Today I submitted the last assignment of this summer quarter. With that submission came immeasurable freedom! It's amazing how much I can do now without having the reminder of an unfinished homework assignment whispering in my ear.
Really, I get to plunge myself fully into this wedding planning stuff. I think it's fun. Who knows if that will last? Maybe it will be fun until the last few weeks, when the time is near with some projects still unfinished.
Something I've been blessed by [and Ivory more than me, I'm sure] is the amount of generosity that people have extended toward our family for this wedding! The Crealocks offered their time and resources immediately, which might be a "given" for some people [parents of the groom and all], but it came as a genuine surprise and blessing to me. Also, a friend of the family [really, the mother-in-law of Ivory's best friend] almost begged [not really - I jest] to host a bridal shower for Ivory. AND, a lady and longtime friend from our church immediately said she would organize a bridal shower at church for Ivory.
Whew! Thank you, Lord! Community is amazing, and it extends beyond what we sometimes realize.
