Hold The Phone...

So where do I begin. The past week has been a total stressful disaster. Well that's being a little dramatic but really my stomach has been in knots. It all started last Tuesday when my mom called the church to see if my wedding date, May 30, 2009, was booked. It was, ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! So the next day we scheduled to come in and meet with the guy who is charge of booking the church. We were going to look at the sanctuary because Brandon had never been there before and we were planning on looking at what days were available. Well we all got there around 11am and the guy wasn't there. He had left early or something for some reason. What? Are you kidding me? Doesn't he realize that I'm trying to set my date. It's only the single most important day of my life, and he left early. Well we decided that Brandon could look at the church anyway and maybe we could catch the guy the next day. Brandon loved itand we both agreed that this is where we would be married. The next day my mom tried calling the guy back and he wouldn't answer his phone. I'm sure he is really busy but I couldn't believe this was happening. Well we then decided since May 30th wasn't going to work out then we were going to push up the wedding to April 25. "April 25, 2009" I liked how that sounded so that would be the date. We went to look at the Underwood Center that night (Wednesday). We both loved the facility and for sure wanted our reception there so i told my dad to go ahead and book it. Friday morning my mom got a hold of the guy at church and he said April 25th was available. I was so excited. We then scheduled an appointment for Monday to book the church. However, about twelve o'clock my dad called and said that date was already booked for the Underwood Center. I was devastated. I couldn't believe it. I went to Brandon's at lunch and he just told me to calm down that everything would be fine and work out. I felt better. My dad gave us a list that night of what all would be available from March through June. Only one day worked with both the church and the reception site. One day out of all those months? Crazy!!!! So this past weekend I didn't sleep very well, I prayed a lot that God would take over this for me and that I would be able to see clarity for what ever came out of this. By today I felt at peace. If that date was booked then we would keep April 25th and find another reception place. I know that God is always in control of my life. I was confident whatever the outcome, I was going to be happy. We went to our appointment at 1pm and... we got the date, yeah!!!! March 21, 2009 I will marry my best friend and partner and I couldn't be happier. I'm going to have my first pick of ceremony and reception places and it's going to be wonderful. I thank God for everything every day, but driving back to work I couldn't stop smiling and praising Him for this wonderful gift.
