it has begun ladies and gentlemen, five more days until i am officially a wifey! it has started setting in since adam announced that he was gonna move some stuff in. no longer will i have my own space, own life, own bed, own food, own money, own heart. But what a joy it will be to share all of those things with my love!
so if you are wondering how i'm doing now that the wedding is less than a week away...i'm actually good! we are bustin' our butts getting everything so we can be done and honeymoon in the middle of the school year (ain't no prof gonna stop us. true so kno's gonna do what we do, ya heard?). i'm just praying for stamina and trust that school, work, wedding, and marriage will go in the way of the perfect plan our lord has for us. but i cannot wait to spend time with my best friends, my family, and my soon to be family this weekend! all to celebrate adam and i getting married!! who couldn't be excited for that?

just as an update...adam and i are still losing our minds. it is the worst feeling in the world to me to look at my calender, think about the next time i'm going to be able to sleep, and truly not know an answer. for me, it is looking like the night of october 26th. i know i'm going to be fine, but i'm just exhausted and on the verge of tears often, wondering how we are going to get it all done.
and to top it off...i got assigned another paper today to turn in before we leave for the wedding/honeymoon. that equals (from today) 5 papers and 3 exams within the next sixteen days. i hate to say it, but i think adam's got it even worse than i do. his birthday is tomorrow and literally EVERY second will be spent in class, interviewing for a job, or working on projects/papers. is that not awful?
"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." i think of this promise in matthew a lot. and lord do i pray for rest right now.

c'est la vie
it is officially our wedding month! as of right now we have nineteen! more days until adam and i are married! i can't believe it has gone by this fast. i remember counting up the days and it was in the 200's...i thought it would never get here. well it is, and its comin' with a blazin' fury (moment of silence to salute dolly and all of her theme park gloriousness). i have been waiting for this month for so long and now that its here i'm afraid i'm gonna lose my mind haha!
as of last thursday, our lives have officially become crazy. for the past few weeks i've been looking at my planner thinking, "ok...we are gonna make it through this," and i am in all seriousness praying that we will and that we will love each other in a way that we never could on our own. an explanation of the past weekend might give you a good idea of how my life looks...

this all consists of 500 miles of driving and being in 4 different cities...pretty crazy. now we just have to get through this week of work, a helluvalot of school work so that we can miss a week to go on a honeymoon, going back to knoxville again, and trying to maintain some sort of relationship with each other. although all/most of it is fun stuff...its still a lot. i'm just ready to be married and done with all of this craziness. i'll just hope that it all makes the end result that much sweeter.
