In the van on the way home from our Belgium trip, Russell suggested that we begin having devotions together, so we started that on Friday morning. After reading our Bibles together, we shared our stories about how God told us we are going to get married. I mostly shared my story, since Russell had generally told me his on Wednesday night. I showed him parts of my journal, and something I wrote threw him for a loop. Then he told me something that threw me for a loop. We were both surprised to discover that our hearts are burdened about something--the exact same thing. We sat there feeling a little shocked and excited. It was just more proof to me how God has been leading us along, merging our two paths into one for the future He has in mind. Without ever talking about it, both my mom and Russell's dad have had this same strong feeling as well. I'm almost sure there will be more on this subject at some point in the future, but for now it is between Russell, myself, and the Lord.
After spending a few days together, we decided it was time to let our family and friends in on the big secret. So, we spent some time writing emails and sending out pictures. That day it seemed that the phone was ringing off the hook, emails began pouring in, and our blogs' Feedjit went ballistic with visitors.
Russell and I had discussed some general wedding plans when we were kayaking on the river on Thursday. After walking home from the grocery store with Mom, we got a few more details working out and settled on the month of April for our wedding date. Russell and I made tacos for dinner, and we got to eat on the patio in the backyard again.
