Mrs. Jarrod Cansler...in less than a month :)

It is hard to believe that our wedding day is now just under a month away.  It has at times seemed like it would take FOREVER to get here but at others like the year has flown by. 

Now is the time to start letting go completely of my life in DFW that I have had for the last 8 years and look forward to my new life with my new husband.  I can't wait.  Are there things I am sad to let go of...ABSOLUTELY!! 

I think the hardest part is the people I am leaving behind but thank goodness for sites like Facebook that will allow us to stay in touch.  I couldn't even imagine what it would have been like just 20 years ago when the phone was really your only constant communication let alone 100 years ago when you didn't even have that.  I recently read a book with my students about a girl that left her home in Germany to come to Texas back in the 1800s.  The family she left behind, she left behind forever.  I am so thankful that I do not have to do that.

There are also several things that I will miss.  I will miss my church home here and the wonderful group of ladies that I have met with weekly to grow spirtually with over the last two years.   I will miss going to Texas Rangers games although Jarrod has said that at some point we will have to come back for those on occasion.  I will miss all the concerts I have attended but know that these singers come to Arkansas too!  :)  There are some local restaurants I will miss. 

Lots of things that I will miss but on the other hand, I so much look forward to the new adventures and the new favorite things I get to discover with my husband.  It's crazy to even say that word and realize that I will soon have one...and not just any old husband...the best possible husband any girl could even hope for.  I am so lucky in the man that God has provided for me.  Jarrod definitely makes the long wait 100% worth it.   I absolutely cannot wait to be his wife and begin our lives together!!

Please continue to pray for us as the move begins and the job hunt continues.  It would be great if God would provide a job before our wedding but we'll be patient and wait on his time either way.
