Some last thoughts

I was hoping to have the time to write one more post... what was I thinking!? The in-laws arrived yesterday and the meeting of both parent sets have gone so well. They were a big help yesterday with details. I'm now up early because I cannot sleep anymore even though I only went to sleep at 2:30 a.m. There's still a lot to do, but I'm told it will all fall into place. Right now, even while sleepy (or maybe because I'm sleepy), I feel a knot beginning to form in my throat - the kind where you feel "all choked up" - as I think about what is about to take place. It results from a combination of nervousness and overwhelming joy. If tears fall, that will be okay, but they will be mostly the result of happiness. I woke up this morning envisioning seeing my soon-to-be husband standing at the front of the church with a huge smile on his face. I can't wait!!!

Everyone has been such a big help - running errands, assisting with details (I think I like that word), or keeping me company with smiles and laughter into the wee hours of the morning. I cannot go without specifically recognizing my mom who has been so hard at work for so many days. I appreciate so much all the sacrifices she has made and all the love she has put into making this day so special. I love you all!

See you on the other side! I will soon be a Mrs. :-)
