We're Getting Married

THE WEDDING IS 33 DAYS AWAY!!!!

Here's the way I see it. I'm not one of the those girls who had has her whole wedding picked out since she was small or has dreamed about every detail. I am the girl who dreams about all the days after. I am the girl who knew before we were even officially dating that that this is the boy, who turned into a man, that I am supposed to marry. So many things in life are unsure. But when you meet the one person that makes your heart beat to a different rhythm, makes your breath flow in and out a little easier, and gives you a reason to smile just by walking in the room, you know not to let them go. They are your sure thing.

The ebb and flow of life refines and molds us and our love grows as we do. And one day, I hear the four words that were 7 years in the making. In that moment the picture of my life becomes clear. This man that I adore has just asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. It was truly a mountaintop experience. And then your lives become intimately intwined. Planning intensely to begin your life together.

As each day passes and more and more planning moves behind us the picture of our life starts to focus. There is such a beauty found in two lives joining into one. The oneness that will begin on May 27th will change us forever. Words cannot describe the feeling of joyful anticipation to become Mrs. Jonathan Patrick Sykes.

Easter

I always seem to think about Easter more after the day passes. There is such an anticipation of what the church service will be like and all the fuss about food that sometimes there isn't enough time on Easter to think. So my thinking comes a day late.
Grace was examplified on Easter. Like our pastor said, God said, "Dad's coming!!" And He always follows though. God came through for us even though we have stabbed him in the back and pushed Him aside and knew that we would do it again and again. God gave us something we don't deserve and all I can say is that I'm glad He's my Dad. I just stand in awe knowing that no matter what I can do I will always be indebted to Him. But He sacrificed himself because He loves me!
Easter is like opening a favorite present every year. It gives us a time to remember how lost we would be without His sacrifice. So many people say that God doesn't care about them or know what they need, but He does. He knows like a dad, way before His children. And it feels so good just to be His child. I can relax in the Lord because I trust Him.
Easter.

Acoustic Afternoon w/ Josh

Hey everyone! I have a demo! about a month ago Josh Grubb and I layed down two tracks at RexTracks studio in Suwannee. I am working on getting them online so that you can give them a sample. More updates soon!

Here's a picture from last summer. I am just experimenting with the site. All of our recent pictures are still in the camera, and that might overload my computer :(

Here's a Wedding Update...

now that we have taken our engagement pictures, we have to pick out what we want in our guest book. I am still working on finding a florist now that school has subsided. All the guys need to be measured for tuxs before April 27th. AND I have to send out invitations!!! That is number 1 on the list right now. And I should working on them instead of doing this. So, goodnight.

Welcome to the World of Blogging!!

To Whomever It may concern:
Jonathan and I (via me) now have a blogger site. I was inspired by my photographer, Virginia Hall, who used it to keep us up to date with our engagement pictures. I love her! Who ever thought that taking pictures could make a girl so happy.
I hope to make this page where family and friends can stay up to date about our lives.
