It's Here.

May 2009 is here.  The month we’ve been hoping in and planning around since August 2004.  That hope hasn’t failed us, but the planning part, well… (Insert sarcastic laugh here).  We have been continually reminded that we can’t really plan our future.  We can only prepare for it.  Matt will receive his hard earned degree from Baylor on May 15th, but when we wake up on May 16th, your guess is as good as mine as to how life will unfold.  The past few weeks have possibly shed some light on what the future will be, but nothing is set in stone.  That is half exciting and half frustrating.  Exciting because it gives us lots of opportunity to trust God’s plan.  Frustrating because we can’t give anyone a definite answer about anything when it comes to making plans with them.  Months of replying to various logistical questions with “We don’t know,” can be taxing on us and others.  The bottom line is, we just don’t know.  And we ask for your patience and understanding as we wait only with pencil marks on our calendars.  We’ll be sure to let you know when we can start using ink J

I have to repeat what dear Peg said, "Beautifully written!" We are so excited to watch your future unfold; we know that it will be very exciting and blessed. You have worked so hard together to get to this point and you will continue on this adventure in a beautiful marriage. God Bless you both!
