October 31

So the countdown is now 23 days!! Yay!!! : )

Life is crazy and continues to get crazier, but Dad is faithful. He daily shows reminders of His plan and His hand in even the small details. The last week and a half has been eventful to say the least. I (Melissa) had some roommate troubles and had to move out of my apartment. The next day, however, a friend and her family graciously opened up their home for me to stay until the wedding. Things have been going great there, and I'm so grateful for their hospitality and friendship!!

We have been getting the final details and arrangements for the wedding taken care of. There are so many things we never even had thought of before concerning wedding planning!! We thank Dad for His provision. Most of the decorations for the wedding and reception have been provided for free and so have all the bubbles!! : ) Dad has provided a place for us to live for December before we move. It's free and close enough that we both can continue working for two more weeks after we get back from our honeymoon!!!

Another exciting thing that happened this week is that we got out housing assignment for Texas!!! We have a two bedroom apartment. It is unfurnished, but Melissa's parents have agreed to let us borrow quite a few pieces of furniture to take with us!!! That works perfectly because we really didn't want to buy anything since we'll be leaving the country as soon as our schooling is complete. : )

Please continue remembering us to Dad. As we can promise we are doing for you. Keep in touch!!! We love you!!!
