100 More

100 more days until I get to marry the love of my life. Chance and I have been together for over 5 1/2 years and when we think of being married, we are ecstatic. I did the math and we have been together for 2,058 days. It makes me giggle to think that in just 100 days, I will be his wife. I remember thinking over the years about how long it seemed it would be to get to this moment that I am in now.

I've always been one to look to the future and want to be there already. There have been moments that seem to have been wished away. It is hard for me to believe that I have been out of high school for almost 4 years, much less that I am almost finished with my bachelor's degree. So to wake up and realize that I am only 100 days out from the best day of my life, a day that I have been dreaming of for so long, is truly breath-taking.

We have heard over the past 7 1/2 months that the engagement season is strenuous on a relationship but for us it has been so very sweet. Getting to plan my dream wedding has been so exciting and getting to really start talking about "what's next" together has been even sweeter. We have seen the Lord bless our relationship immensely and so we know that no matter what, He will always take care of us.

He has blessed us in so many ways already such as working Chance's school schedule to where he can move home in a few weeks rather than in May, after our wedding. For the entirety of our engagement, we were under the impression that Chance would have to be in Huntsville until May and just a few weeks ago, we figured out that the school had changed their requirements for his degree and he would be able to be online for school in the Spring, allowing him to move home in December. We know without a doubt that this was God at work in our lives, working things out, even when He doesn't have to.

So in 100 days, my name and my life will change forever. And where most all change scares me, this one I have longed for and I will accept with the most joyous heart. No more having to leave each other's houses at the end of the evening and no more phone calls to say goodnight. We will finally get to begin a life together and experience all of the wonderful, ordinary things that life brings.
