50 days to go!

Dear Jason,     
In 50 days I am
going to be your lil wife.
From the very beginning,
I knew that I wanted to be yours.
I remember those first few months
where I only dreamed that you
would ever notice me.
The dance was the first time
I knew that you really liked me.
You asked me to dance
and we did.
Under the stars.
Bare feet in the grass.
You didn't let go of my hands.
And you didn't stop looking at me.
Your heart was in your eyes.
It was a night fairy tales are made of :)
Once we were engaged.
It was as if the Lord had given me
more than I could have ever
dreamed when
He gave me you.
 
We have fun together.
Big things.
Like Parasailing.
Little things.
Like picking rocks
and me tripping into
deliberately being put
into mud puddles THREE TIMES!
It was fun :)
Those are the things
 memories
are made of :)
I love your smile :)
Did you know that you smile
a special smile
just when you look at me?
It makes me melt :)
 I am amazed over and over again
by how patient you are.
These last few weeks have been hard
but you haven't left.
You haven't given up on me.
You love me in spite of knowing me.
It blows my mind.
 I am ready to be your wife.
I am so tired of having to say good bye.
Of watching you drive away.
But soon ,oh so soon,
we won't ever have to say good bye
and drive away again!
I.
Can't.
Wait!
 I can hardly wait.
I am so excited about
being able to serve my Jesus
by your side
for the rest of my life
God willing!
I have so much to learn.
I am so undeserving of a man of God like you.
But I am excited.
Because I get to learn and grow
by your side.
Oh how I pray that I will be the
wife God calls me to be.
I can hardly wait till you
are my main responsibility
instead of trying to balance
work, school, wedding planning,
family, friends, Bible studies, etc...
Not saying I don't love most of those
responsibilities but I am
ready to not have to worry about quite
so many and just focus on you :)
My prince.
My hero.
My God-send.
My playmate.
My lover.
My best friend.
When God made me
He was thinking about you!
You are perfect for me.
You are beyond what I could have
ever dreamed or imagined!
God is amazing!
I love you with all my heart!
God help me to love you more!
Love,
Your Girl,
Katy Soon to be Hollands :)

All photo credits go to my
amazing friend Rebecca.
Check out her blog here:
Rebecca and I met through
our blogs and she has become such
a dear friend since :)
She is also engaged and I don't know
what I would do without her
to laugh and cry with :)
I am so blessed by her friendship even though
we haven't even met in person!
These beautiful pictures
were her wedding gift to me :)
My favorite one so far!
I can hardly wait
to get them printed off and put in a picture frame :)
Love you girl <3:)

What a sweet letter of love to your man. I pray you always remember how enamoured you are with him. I pray you respect him even when he doesn't deserve it. I pray you hold your tongue more than nought. I pray you never talk badly about your husband in front of anyone other than God, He knows your heart anyway and who better to share frustrations with. I pray you hold nothing back and have no inhibitions when it comes to the marriage bed. I pray you let things role off your back and you are not easily offended. I pray you forgive quickly and that you don't hold grudges. I pray you smile and laugh and let your husband know he is funny and fun and keep things light hearted. I pray you are blessed with children and that they come to the Lord early. I pray you are a good helper to your man, and that he loves you like Christ loves the church. I pray he gets to know you inside and out. Amen.
