love story

friends it's really happening...
we're getting married. we bought furniture tonight. I move in to our place next Saturday. Invitations have been sent (if yours hasn't arrived maybe I don't have your address?) showers are being planned. my dress is being made in Indonesia. shoes are adorable.

what a world ago eight years have been. yet still a beautiful and still messy part of our story.

Isaiah 61:
good news to the poor
comfort to the broken hearted
captives will be released
prisoners will be freed.
crown of beauty for ashes
joyous blessing instead of mourning
festive praise instead of despair
rebuild the ancient ruins
instead of shame and dishonor you will possess a double share of honor
everlasting joy will be yours

I love my story with Dave. It's quite the story of what God does for us, his redemption, for something bigger than ourselves.

thanks for being a part of the story, I'm looking forward to celebrating with you all on 7/2:)

#24

find a family for the triplets... check that off the list. Really God did all the work, and this family will have the joy and pain of raising these 3 kids, so really I'm hardly doing anything, but as a 30 before 30 item, I was glad to check this off my list :)

#16

leave a $100 dollar tip.

And then right after that Dave secretly paid for another couple's date night.

both felt really good.

we could do both of these because of #18 - which was to finish financial peace university.


some of my 30 items just don't seem like they will be fit in before the 10th, but #16was really fun to give generously.

song from the weekend...



Arise Oh Lord
Lift up Your eyes
Don’t forget I’m helpless

Oh You lead me to waters and pastures so green
Oh You pour out Your oil and choose goodness and mercy for me

No I will not be in want

You’re with me
I will not fear
You comfort me
I will not fear

Twenty Three lyrics by Aaron Strumpel
