The month of February will always hold a place in my heart, and especially this year as I remember a 4 year anniversary that I never thought would come. This year I celebrate two things that I never thought would be just a memory that I grinned and shook my head at when I think about them. Memories that were my life, and that almost made me lose it.

I remember February 4 years ago, and I remember how I felt then. Its amazing to contrast my life between February 2006 and February 2010. It is truly the difference between dark and light. And, I've discovered, good and evil.

I'm so blessed to have made it through, and in a short amount of time, turned my life around. If anyone ever questions God's providence and grace, they simply have to take a look at where I was, and where I am. He is nothing buy mercy and love.

Check, check, check, check it off!

That's what Jason and I did this weekend in regards to our wedding stuff: we checked a whole bunch of things off the to-do list. Its hard to believe that we are now less than 16 weeks away from our wedding! Its going to be amazing to see the culmination of Jason, my parents, his parents, and I's hard work, and to be a part of the amazing day God will join us together. Now, if only I can keep checking things off!

  1. Got our second, and much more reasonable, floral proposal back. Our finalized one will come this week, so hopefully we'll be able to do a deposit and sign the contract before the week is over!
  2. Our invitations have arrived!!! And they are more beautiful than I ever imagined!
  3. The information for the guys' tuxes are now in the computer at Men's Wearhouse
  4. Jason is measured for his tux (which was fun to watch)
  5. Our newspaper announcement has been sent in
  6. We've started looking at favors
  7. Our registry has been updated
  8. I made my appointments to get my dress altered! :)
Whew. We are on it.
