A new chapter begins...

So here we are, just 172 short days until I say I do to the man I have loved for as long as I can remember.  Things are starting to fall into place for us, bit by bit, step by step.  We finally found a place and on the 6th we will be moving in and will start to make a home together as a family.  This is perhaps the most beautiful gift of all...to be together in our own space, to eat together, to laugh together, to enjoy life together.  It has been difficult on us these past few months but now the sun is shining and we are exactly where we needed and hoped we would be!  I am so blessed!  I know if we can make it through the past few months, we can make it through anything together.  By no means has it been easy, but we have done it and now the light is shining at the end of the tunnel and we are on our way to a brand new beginning!  I cannot wait.  Three weeks seems such a long time away.  I know I will be counting the days...I am so excited.  There is even more to do now, but I am ready for it, prepared to do what needs to be done to get us moved and to take care of all my little DIY wedding projects.  Don't think I have ever been so ready for anything, except for my children to be born and for my wedding day to this incredible man I share my life with.  There is a saying that goes something like this, "We may not have it all together, but together we have it all" and I believe that to be true.  In the end, we found ourselves a really nice place, but I really feel that anywhere we are together is truly having it all.  I can't wait for the sunsets outside our windows, the meals around the table, the first time we sit in front of the roaring fire, the day I walk through the door as his Mrs. 

I can't wait to start housekeeping, taking care of my family in the way that only women can.  This is a wonderful day, a wonderful start, a beautiful dream come true!  I have the love of a wonderful man, four amazing children who are practically perfect in every way and a home to build with them all.  God has been really, really good to me!
