It's pretty much rained all day today. At least its not freezing cold. We started out the day by going to the gym and then came home to get ready for church. Neal started a beef vegetable soup in crock pot which by the way was delicious for dinner tonight.
We haven't been to church since Christmas Eve. While we were eating breakfast, I was telling Neal that I'm ready to see about joining this church and being more involved instead of just sneaking in and out every Sunday. I was having a hard time explaining why to him. Ask and you shall receive. Today the sermon was about how we become so individualized that we forget how important community is. Life is so much better when you do it with other people instead of just staying in your comfort zone. He challenged us to talk to at least 1 person that we didn't know and not just run out after church was over.
After church, we went back to the jewelry store to buy our wedding rings that we found last night. I knew that was the ring last night but wanted to sleep on it to be sure instead of making a huge purchase spontaneously. I really love the ring but the lady who helped us was awesome. She's the first jeweler we've talked to that has actually listened to what I was saying and didn't try to tell me I wanted something else. Now I really can't wait for March 26! Not for the ring. It's beautiful but that's not what its really all about. I'm excited to be able to call Neal "my husband". I'm excited to see what else God has in store for us. I'm excited to start a family. I'm just excited! I've waited a long time for all of this and it still amazes me that this is all really happening.
