A Thousand Reasons Why I Love You.

*Picture courtesy of Lanna Johnson..our engagement photos 12.06)

There are a thousand sets of a thousand reasons why I love you Daniel.

Let me start by saying there's no one like you. You are the most selfless man I know. You love me so much--so much in fact, that if you never said those words, I'd still know.

You encourage me to be my best self. You won't let me settle for second best. You push me to be the most I can be.

You are sensitive in a way that makes me have a conversation with God that goes a little bit like this, "God, I don't deserve this man....he could have had anyone...and chose me."

I love it when you are singing your favorite rap song (probably by Tupac, Trick Daddy or Twista)...and you curl up your upper lip to make yourself a little more gangsta'.

You are patient beyond patient. When I don't deserve it, when people that abuse your kindness don't deserve it...and for those in need of Jesus.

On multiple occasions you have sacrificed for others. I mean, what kind of person is willing to forfeit getting their own raise to make sure those that are getting paid hourly get an increase first?

I love that you line dance ...and you teach me how. It makes me laugh when you wear those crazy high cowboy boots (to church:).

...and that puppy dog look you give me when I pick on you or I'm super sarcastic...like it hurt you...and well...you know I can't take that sweet look.

You drive when we're both tired...but you let me sleep.

Thank you for encourage me to follow our calling and our dreams.

Daniel, there are a million more reason why I love you. You're the kind of guy that deserves a standing ovation for the man that you are. You forever have this heart.

Yup....through good times and bad...I'm going to love Daniel forever. This is one of Elliot Yamin's new songs from his newly released self-titled album. Lyrics...below. I love you Daniel.

I'm gonna mind what my momma once told me
Don't fall in love if you can't fall all the way
She said go find yourself a dream girl give her every part of your world
Just hold on tight and never let her slip away
And when I saw you that rainy night in Cleveland
You lit me up like the sun lights up the moon
And that feeling I felt then
Every day it comes again
Yeah it fills my heart completely
You mean everything to me

And I'm in love with you forever
I'm in love with you forever
I'm in love with you forever till I die
We're always going to be together
I'm never gonna leave you never
I'm in love with you forever till I die
Rain or shine
I am yours, you are mine

My mind don't change with the weather
It will stand through the wind and the hurricanes
All around we can see love ain't all it used to be
But that just make smy heart grow stronger
It just makes my love last longer

And I'm in love with you forever
I'm in love with you forever
I'm in love with you forever till I die
We're always going to be together
I'm never gonna leave you never
I'm in love with you forever till I die
Rain or shine
I am yours, you are mine

And you are mine, yeah
Cause you are mine, oh yeah
I said you are mine, ohhh

(repeat chorus)

You are mine

Adventures in Marriage....

Saturday will be 2 weeks for Daniel and I ....and we just can't believe how quickly time has passed by! It's like, 2 weeks before the wedding you are running in slow motion...and after...well...you lose track of time.

Last night Daniel and I continued our decorating of the house. It's turning out quite nicely. Pix to come soon! We also have fabulous news--we found out just before the wedding that we were going to be an Aunt and Uncle to his sister, Rachel & Matt's baby. Want the story (they adopted...its just beautiful)? Go here for part one and here for part two, three & four.

Well....we are looking forward to tonight...we have friends & family from Columbia coming up to have dinner at one of our favorite spots, Red Robin, tonight.

One of the reason's my husband is so great.....click here.

Also...congrats to Jeff & Amy brink...who are expecting a bundle of joy on October 31. (Jeff is one of Daniel's best friends...)

ADDITION TO BLOG AT 10:18 am...I just read this post...that I got from LB's link....read it. Powerful.

So can you actually believe that I've stolen a moment away? I woke up at 6:00am (after getting to sleep after 1 am sometime. It's been great...I can't believe how quickly and how smoothly everything has gone by. Daniel and I have been relaxed and non-stressed this whole time...thanks to our friends and our family.....

So....at 2pm Daniel and I say, 'I Do' and then we are off....to our honeymoon destination point one!

Thanks to EVERYONE who is helping to make our day such a special one.

Hope for Me Yet...

I love that song. Marc Broussard =musical tastiness!

"If you could love someone like me....
There's no end to the possibilities....
Hopes and dreams push away the pain and regret....
'Cause loving you lets me know...there might be hope for me yet..."

So the countdown is on. Daniel and I get married NEXT WEEKEND! I can't believe how quickly time has passed! For those of you planning weddings...here's a couple of places I'd like to HIGHLY reccommend:

Flowers: The Fresh Market (they are so cheap and so good. It'll save you a ton!)
Pictures: MeWha Photography . She's so good. Period. She's from Georgia....but will travel ANYWHERE. (If you are viewing her site with a MAC, it's not formatted for us...)
Video: Michelle Wheeler . Easy to work with, prompt and turns out great products.
Catering:Mike Clair. Food is going to be SLAMMIN' FYI...a sit down dinner is cheaper than hoer deurves...in my research.
Registry: Bed Bath & Beyond . It's so easy to return there and there is NO limitation on how many returns you can make...Target...only lets you make a limited amount of returns...
Cakes: The Cake Factory. GOOD GOOD cakes. If you don't live near Augusta, GA--your out of luck.
Honeymoons: Still a secret....
Hotels for family: Best Western's are easy to work with

That's the low down.....
