life
I am not sure if life could get much more stressful or crazy. Last weekend Karen got pnumonia which was complicated by her disability. Tim and I spent Friday through Monday in the hospital with her. Then Debbie, my youngest sister went into aniphylatic shock because of an allergic reation to something as yet unknown. So we took her to the hospital on Monday to get her help. Tuesday I didn't go to work so I could rest and be with Debbie in the hospital. But my parents came down to also be with Debbie so that was a huge relief. Tim worked Tuesday and Wednesday and spent the rest of the week in Houston with his mom, who eventually made a decent enough recovery and left the hospital on Thursday. I came down with a sinus infection so I stayed home on Friday and Saturday but on Sunday Tim's grandma had a heartattack so I went back to Houston. I was really scared for her but she is in the hospital now. It just seems like a lot is going on. Tim's birthday is on Sunday. We are going to celebrate together, tonight and then on Sunday we will celebrate with his family.
It is 5 months until Tim and I get married. I still don't have a dress and so I need to work on that for a bit. We also need to work on our invitations and guest list. I am so excited about getting married. It is such a huge commitment and I feel the weightyness of it in my heart. But the best thing is knowing that I only have to be a reflection of God's love for Tim and pour out unconditional love on Tim. I am trying to do that now, learning not to load him down with all my expectations, but rather give up all my expectations and love him regardless of what he does or says.
I hope that things will calm down for a while and I hope that December will come quickly. I can't wait for a vacation and to be married!
