Okay so last night it hit me...I MEAN REALLY HIT me!
Just ask Sam!
Hit me so much so I couldn't sleep for the longest time and I was crying with excitement, unbelief, joy.....mixed emotions of, "Lord, I can't believe it! I don't deserve it! It was worth the wait for sure!"
Lets us just say that we are both so extremely ready it could possible be a shocker to some! :)
Oh Lord thank you for all you have done and are going to do!!!! We DO NOT deserve it at all!
Just walked down the street to the coffee shop
Had to take a break
I've been by her side for 18 hours straight
Saw a flower growing in the middle of a sidewalk
Pushing up through the concrete
Like it was planted right there for me to see
The flashing lights, the honking horns
All seemed to fade away
In the shadow of that hospital at 508
I saw God today.
I've been to church,
I've read the book
I know he's here but I don't look
Near as often as I should
His fingerprints are everywhere
I just slowed down to stop and stare
Opened my eyes and man I swear
I saw God today.
Saw a couple walking by
They were holding hands
Man she had that glow
Yeah I couldn't help but notice she was starting to show
Stood there for a minute taking in the sky
Lost in that sunset
A splash of amber melted into shades of red.
I've been to church, I've read the book
I know he's here but I don't look
Near as often as I should
His fingerprints are everywhere
I just slowed down to stop and stare
Opened my eyes and man I swear
I saw God today.
Got my face pressed up against the nursery glass
She's sleeping like a rock
My name on her wrist wearing tiny pink socks
She's got my nose, she's got her mamas eyes
My brand new baby girl
She's a miracle
I saw God today...
Well, with 13 days left to go I figured I should update! 13 whole little days! :)
Last Thursday I went and had my bridal portraits taken and man I wish I could put some up but that wouldn't do. Sam can't see me yet! :D
Last Saturday we had our shower at church and were blessed with so much and in such a big way! It is so exciting to see all we have to start out with and that everyone cares for us like they do! I means so very much to us both.
Today was my personal shower and of course, yes, I did have fun!
This last week was my first week off of work and oh man was it ever amazingly nice! I had no idea how badly I needed the break. Sleep was something I didn't realize I needed so badly! It was like three years of office stress left me and I crashed like I had no idea I would! I was able to get everything completely packed that I will not be needing before the wedding and it has left my room so empty! Reality striking me! Feels a little strange to be living from a suit case and packing for a honeymoon....... I keep wondering if this is really happening to me or if I am living in a dream. I keep pinching myself and nothing happens though so it must be real! *grin*
So this week is my last week before the week of the wedding and I am so ready! I have the reception slide show yet to make and programs to print but that isn't much. Next Sat. is our last counseling session with Pastor Jerry. Then the wedding is upon us!!!! Just like that!
All I can say is God has blessed me! I am having so much fun! No stress like people said I would have at at all!!! In fact I was asking Mom this week if she was sure I had everything covered because this just seemed way TOO easy right now! :) Now that is the Lord! I have loved being engaged and I am going to love these next 13 days! I plan on having the time of my life and enjoying every second because never again will I have these moments to enjoy!
Last night we ended the day with my families normal every year Valentine party! :)
My roses from Sam!
One thing is for sure Valentine's Day in my life has been a very special day indeed!
Happy Valentine's Day my Valentine!
Leslie, I just wanted you to know that no time, no distance, not anything is going to change my love for you! You have been so patient... so loyal... you have waited all this time and all at over 200 miles apart. That means so much to me! I promise you that this will never happen again! I won't let it! You are still my beautiful Princess! I have the biggest crush on you that keeps getting bigger and bigger. I am proud and honored, with my head held high, that you would be my Valentine! I love you so much!
Your Superman,
Samuel Wesley
Okay, so lunch time came around.....and Sam dissapeared and then came back saying he was ready to go. When we got to the truck and he opened the door he had the entire seat and floor covered with rose petals with a dozen red roses on the seat! :)
He took me back to where he took me to eat a year ago right before he asked me to marry him and we even sat at the same table.
We relived the day I guess sort of in a way becasue we also went back to the Myriad Gardens to the very spot where he asked me to marry him! RIGHT HERE! One year later and with 22 days left to go until I put that "Yes" into action!
Samuel, I love you with all my heart! You are my hero and I have more respect for you then I could ever imagine having for anyone else!!! Happy Valentine's Day! Next year right now we will almost have been MARRIED one year! :)
X's and O's
Looks like a fake background!
Yes, Sam is here for Valentine's Day! Something we didn't think was going to happen but two days ago he called me and said that they were going to let him work from up here in OK Thursday & Friday so he could be here on our 1 YEAR ENGAGEMENT ANN! One whole year ago from this day today, Sam asked me to become his wife and spend the rest of my life with him and I said, "Yes!" That is a whole lot a time and where oh where on earth did it go!
It really is hard to believe! REALLY hard to believe that we started counting down from over 380 something days.....and now we have only 22 left to go! That is it!
So, it is 9:40 in the morning and the wonderful day is just getting started! Sam had to work all day and I have to work this afternoon so we came down to the church really early this morning for Sam! :) today is my last day of work here at church and that has many mixed emotions involved considering that I have been working here for a little over 3 years now. But we have Noel Boyd in the fiances and I'm done training her and then today I finish training Sandy Rushing for afternoon receptionist. I feel excitement and relief knowing I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn Mon. morning and start a week of work all over again but sad that I am leaving here. All those I love, the work I love, the fun, the fellowship and closeness...and Janie Martin, my favorite attack secretary, I am gonna miss you so bad there aren't words to explain it!!! :)
So, Sam and I are BOTH started a BIG new chapter in our lives and I am thoroughly unexplainably excited indeed! :) God is so good and I am sooooooo blessed! So, we shall see what the rest of this wonderful day holds!!
Friday, February 1st was my b-day! Sam of course came up for the weekend. I actually had to end up working that day in the afternoon so we ran around the city together. That night we had the big family party we always have!
We had a cowboy theme......complete with hat and hankie... :)
