Closer and closer...

So things are really coming together lately!  I have an apartment all set and ready with cable/internet and utilities.  Essau has a stall that will be waiting for him a few weeks after I move in.  Mom and dad rented a U-Haul truck that we'll be taking over the mountain.  This is really going to happen.  Not that there was ever any doubt, but all of these things make it that much more real!  I'm really excited about a new city, new friends, and furthering my education. 

I'm trying to see as many of my friends as I can this last month before I head West.  I bought a camera for my computer and will be setting up Skype, so if anyone wants to video chat, please let me know!  Familiar faces will be a wonderful pick-me-up so don't hesitate! :)

On another note, things are also beginning to come together for the wedding.  I have contacted a photographer that I am 90% sure we will be using.  I am touring a reception location today with my mom and have contacted another.  I have looked at wedding invitations and have put together a rough budget.  It's so exciting to see things falling into place and I have no one to thank but God.  He has truly blessed me in so many ways and I am incredibly thankful.  I know this transition is going to be a big one, filled with some difficult times and a few challenges, but I am confident that God will get me through it and that I will have a blast along the way.
