*Home

Colby and I have been forced to put off so many of the wedding plans because we can't plan anything specific until we get our letter back from the first presidency. It's been incredibly stressful to not have a time at the temple scheduled or to put off making invitations because we aren't sure which temple will have a time available. We can't book a luncheon because we have no idea what time we'll be done at the temple. Oh so stressful.
Although we've been thinking and talking about it a lot, the last thing on our list was finding a place to live. We figured as long as everything else was working out on it's own time, this huge important detail could wait and would get taken care of eventually. Secretly it was stressing both of us out but we didn't talk about it much, there are other things that are much further up the list than where we would call home.
I got a text message from one of my dearest friends just under a week ago. She's moving and in hopes of helping the landlady out, she asked if we would be interested in checking out her apartment. We were incredibly excited but along with everything else, we didn't get our hopes up to high. We finally had a chance to take a quick look on Sunday while we were in the area. Sierra was so sweet to let us in and even took us to see another one of the 4 apartments in the house so we could see the selection. We tried to keep our composure but as we walked through to two places we kept squeezing each other's hands in excitement. As we walked to the car grinning from ear to ear, we talked about how perfect it was for us. We were about a mile and a half down the road when I text her and told her we'd take it!
It's so funny to me still how much the Lord knows and loves us. This has lifted such a huge weight off of our shoulders. The timing has been nothing short of perfect for us. Right as Sierra and her sweet husband move out, we'll be ready to move it. We can have our whole house set up before we get married. With engagements and finding a home in 2 days .. things are finally starting to feel real. Two more months and we'll be The Carters.
Thanks Sierra, you are the sweetest. The Lord sent you as my angel and you will never know how much you helped us out. We owe you guys so big. BBQ this summer?? :)
