These boots

Recently I bought myself two new pairs of boots! And believe me when I say.. I surely could wear them All the time! I understand that they're pretty popular right now! And rightfully so! I love rocking them! Sometime last year I really started collecting scarves, this year it's been colored or textured tights! I feel like I'm always wearing tights, a scarf and these boots! There is just something so amazing about them!
I know it's silly to write a blog entry about a pair of boots. But I was really in a blogging mood. Probably because I'm so tired, and yet I have to be at mentoring tonight at 9, so it is my way of keeping myself awake! Easy to say I will be sipping coffee tonight! Lucky for me in a few minutes I'll be heading to target with Daniel to register for gifts! Starbucks is calling my name!
Can I tell you how much life has changed? Seriously.. a year ago I hadn't even met Daniel yet! Its crazy how when we let God take control how he can just speed you along in life! In 65 days I'll be saying I do to my best friend! But not only to my best friend, but to a life full of serving God and people. That's what marrying Daniel means! And I cannot wait! I cannot wait to look back this time next year and see where God has taken our lives together!! So here's to the future, and the boots I'll be wearing!

72 days and counting...


Well basically, it's 72 days until I say "I do." What's crazy is we still don't have a location. We've done our research and still no where! We're currently waiting on Bible World Church to let us know about using their church, but it's been like a roller coaster with them. I'm anxious but trying so hard to stay relaxed. Not having a location means we haven't sent out the invitations, meaning I have no idea who is coming. Like I said I'm trying so very hard to stay relaxed, but I mean it's 72 days away. Daniel basically doesn't know how anxious I am about it, because he has surely been taking his time with calling and finding out if we can or cannot.

I have however made an appointment to have my dress fitted, tomorrow morning! And I'm very excited about it!
I've also been collecting a lot of stuff for the wedding causing my guest room to look like a bomb exploded. I've got candle sticks, apothecary jars, vintage coke bottles, ribbon, flowers.. you name it, I've basically got it!

I love my colors and what I have visioned in my head for our Big Day. But I really am over the amount of time it takes to really think through all this. It's been a chore for sure. I'm just at the point of wanting to just be married. If I didn't want to wear my dress so bad, I'd probably just ask Daniel if we could just do a really small one at Pastors with just our families. But I'm sure that'd upset people and both Daniel and I are people pleasers... I guess that makes us great for ministry.. I think.
Regardless, I know God has his hand in this. I know he is probably just testing my patience. My whole wedding has been an adventure really. But it'll be beautiful, and 10 years from now the only people who will remember it will be Daniel and I. I love Daniel and I wouldn't trade any of this stress, knowing that the stress means I'm going to be with my best friend for the rest of my life!
