Make it Happen

Today is a make it happen sort of day. I have in my possession, my mom's veil from her wedding. By the time my wedding rolls around this veil will be about 29 years old. It's a gorgeous veil. (I would post pics, but I don't want you-know-who to see it.) It's exactly what I wanted, but could not find anywhere. HOWEVER, the lace has become, well.....aged. Yellow to be exact. SO, I need to find someone who can replace the lace, OR this will become a DIY project. so by the end of today, I will have some sort of solution. Lets see what happens......

kinda funny..

Lately, I've caught myself trying to spell my name Aaraceli. I guess I'm so used to texting/seeing/saying Aaron's name. The place I seem to do it the most is on those "sign here" checkout screens.

I Love "Hello's"

Well in about 15 weeks or so, my fiancee will be moving down to Corpus Christi. I have got to say that there are a lot changes on the way. The one thing that is going to be hardest to for Cheli to adjust to is... we only have TWO malls; and one of them is turning into a flea market; not good. But we love each other and like the good book says, "Love conquers all." 

I am for the first time going to experience having Cheli in the same zip code for the first time ever. As everyone close to us knows that Cheli and I commute by plane most of the time to see each other. This is SO hard for us when we have to leave. I don't like goodbyes. The end is coming for "goodbyes." I can't wait. No more driving around with an empty passenger seat. From now it will be, "make that two please." 

 

Bye Bye Birdie

I am starting to prepare mentally for my move to Corpus. It's going to be a big deal for me. I realized that EVERYTHING in my life is about to change. From becoming a wife, and a pastors wife, to being in a new city where I don't know my way around and having a new job, to having a new cell phone provider and checking account. Everything around me is about to change, except for my car. (Unless Aaron will switch with me? He has heated seats and the car starts from yards away. diva!)

I was in the middle of my 30 minute commute from work, stuck in some traffic, with people speeding, cutting each other off and waving at each other, and all I could say to myself was, "I'm really going to miss Dallas" I love it here. Out of all the 5+ cities/towns I've lived in during my lifetime, I like Dallas the best. I wonder if one day Aaron and I will live here? I wonder if we will live in Corpus forever?- not that I would mind.

I've been in this place before. I'm in this place where I'm totally confiding in God for my well being. It's going to be a huge change, but it's nothing that He can't handle. I'm just casting all my cares on Him. He's leading the way, i'm just taking the steps.

So as my long drives all over Dallas come to an end, i'll just smile and wave. not those kinds of waves, the nice kind.

Bye bye birdies!
