We (Me+Thomas+God) are a team YAY!

So...lately I have begun to feel really stressed with the time window between now and the wedding shortening and the "to do" list getting longer and longer.  For literally months now, we have been struggling to get our list together and mail out the remaining save the dates. Now finally, (with the exception of 11 addresses) it is done! I cannot explain the relief I feel :)

The best part about it is that we worked on it together. Wedding stuff isn't always fun or easy but we stayed up until almost  3 a.m. to get things done. I am really glad he helped instead of taking the typical male, "I just wanna put on a tux and show up", type of attitude. Aside from his creative envelope stuffing and stamp placement, he also pointed out the postage had gone up since we bought stamps. (Such excellent proof that two heads are better than one!) If we would have mailed out all those envelopes with the wrong postage....YIKES! I would have been in tears, no literally tears, when they all came piling back up at my doorstep. Anyhow, he has agreed to take them all to the post office and make sure the correct postage is in place before we mail them so I am really relieved. 

Last night I was feeling such anxiety about all the things that still need to be organized and paid for, I started feeling a lot of tension and pain in my chest. Thomas was kind enough to read some Bible verses to me to kind of help me refocus my mind and de-stress. That really meant a lot to me... I don't know how often he thinks about this but I believe God speaks through people sometimes and last night I think that is what happened because what he read really moved and lifted my spirit in a way that only God can...I know that beyond the wedding planning madness, God has a plan for us and I am truly looking forward to our future together ;) Now if we could just get the invitations ready to go in the next three weeks...Lord have mercy! LOL!
