Bring It On
So it's thirteen days until the day
There are times when I'm beside myself with excitement
Others when I'm scared
Still more when I'm content to think of it
But the fact remains
That within me there is a spirit of blind abandon
Outrageous happiness
Undefined calm
I was told the other day
That I look remarkably sane for being so close to it
For being within reach of you
Just a hair's breadth away
And that's all it is, really
I fully intend on making you mine
On letting you make me yours
In committing to you, my life, my love and my trust
The joy
The pain
The laughter
The morning squabbles about you leaving the spoons on the counter instead of in the sink
In learning patience with your driving
In learning to let go of control when it comes to tidying the kitchen
In being your first resort for comfort
In being your strongest pillar of support
And new senses have perked with interest
Coaxed out of slumber by the closeness of everything
The closeness of you
The very near closeness of you
My fingers leave trails of intense color on everything I touch
My thoughts are sunnier
My ambitions honed, sharpened to a fine edge
My circles defined and closed
So it is that I am awakening to the new
Awakening to creation
Soon to wake beside you
To face life and say
Bring it on

It's a great feeling isn't it?!
I hope you and Matt have a great day Arty, and that you can celebrate the amazing gift from God of one another.
We're excited too, though a little snowed under with preparations!!
We'll pray for you as it draws nearer!
