In 2 1/2 weeks I get to marry the most wonderful guy in my life. I am so excited!
I had my first total freak out (I hope it is also my last) yesterday. So much to do in the next few weeks and I was overwhelmed by the idea of it. Not to mention we got some hard news.
We have been waiting for a letter that cancels Jared's first sealing. The stake president gave us the "I don't think it will be here in time" chat. I cried. We knew it was a possibility but I have felt so good about it and now that the possibility is staring me in the face that we won't make it to the temple it is hard. We know this is the right thing for us. We feel very good about the situation and still have great hopes that miracles can happen. If it doesn't, then we will make it in a year. It isn't a matter of if we will, just a matter of when.
I had my freak out and Jared was awesome. He held me and let me vent, he voiced his concerns and worries and just knew how to handle me. I am so grateful for a man who loves me so much and knows me so well. I know that he is a blessing to me and that Heavenly Father saved him for me all this time.
I may not have understood why it took so long, but I am so grateful. And just like I may not understand the timing of this letter, I know there is a plan and I have faith that things will work out they way they need to. I will be happy and find joy in my blessings and not focus on the "if only".

Nichole!!! I am so excited that I found your blog. I love commenting back and forth on Facebook, but seriously, blogs are WAY better! Glad we have gotten to know each other through Facebook...I feel this odd sort of connection to you! I found you through Liz Stanford (now Roberts) I joined the Church when I was 20 and remember you from the Singles Ward, but it seems like you were only there for a little while when I was there. You can check out my blog too if you want. www.homecanbeaheavenonearth.blogspot.com (Stacy Hinton)
Blogs are better Stacy! I remember you vaguely from the branch but it was because I left when you were still pretty new I think. I feel an odd connection to you as well and am happy to keep up via blogs and facebook. I am also so super excited to hear about your adoption, I have always felt like adoption was something I need to be a part of. So to hear about yours I felt even more connected! I cannot wait to hear more about your journey.
