So this past monday was our 4 months-to-go point and we are seriously wondering if this day will ever come, based on the glacial pace it has seemingly chosen thus far! Everything is ready to go, from the venues to the photographer and now we get to worry over the tiny little details. Something that has been frustrating to me, however, is that so many people are not getting our save-the-dates in the mail! I have heard from at least half of the people we sent them to that they did not receive it, which really makes me wonder. We had a few return to us but after checking with those people, there wasn't anything even wrong with the addresses. I don't know how to solve this problem, so we very well might end up hand-delivering invites when that time comes. I guess that would be a lot cheaper too.. hmm...
This past weekend we picked out our wedding bands, which was exciting for me. I was totally fine getting a plain silver band but James and the jeweler-lady strongly encouraged me to get one that matches my ring....so I guess there'll be even more sparkling going on in the future, goodness! This weekend was a lot of fun because not only did we get our bands picked out but we took advantage of being in LA by eating (more like gorging ourselves) at Philipe's and consuming four french dip sandwiches, but OH they are so good! Then we stopped by Harmony Estes' homecoming party where we got to see a lot of friends and family (practically) before heading over to Nick Roberts' going away party where I got to meet a lot of James' other friends from when he was younger. We were so exhausted afterwards I think we were both passed out in the middle of our movie by around 8pm.
We had a somewhat ho-hum Easter this year, what with schedules being mismatched and my being inundated with much schoolwork. After church and lunch with Deb & Travis we read/homeworked/napped/sunbathed until dinner time at his Uncle's house, and then returned to do more of the same before calling it a night. We definitely spent time in the Word, and my prayer is that people wouldn't get so caught up in solely the fact that Christ rose from the dead, but that they might see the fulfillment of God's word in that act, and that it might cause them to look at the life of Christ through God's Word, and see how many more wonderful things he also fulfilled.
"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the twelve."
-- 1 Corinthians 15:3-5
Happy Thursday..... almost the weekend!!!
