38 Days!

Yvette here, 38 days and counting. Each day brings more excitement for by pending nuptials. I can't wait to be Mrs. Josh Lee! Not only do I get to move up in the alphabet but I get to marry my dream man. I had given up all fantasies that he existed until that fateful day when while sitting in the loo I heard his voice. Yes, I was multitasking, peeing and screeening my calls. I'll never forget hearing that wilcoesque voice. Immediately I knew this was no ordinary caller. Maybe it was what he said or how he said it. Perhaps it was God placing it on my heart or my own perception knowing something lie on the other end of that call. Either way there was a comfortable familiarity in what I heard. It wasn't long afterwards that I returned the call and left a message. Josh could tell you exactly how long it took for me to call, what I said, and whether or not he was in the loo. They were the first of many phone calls and the beginning of the best thing that ever happened to me! Signed, the Future Mrs. Josh Lee

The hearts....

It was bad weather on Monday-snowed all day. Yvette worked and drove from work in what she said was the worst driving weather she has ever driven in (yes, I offered to come pick her up, but she didn't want me to) she drove straight to our house and stayed for a bit. When she was ready to leave, she asked me to take her home. I drove up her driveway, we kissed and I said goodnight. I backed up and drove down the driveway. The next morning Jane, Yvette's mom noticed 2 large hearts in her driveway, which she thought I did on purpose. Needless to say, I'm not very artistic and couldn't have done it......

It is her! Yipppee!

WoW! As I sit here and think what a great day it is, a very profound day in our lives. I can't help but think of the past, thinking back when I was a little guy and wondering "who will that girl be that I marry one day"? "wonder where she is"? "wonder what she'll look like"? "wonder when we'll actually meet"? wonder how we'll meet"? all of those things have been answered now. It really brings me back and as I reflect on it, it is almost surreal to get these answers. I always did pray for her and now to know it was Yvette who I was thinking of and praying for makes it that much better! I feel so blessed to have met the girl of my dreams and God does provide all of the answers, on his own time, not ours. I'm really glad that I did wait and didn't "settle" along the way......

They gave us a marriage license!

43 Days!

Everything is going great! God is good! Spent the weekend (again) finising up the bathroom. Still about a week away from being totally done-we'll see how that goes. Everything is sailing smooth for the "big day" just a few little things to wrap up. We're both very excited and with 43 days away, we can really start to see what God has done with providing everything to us. We hope and pray our guests enjoy themselves as well.

But the basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is! Romans 1:19

48 Days!

Rocking and rolling all the way to March Fourth. Everything is going great! Got our wedding bands and bought a new toilet all in the same day. We had a great time doing both of those together! Oh, the little things in life.....Everything else is under control, finishing the bathroom this weekend and finalizing some little details. I think this is the lul and then a couple of weeks before the "big day" we'll have a bunch of little things come up. Oh well, God is guiding us and we both have this amazing peace. It's all great and I can't wait!

52 Days!

Great weekend! God is continuing to bless us the whole way in everything we do. We worked on the bathroom all weekend, it's getting close and should be done by next weekend. I'm learning that you can never predict the unforeseen issues that come up, so if something does come up and we can't be done next weekend, oh well, we'll make it work. Having a blast doing all of this with my girl. We've really grown closer through this house and everything we do. I recommend any engaged couple to do something such as buy a foreclosure and re-model it! Other than that, the wedding plans are full steam ahead. We got great news on Friday that my brother and his family will be joining us, it really means a lot to us that they will all be here to be part of it. There was a chance with quarter finals for Zeke and Dash that they wouldn't be able to make it, but now to know they'll be here, makes us really happy. Till later.....

GOD is great!

It's all good! God is great and he is giving us more than we could ever ask for-the people he has put into our lives, the place to marry, the friends that will be here to enjoy this celebration and the wisdom and patience to do it all.

Spent a great morning with Yvette, drove her to work and had a nice talk and prayer time together. I commented that this is the most excited I have been with anticipation ever in my life, knowing that I will get to marry the girl of my dreams and spend Eternity with her.

Everyday seems to bring a new "little" detail that we have to get done in order to make March Fourth special for her. God has provided everything so far and isn't about to stop now. It's a good feeling-peace.

All of the wedding is happening while we decided to re-hab our bathroom last weekend. It throws a little wrench into everything, but it will be worth it. Once again God has provided us with the right people at the right price to get this done. We're very excited......
