sitting at work

Thanks for the prayer everyone! I'm not sure I'm completely ready to tell the exam story. I feel like I've told it at least 5 times yesterday and once today.

Honestly, I'm mostly not ready because it was bad...like really bad. There is definitely more to that story. But for now, I'm wanting to choose peace and I'm just not ready to let it all out yet.

BUT! Guess what!

I get to have a date night tonight! My mom sent me some money for a "post-exam celebration" dinner and Reed and I are going to go to Pei Wei and then we are going to go to Barnes and Nobles to get ideas for our ceremony and vows.

I am SO excited! We are meeting with Toney, the pastor who is doing our wedding, tomorrow, so tonight is the night where we sit nerdily in Barnes and Noble isles looking at ideas for how our ceremony will go.

I cannot tell you how much my heart melts when I think of marrying Reed. Everyday I just want to tell someone how excited and ready I am to marry him. I know people probably expect that, but he is amazing....

He is the one who:
-makes me come to his work so that he can sit in the car with me while I cry about my exam.
-buys me groceries so I can have extra time to study
-desires for our marriage to be about Christ, even if that means we have to do things out of our comfort zone
-takes his poetry class seriously and could talk to me for hours about how to put a poem together correctly
-plays wii with me and lets me talk trash, even though he beats me every time
-tells me how proud he is of all the work I've put into the CPA exam, because he knows how important it is for us
-constantly builds me up and encourages me
-doesn't mind that I'm goofy and a tad bit nerdy
-would pick me over soccer any day
-texts me every morning with "Good morning beautiful :) How did you sleep?"
-doesn't think I should be ashamed of being sensitive
-has grace with me when I repeatedly don't deserve it

I just, plain and simply, love him.
