Speeding Trains

As you all know, I am getting married. And I have an excuse for not blogging for months, I doubt it's any good, but it's much of the reason I have been MIA from the world of blogging. I have been in the land of wedding, a world of flowers and DJs and guest lists and countdowns...plans and details like I have never known before. All for one day. Six months ago it seemed like this "one day" would never get here and in 7 short weeks all of this hard work will pay off. As the day quickly approaches, there are times I felt as if I was being run over by a speeding train, it's not as easy as I envisioned it would be!! And though I now understand why people elope, I will never forget these feelings I get whenever I think about how close our day is getting!

My mom has been such a big help in those "trying" days. She is my shoulder to cry on (and I've used that shoulder a lot!!) and she has been my comfort. I thought I knew exactly what I wanted when Corey asked me to marry him, I thought I had our entire wedding planned an hour after we were engaged...man oh man how things change. I know that it can be as simple as going and getting a dress and a tux, buying pretty flowers and finding a place to say "I do," but I didn't want that. I want Corey and I to remember our wedding day everyday...and I want everyone who is there to remember how special it was. I have had some of the funnest times and some of the hardest times planning our wedding, but I can definitely say that it has been an experience that I wouldn't change for anything in this world.

I have been overwhelmed with gratitude, honored that so many friends and loved ones will be able to join us on our special Day, and I am completely ready to be Corey's wife. What a wave of emotions. I never want to forget these moments leading up to the one day that I have looked forward to my entire life.

Just keep me in your prayers. Some days I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing and in all reality, I don't!!! But at the end of the day on June 27th all that will matter was that Corey and I were there in front of God and our families, promising our lives to each other. That is what I am looking forward to the most.
