surrounded by love

this morning as i was getting ready to have breakfast with marcia, i had this thought...k and i are so surrounded by love.

last week i wrote about figuring out how to truly receive love...and i think we're learning.

as we're planning this wedding, we've come across some of the most helpful people. we have so many people who are excited about our wedding that they actually might compete with our excitement! alright, they won't, but i'm just saying we have some excited folks.

k's friends at the joslyn are helping with the layout of the reception.
my bff jason is helping with our save the date cards.
drew at oxide is coming along for the invitation portion of our wedding.
jess is baking a lot of yummy cupcakes.
jess also volunteered her boyfriend's dj skills for the wedding.
we're getting some kick-a$$ photography from some dear friends.
our engagement photos will be done by three different people.
my hair is getting done for free by my hairdresser of four years.

we're so excited and excited to share in this with so many friends.

this past sunday at church, father ron's wife came up to me and held my hand and told me that she wants to throw us a couple's shower. i haven't thought a ton about showers, i'm not sure if i'm supposed to, ergh, am i? i don't think so. anyway, she proceeded to tell me how excited she was to open their home and throw a themed shower for us for a room that we needed things for.

she wrote me the following email and it totally made my day.

We're so glad to be hosting your shower. I'm thinking a Saturday afternoon - dessert and coffee sort of thing. Does that sound like a good plan? You two pick the date and we will "play". Can't wait to get into mischief.
Love,
name

i'm in love with love today. and tomorrow. and forever.
