Our blog-friend Jen, who was a confirmed and happy single when she first appeared on the blogosphere, recently began seeing “Beau”.
Today Jen used the “M” word in a post!
OK, folks. Here’s the deal:
1. Beau and I are in love. *and there was much rejoicing*
2. We are pretty certain that we will be getting married. By pretty certain, it’s at about 100%. However…
3. There are a lot of logistics that need working out.
We’re trusting God to help us figure out what needs doing to make it all work out. Who will look for a new job, where should we live, etc. We don’t want to get ahead of God’s timing – He has a plan, we just need to get clued in on what that is and we’re not sure about that yet.
I was hoping to hold off on posting this until I had met his family, which is scheduled for next week when his parents come back from their vacation in Ireland. The plan is for my parents and I to meet his parents, sister and family, and brother and family for dinner. (Yes, I’m taking my parents along for moral support and as deflection, too. I figure they should go ahead and meet the future in-laws while they’re on the east coast. Dad joked that otherwise they may not meet until the wedding. Ha ha.)
So know this:
A. I have not been proposed to officially yet.
B. As such, there is no date set for a wedding.
C. Those who need to know the details will get the details when we know them.
‘Kay?
Jen is a Jen-uinely good person (ha ha ha . . . heh. Pun intended . . . I kill me) – but I digress. Seriously, Jen is a wonderful person with a blog well worth reading. Pray for her and Beau as they continue to take steps toward the second most important decision a person can make in this life.
Congratulations Jen!
Very happy for those crazy kids. (Even though they’re both older than me.)
toward the second most important decision a person can make in this life.
The most important is choosing the right long distance provider, right?
Dang it, I keep forgetting you’re a Calvinist . . .
🙂
Oh, that wasn’t the direction I was going with that joke. I was just trying to be funny!
Is “funny Calvinist” an oxymoron? 😉
Oh, I thought you were calling me out for suggesting we have a part in the decision making process.
And you’re the funniest Calvinist I know 🙂
Thanks! Love you guys and your antics. Thanks for the prayer especially.
Beau goes to a Reformed Baptist church – as a Free Willer, I’m a little afeared for my first visit with the Calvinists next weekend. 😉
I’m SO happy for you, Jen!
That’s awesome!
Are calvanists funnier than clown fish?
(I’m watching Nemo right now, sorry.)
