The ball is rolling


God is good : ) That’s all I can say. Joel and I have been engaged for 22 days now! We decided to get married in March as a leap of faith. We both knew God wanted us to be married but, we didn’t know when. So, we went ahead with March....when we started out the planning of the wedding we had nothing money wise to contribute, which was a bit scary because we had no idea how we would pull it off in just a 7 weeks!! Well, God knew what He was doing! We didn’t have to understand...but He has provided for us sooooo much over the past couple of weeks with people who support us, finances,  and good attitudes (from the most part).

With every day that passes I get more and more excited for our wedding day and that we’ll build a life together. Wedding plans are falling into place nicely. Money has come in from friends and family which has been a huge blessing. Our honeymoon is what we are unsure about. We would like to spend three nights at a luxurious hotel, and then go off on our way either camping or some sort of road trip. We understand that if a honeymoon isn’t in the books then that’s OK but, we are trusting our Father to provide for us in this too. We are registered at a website called HoneyLuna.com where friends can donate to honeymoon expenses. It’s really neat. So if giving gifts towards our honeymoon is something you are wishing to do, the website would be the way to do it.

Planning has been fun. There are SO MANY details to think about. : ) Joel will be here on Monday, February 14, just in time to be my valentine. It will be very nice to have him around to be together again and to plan together...in all this, I feel so much closer to him. It has been cool to see how our minds work when they get together, it’s like a sneak peak of what our marriage will be like.

Honeymoon Registry

We have created a Honeymoon Registry to help cover some of the honeymoon costs. Please have a look through it and if you were planning on giving us a gift maybe consider doing this. People from all over the world can help.


Many thanks

My parents are coming!

My parents have booked tickets to fly over for our wedding. I am very excited to see them and they will be in California on the 3rd of March. It will be a great blessing having them there for a period of time before the wedding just for moral support and also the great practical support they will be.

My brothers and sister are also really hoping to come over but they will just be there for the weekend.

I am so excited to see them all!

Two more weeks until I am in California.
