Day 109: 148.

Dang, I can't believe how long it's been since I last wrote. Makes me sad. I'm determined to change it, especially as the wedding gets closer...... speaking of closer..... wow! We've been engaged for 148 days!!! Amazing. I can't believe it's only 109 more days until I walk down that aisle in our church. Whew, talk about a tear-filled day. :-)

Tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 3:00am, Jeramy and I, alongside my parents and two other team members, will be on our merry way to China- to impact the nation! This trip didn't come easy.... lots of prayer, decision-making, fundraising, and prep. I'm actually amazed it's really happening. TOMORROW. This is Jeramy's first mission trip, and just a couple weeks ago he received his first passport in the mail- such a fun thing! I love that we're doing this together. It's going to be an incredible experience for him, and for me as well. Every single mission trip is different. No matter how many I've been on, I KNOW God has new things in store for me to experience, new things to reveal, new challenges to walk me through, and new souls to reach! I can't explain to you how much I've anticipated this moment- to go on a mission trip with the love of my life. God has such cool plans!

The day we return marks the THREE MONTH MARK til the wedding day! AHHH!!! We return on July 22nd. Once we return, I'll definitely be posting more updates.... so stay tuned ;-)

Last week, after much research and conversation, we finally booked our honeymoon (after changing the location at least 10 times.... thanks to my indecisive-ness) We're going to Ocho Rios, Jamaica! Ah, the pictures are so breath-taking. I'm ready and excited for 10 days in paradise with my babe ;-) We'll be pretty busy!!!!! hehehehehe. (that's to gross my sister out when she reads this.)

Although I'm not sure if I REALLY am, I feel like I'm making progress in the wedding-planning. I nailed down the DJ and paid the deposit this week, and now I need to nail down the table rentals. I've decided I really want ROUND tables for the reception, and our church only has 6 of those (I need like 30 or more). I have some different companies I'm looking at. Pricing really isn't too bad.

Ok ok, so I'll end this. I probably won't have time to write again until we're in China, but for the first week where we are staying does have internet, so if we get time, I'll updated you all :-)

Thanks for being part of the journey! We appreciate any prayers you can give while we're on this trip.

Love you all,
Kathleen
