8 Days :)

Well I have good news...as every day goes by my STRESS decreases :) That is because more is getting done everyday and it gets more and more refreshing!

I actually did not sleep very well last night. I do not remember it being because of wedding stuff I think it was just a bad night of sleep but regardless I decided to sleep in! I slept till about 9:45 then I got up and played with little piper, who is not so little anymore.

After awhile I actually did not do any wedding things until the evening. I spent the entire day filling out a application for Watauga County Schools! Although, I would LOVE to be only focused on the wedding right now, that is not the case. I still am job searching. I would love to have one in place by the time I get married but there is no telling. But two student service opportunities arose in Watauga County since I left Boone. If you have heard me talk about my dreams lately you would know being in a full time student service position in a school is a dream of mine! So I had to stop myself from any wedding things sit on the couch with my laptop and get it done. I emailed the principal at WHS and he said he would put in a good word for me so we will see! On paper I know I am under qualified but I know my heart and capabilities and so does the Lord, so we'll just put it in his hands, what do you think?! :)

Well after my never ending application I chose a layout for the reception and then went back to the SEAMSTRESS!! And once again...I did NOT leave with my dress. But I have good news too...the dress DOES fit! FINALLY!! But there were some problems with the way the lady put the hooks on so she had to do a little more work on it. Remember when I said she should have never touched this part of the dress and it was perfect before?! Just saying :)

But after that we headed to the groomsmen hotel and took care of the rooms and then we sat down for a nice dinner downtown. It all in all was a good day. I still feel the pressure from a few things that I know need to get done immediately but I have not really had time for yet but I know tomorrow is another day of preparation and another day to get things done.

At this point in the game I am focused mainly on one thing....I am marrying my best friend in 8 days...EIGHT DAYS! It gives me butterflies just thinking about it. I am so unbelievably excited. I am spending time through out my days praying for my sweetheart. I know he is worried about me getting stressed out but I also worry about him too. I want him to be stress free and being able to relax in this time. We have such an adventure ahead of us and I know it is going to be so much greater than our understanding. And not to mention in 9 days we will land in the beautiful island of St. Lucia for a week of just the two of us, the blue waters, and the SUN!! Woohoo!

I am still in disbelief that the time is actually here and tomorrow marks a week till the wedding. I am so excited to see all my friends in one place and celebrate a love that is modeled by the love of Christ and I am excited that that love is the love I share with the most amazing man :)

I love you all to death! I can not wait to see you next weekend and I am so excited for all that is ahead tomorrow. My stress has decreased and my excitement is taking over again! Phew, that is a GOOD feeling!

Goodnight!
