We had our first session of Pre-Marital Counseling last night. To put it in a nutshell, it was fun, exciting, thought-provoking and fulfilling. We left with something, and that's really important. Of course, there were a lot of reminders of things we already learned in our singleness, but we never want to leave something like that feeling like we know it all.
That's one sign of our special day getting closer. Over the past couple of weeks, my living room has been filling up with packages of supplies for the wedding. Obviously, we can't do anything with it, so it just sits there and accumulates. Today, I received seven HUGE boxes of glass vases for our centerpieces, and I thought to myself, "Gee, it sure it getting hard to walk around here..." I sat back and felt a rush of excitement, realizing that the day is almost here. An and I occasionally stop and playfully ask each other, "Oh my goodness, can you believe we're getting married??" and it never fails to ignite a smile each time. Being at PM Counseling last night also reminded us of how REAL our marriage is going to be. We're praying for God's wisdom and hearts with an expectancy of the RIGHT things (not unrealistic things). We're going to conquer things with love (for it conquers all), and we're going to beat the statistics of the world. That's our goal/promise. You're welcome to hold us to it. :)
We also just purchased our honeymoon package today! The honeymoon is something we're both looking forward to, only because we've been so anxious to just get away from our busy schedules and just be with each other. It came to a point where I didn't really care where we went, as long as we were out of Texas, and together, alone. He actually purchased the plane tickets to Hawaii first, without even knowing what package we'll be getting. After all, getting out was our main goal, right? Haha. In regards to planning and providing for these things, I'm such a blessed woman. I'm taken care of... all thanks to You, God.

Pump-what???
40 days!!! AAAH!! So excited!
To highlight this day, I ate and filmed with Tom Pizzica from Food Network's Outrageous Food! Yeah, I'm totally far from being camera ready, haha. Look for me stuffing my face with Three Brother's famous Pumpecapple Piecake - a mischievous concoction of "pumpkin pie baked in a pumpkin spice cake filled with crème cheese icing, pecan pie (or chocolate pecan pie) baked in chocolate cake filled with crème cheese icing, and apple pie baked in our spice cake, iced all over with crème cheese icing, garnished with pecan pieces and topped with a generous drizzle of carmel!" I'll be sure to post a link when it's produced!
Oh, maybe I should update you on my wedding diet progress?? Haha yeah, what diet - now that the Pumpecapple Piecake has come into my life! It's no big deal, it only took them a good 5 minutes to wrestle with my zipper to finally get it up, right? :)
On a second thought, An and I thought it'd also be perfect to highlight this day by beginning a new fast (heh, the irony). I think we've decided. Probably not a food one since we've been starving due to our budget adjustments, haha. It'll be great... just like You, Lord. Today marks the beginning of a glorious turning point! Thank YOU!
