Date rearrangement!


For this first month of being engaged we were planning on getting married in May. Well let's just say waiting and being apart SUCKS REALLY BADLY. So this last weekend Rachel suggested that we get hitched in January. I thought that it was just a ridiculous idea. At the time I thought it meant me taking all twelve credits for being full time over the internet. I promised her that I would fast about it. So it just so happened to be fast sunday the next day. So I fasted and then I prayed about it, fully expecting to get a resounding " no way! Be patient!" But instead I got a yes! that's the right day. I literally started laughing! so I told her I would have to get family approval and that I would have to talk to my counselor about my options.
SO NOW WE ARE GETTING MARRIED THE 3RD OF JANUARY!!!!!!!!!
And we found out that God is very good. 3 1/2 weeks earlier I went in to make an appointment with my counselor, and she didn't have another appointment for 3 1/2 weeks. So on the exact day that I went in to see her I had an appointment! It was great!
She told me that I could just defer and go to her college and then just come back! So very good news, but now I have been applying for colleges and sending in transcripts and SAT and ACT scores, which has cost me almost one hundred dollars! Whoda thunk that sending ACT scores would cost 52 dollars?!
Now Rachel is going overdrive with the wedding plans and dress stuff. We are SUPER excited!
Something funny: She thought that for the first few months of marriage it would be ok to live in her apartment with her 3 other roommates! I laughed.
That's just to embarrass her! Now the poor thing is looking for an apartment for us! She is the BEST! I love her to death!
