Though we are not really a blogger, we're hoping you'll be able to journey with us as we experience the ups and downs of living out a marriage. And a cross-cultural marriage at that. :)

Flyin' by the Seat of our Pants. :)

Well time seems to be flying by. I honestly didn't feel the pressure until this last week. This is when everyone wants the itinerary, and their money. It has been a bit crazy trying to do the last minute details as well as move into our house in 2 weeks tomorrow!!! It's insane.

Meanwhile, we've been keeping busy - J in Parry Sound, G in Milton, we'll both be in Mississauga next week until we get our house. Can't wait! Then I'll stay there while G sleeps at his parents. I can't wait to officially tie the knot.

My dad and I have been painting pillars, I even wore my Queen's coveralls to Canadian Tire last night. Only in a small town...
and we spread out christmas lights on our lawn to see if we had enough length. We certainly didn't look too "normal", but I can tell you I'll miss being silly, doing projects like this with my pops.

Proof:

Leaving and cleaving - it's harder than it sounds, but I know it's worth it (intellectually). And I'm thankful for such a godly man in my life who loves me the way Christ loves the church.

So in the midst of busyness, I'm trying to remember to be thankful for all I have and count my blessings every day.
Life is too short not to.

Moving IN while moving OUT.

Just to chronicle the wonders of moving, I thought I'd share a picture I took of those who were moving IN when in the final stages of moving out of my house on the Danforth.




It was rather overwhelming, that, and the amount of mouse poo I found under my bed. Apparently it is bad to breathe in, I wish I did a better clean up job earlier.

Alas, here's to keeping a clean house in the future...at least one void of mice.

5 weeks to the wedding on Saturday, 4 weeks to the house tomorrow! CRAZY!

Oh, and God has totally been providing for us in terms of tables and couches. I'm SO thankful for that, and for providing me a place to stay at the Gervais residence this week in Milton. They have been incredibly hospitable and welcoming, and their son is a blast to play hide-and-seek with! :)
