24 DAYS!!! :)

Updates are few and far between...
And I'm sure it's got something to do with the fact that we're getting married in 24 days!
But anyway... I saw this little cake stamp and it just reminded me of all of you that will be sharing a delicious cake with me in a few weeks and I thought I'd post a little to let you know I'm still alive and we're still getting married!! :)

Pray for us, if you would.
Life throws something new at us every day.
There are several big things you can pray for...

1: Neither of us have a car that works well. Mine is great, except that sometimes it simply won't start. (It always happens after I drive more than 20 miles at a time.) It's been in and out of the shop over the past two weeks and the guy told me yesterday, "I simply cannot figure it out. I'm sorry." Great to hear from a mechanic who focuses on starters, battery and alternators. Huh. Don't quite know what we'll do about that one.

2: The wedding is CLOSE!!! There is much to do these last 24 days. We're having fun putting everything together and figuring out all the little details... but it's hard to find time for everything and each other in the midst of working full time and planning full time and all the other stuff going on. We have had some amazing wedding showers together and bought our first purchase together for our house as a couple: a bed for Claxton, Ryan's dog! :) We've been told he needs to stop sleeping with Ryan BEFORE I move in... so this week has been rather rough on both of them... but really exciting at the same time. I think Claxy knows what's coming. And he seems to like his cute little brown and blue bed!

3: We're not really sure where we'll go or what we'll do after we get married. A new pastor will begin at North Vernon Church on October 25, 2009. Needless to say, that won't be us. We will be moving soon, Ryan is looking for a job, and we'll need to find a house. God's got all the details we know and trust... it's just gonna take some time and a lot more praying to figure it all out!

So that's what's up with us. Pray for and with us please!!
We are desperately seeking God's direction and will for our lives together!
I'll leave you with a picture of my men... :)
