I.cannot.believe.it.
So I guess I have some explaining to do from my previous post...I just kinda posted and ran to hide.
Here was the issue...Greg got an email from the Army.
It's subject line read: Reservation Cancelled.
uh.oh.
This could only mean one thing....our perfect schedule was getting messed up...
{and those of you who have dealt with the military know that this happens...a lot!}
His computer has been acting funny so in the evenings when we talk I will check the necessary things that he needs on the internet. So I was the one to see this email. Can you imagine how devasting this was for me?!? I opened the email to find that his class dates were being switched and he was now being sent to his next class on July 7th-Aug. 21st.
Hummm...what falls RIGHT in the middle of that?!?
OUR WEDDING!!!!
I immediately freaked just like any normal bride-to-be would who was just absolutely ESTATIC about marrying the man of my dreams and having Our day! His training classes are very strict..as in no leave and I knew that we couldn't take our chances and hope that he was granted the weekend off. We would either have to a)cancel the wedding and lose tons of $...or b) move the date up depending on the availability of ALL of our vendors {and you brides to be know how hard it is to schedule something during wedding season}. We are 2 months out. I have been putting together this day for a very long time and for once, I'm starting to get over the stress of wedding planning and actually see all my hard work coming together.
I'm sure you guys can tell by some of my posts just how much IN LOVE I am with my fiance. He honestly makes my world a better place...but I also know most of you guys are aware of what kind of hard-work it is to put together a wedding day and how much every girl dreams of it! I do know that ultimately marrying Greg is the #1 thing in my life...but our day was going to be soo perfect, sooo us!
Well, I won't go into all of the details because I'm not so sure that Greg would want me to put them all over the internet...however, he fought long and hard to make it work. And those of you with military experience know that things just don't work very easily. You always have to go around your elbow to get to you know where...anyways.
He did IT!! There is no doubt in my mind (there never really was any) that my Fiance will absolutely do whatever it takes to make me happy and provide for us! Through lots of meetings, emails, prayer, much rejection, phonecalls and being told his wedding wasn't a "compassionate circumstance"..{and even some trouble} my Fiance pleaded his case and we got the dates switched!!! He will now be attending his next phase of training beginning in June and he graduates on July 23rd...hopping on a plane...and marrying ME!!! :)
I would like to take the time to thank my fiance and other men & women who are in the military for all of their hard-work and sacrifice. I would like to say thank you to my fiance for not just making our wedding day possible, but for working hard for our country. I guess this entire {experience}, although it caused me so much stress that I would rather forget about it, did open my eyes to just HOW MUCH military families do sacrifice. There are military men and women all over the world who give up their wedding days, their anniversaries, their Christmas's, their Thanksgivings, their birthdays...the list could go on and on..just so their spouse can serve our country. It did open my eyes to just how AWESOME my fiance truly is for serving. So if you are a military spouse, thank you sooooooooooo much for sacrificing your "special days" for our country. I absolutely not only appreciate your spouse for serving, but you as well!
Your comments honestly kept me sane...thank you!! If you are a bride-to-be or have been before, you can attest to the fact that nerves are on wits-end during these last few months. Reading your thoughtful comments and bible verses honestly keep me from absolutely wanting to just give up. I will admit, I'm a control-freak...and I MUST get over that soon. First off, God is in control and second off, my soon-to-be husband answers to Uncle Sam now. However, I did break down and absolutely think that my world was coming to an end. Your passages that you left on my previous post have been my strength during all of this.
So thank you for reading this blabbled version of what my life has consisted of these past few days...sorry so long and ridiculous and it probably doesn't make any sense! haha!
Let's hope I can get my booty in gear and get back up and running to normal soon!
Love my bloggy friends and I've missed you all! :)
p.s. - God provides!
