Going Home this Weekend!

I am going home this weekend for Chalise's wedding (one of my dear friends from college). I am so excited to see the beautiful bride and see some of my college friends I haven't seen since my wedding or since I graduated. I get sad sometimes thinking about not being able to be with my dearest friends, but very grateful that even if I don't talk to my

bestfriends everyday, we can pick up right where we left off. That is when you know you are truly dear friends. I am very thankful for new friends though, but miss my friends from home and college. 

I am also very excited to see my family, even though it will be a very short visit. I was supposed to see my family a few weeks ago here in NC, but my dad had an accident and my mom and dad weren't able to come. I am so thankful my dad is okay, even though he is still in pain. I haven't seen my family since June and I am very very anxious to see my parents, sister, brother in law, and my precious beautiful niece!!!!! It is always so precious to see my family. I cherish every second I am with them. I pray that the Lord will bring Jess and I closer to them, but want to follow God's plan for Jess and I. 

I will miss my sweet husband while I am gone. It is so painful to leave him and I feel so empty inside. I always get so scared something is going to happen and I won't be there for him or he won't be there if I need him. I am trying to not worry and trust in the Lord. If anyone thinks about it, please pray the Lord will bring me home safely to my husband. 

I will post how my weekend with my friends and my family went. 

Blessings,
