months devoted to marriage. By this time next year, my life will be completely different from what is now. I'll get to share it with the guy I love best in the whole world. How amazing is that? I can't believe that I've finally arrived at this part of my life where I really get to make this commitment, the one that will shape and define the rest of my life on this earth. That's no small thing, but I'm not really nervous about it at all. I am completely confident that we are honoring God with this decision, and that He will see us through, no matter where we go and no matter what life looks like on the other side. I know very firmly in my heart that I'm doing the right thing, and that gives me a very solid sense of peace and rest amid the pre-wedding craziness.
And believe me, it is craziness. I keep looking around at all the married people I know and thinking to myself, "Well, they survived. I guess that means we can, too." Lol. Planning, pictures, details, decisions, blah blah blah...not to mention all the other things in my life that kept me busy before this whole engagement thing happened. Whew. But I know we'll make it. :)
In the midst of it all, I've been going through some old memory boxes in preparation for making our scrapbook. Here are some blast-from-the-past pics I really like:
This one's from my sophomore year, not long before we started dating... (with his sister Ellen)
This one is also from back when we were just friends... (with my brother Dale)
Here's a bit of recent history, from my brother's wedding. I particularly like this picture because, well, we're dancing. It's cute. But more than that, it means a lot to me because Eric hates dancing. He was willing to get out there and tromp around simply because I wanted to do it. I'm very grateful that he is such a sweet and thoughtful guy.
So anyway, 2007 is going to be a great year. And the years to follow will be wonderful too, as many as the Lord sees fit to give us...
Happy New Year.

Jenny,
This is ann clary (I go to Cornerstone baptist Church). Have you two set a date yet? My husband and i got married on July 1st (2000). It was such a perfect time for us as it split the year right in two. Let us know when you have a date!

Hey Jenny,
I just heard the news! Congratulations! Being married is the most freeing feeling. I don't know how to explain it, but I just feel more free, more myself. I'll give you the advice my dentist (of all people) gave to me: Just enjoy eachother! Don't get bogged down in all that you have to do, prepare, plan. Just enjoy eachother!
Hope to see you soon!

Hey! I know this post has been up for a long time, but I didn't read it until today and I thought a comment now is better than none!
Your post has been very encouraging to me. I happened to be listening to the Bob song that Evan played at our wedding. That, combined with your words, brought some tears to my eyes. I am happy for you two! I'm glad that you are praising God through this time, and that you are looking forward to glorifying Him through your marriage.
Love you, and I'm glad you will soon be our sis! Ems
