What a wonderful weekend:)

Our weekend started on Friday with my dad and his fiance coming into town. We went out to eat at Bonefish! Yummy! And saw the movie Date Night. Then on Saturday we went to see my grandmother to take her around to visit assisted living places. This was kind of stressful but it made my heart happy to know she would be in a safe place. She is 88 years old and has more faith than anyone I know. We also took her to get a dress for the rehearsal dinner. We are so excited that she will be able to come to all of our wedding festivities. I did not realize how much patience it took to spend a day with an 88 year old. It is super challenging and almost like babysitting. I had to dress her, make sure she did not spill any food on her, and push her in a wheelchair. Whew! By the end of the day, I crashed!

Sunday we went to an awesome church service at 12stone and the pastor that is going to marry us did the sermon. Then later that afternoon we met with him. His name is Kevin Queen and he has so much wisdom and knowledge about Jesus. It was so fun because he asked us to start at the very beginning of our relationship and tell our story. We don't get to do this much so it was great that someone wanted to actually listen to us! haha He then asked us questions about eachother and what we admired about eachother. It made us stop and think about our feelings for one another. It was nice to get a little refresher of how much we meant to eachother.

Well, we are 33 days from the wedding. I just can not believe it. Pretty much everything is finished, now we just have to sit back and wait for the big day! I hope you all have a wonderful day.


Here is a devotional from InTouch! Hope you enjoy this and your day:

Grace is God’s undeserved goodness and kindness toward us without regard to our merit or worth. It is freely bestowed on all who believe the good news that Jesus is the the Son of God, and He died for their sins.

Although grace is free, it isn’t cheap—the Lord paid a high price to obtain this blessing for us. He left the wealth of heaven to come to earth so that He could redeem us and give us the riches of His celestial home. Think of what that meant in terms of Jesus’ earthly life:

The One who is Creator and Owner of all things lived on earth without possessions. He was born in a borrowed stable, had no place to lay His head during the years of His itinerant ministry, and borrowed not only a donkey for entering Jerusalem but also an upper room for the last supper. Even the tomb was not His own.

Christ also laid aside the glory He had with the Father. Although He never ceased being God while on the earth, His radiant divinity was veiled with human flesh. Being born as a helpless baby, Jesus gave up the use of His omniscience and went through all the stages of human growth and development. The Son of God descended from reigning on the Father’s throne to washing the dirty feet of His disciples.

Christ became poor but lost nothing. Jesus regained the glory of heaven and brought us along. In following Him, believers likewise lose nothing and gain everything. We die to self and gain our souls; give away riches and receive heavenly treasures; and humble ourselves to be exalted in God’s time
