we are both a little disappointed right now. a really cool opportunity sprouted in front of us yesterday and we both we so happy and delighted that something might finally happen for us in the area of finding somewhere to live. but alas, it was not so. an offer that was made in haste was sadly misunderstood and therefore we are left with discouraged hearts.
the only thing we can rely on is the Lord. although it looked like we were "there", we are not and we will continue along this path until we find where we are supposed to be.
please pray for our sad hearts. we built ourselves up for this one and the let down is proving an extremely rough way. also pray that we will find not only a place to live and call home but also that this week would come with extremely good news about Rob's recent interview and my new job prospects would open up immensely.
thank you for all your love and support. it means more than you know.

time is speeding by
well the time truely is slipping away from me and i can't seem to get everything done that has to be done. Rob and I have been looking at apartments and there are two that we are interested and if all goes well with some leads on jobs that we both have had lately there is a huge hope that we will be able to move in very near to the wedding! we are very excited to start this new chapter of life together and how better to start than by establishing a home together.
the past week has been filled with craziness. things that should never have been said, things that we couldn't be more grateful to hear, seeing and spending time with friends that we love and adding on top of it all, lots and lots to do. We have been in constant prayer together and honestly i am very happy that we have had some of the stress lately because we have started to rely on each other and not only that but lean on the Lord together. it really is a marvelous thing that we are learning and i believe that we both are excited about our new and improved relationship.
we also have started marriage counseling. it is very encouraging to hear about a marraige that has had its ups and downs and yet through it all has withstood everything. it is also nice to hear the husband of that marriage say that is is all because and only because they were so reliant on the Lord together and they always seek Him first. very cool and a really awesome example for Rob and i. we have some homework to do between now and our next meeting and i am excited to see how we will continue to learn and grow together.
i went in for a dress fitting and to see the alterations that we had made to the dress and honestly it is the most BEAUTIFUL dress that i have ever seen. i mean for me at least. i think everyone thinks that about their own dress :) i was feeling so nervous and anxious about the changes we were making and the Lord provided once again. i walked out of the fitting feeling completely calm and worry-free. a very very nice alternative to my previous nerves. all in all i can't wait to wear it on the day of!
the day after my fitting i went in for my hair and makeup trial with the cutest girl ever. Brenda is perfect for us. she is calm yet bubbly and is very good at what she does. my makeup turned out perfectly and though we did not end up going with what i had initially thought with my hair, i love what we decided on and i think that it will be perfect for my dress and my personality. YAY.
what else what else is new? tomorrow is the last day for RSVP's in the mail and we still are waiting to hear from about 130 people. so if you are one of them, here is a gentle reminder haha. please send them my way :) i love getting the RSVP cards out of the mail everyday. what a simple thrill. i am seriously going to have to get a hobby after this wedding ends! haha
tomorrow, mom and i are going to our final flower appointment and i can't wait to see what they have cooked up for us. we get to see all of our arrangements (the different types) and tell her all the final details! wow i can't believe it is getting so so close - only 22 more days. OH MY. that just hit me right now. WOAH.
I AM GETTING MARRIED IN 22 DAYS! thank the Lord!
well for now i think that is all that i have to report. we have some fun things planned for the wedding and we can't wait to share this coming day with everyone that we love! especially each other - the new husband and wife! crazy!
until next time you must listen to this everyday. enjoy!!

36 and counting
well i absolutely cannot believe that in 36 (and 1/2) days i will be mrs. rebhan. i am thrilled every time i think of it, let alone tell someone about it! we have so much to do yet, but little by little we are rounding the corner to the finishing line and making our final decisions. some things that we have to decide on are still quite big but the rest of every thing is more about finding the time to do it in. working as much as i am right now is really limiting my time spent on finishing jobs that i still have to get done. menus, programs, escort cards, table arrangements, etc are just some of the things that are still on my to-do list. wish me luck!
we sent out our invitations on Friday of last week (the 5th) and we have already gotten responses back. i can't believe how on top of things some people are. teach me please! our guest are topping out at a whopping 17 people right now haha. i hope more show!
the Lord has been keeping my heart at peace, though i am starting to feel myself depend more upon my own will and plan which has never worked before so i am trying to dedicate myself to patience and prayer. the Lord will provide for us because He says He will. there is nothing more to it than that.
our biggest life decisions right now are dependent on Rob finding a job, which i am more than confident in, and finding somewhere to live. there are a couple companies that Rob is talking with right now and though that means nothing in the form of a "yes. please work for us" it is certainly encouraging. he is an amazing man and i complete confidence in the way he will lead me and our family in Christ. he is so faithful. please keep him (and us) in your prayers when you think of it. we know that we are surrounded with a wonderful support system of believers and we depend on each and everyone of you.
as a wife-to-be i am becoming desperate for a home to settle into. we havealmost everything a young couple could ever wish for. ever. and i can't wait to start building a home that Rob and I can come home to and feel comfortable in. what a great joy it will be to live with him and be able to simply snuggle on our couch and watch some silly movie. that sounds amazing. for now i will wait and it will be even more sweet and exciting when it finally comes to pass!
on Saturday the 6th (just this Saturday past) all of my mom's and dad's family were in town along with some very wonderful and close friends to celebrate with me at a wedding shower. it was a terrible day with weather but it was wonderful in every other way. i even had all of my bridesmaids with me, which has never happened before. it was perfect! my aunts know me so well and it was everything that i could have asked for. how blessed i am to have a family that loves me so much. (i will post pictures from the day at another time.) Rob and i have so much stuff haha. it is all very strategically stored under his lofted bed and in his basement and in my house. it is becoming overwhelming! we can only stop and thank each and every person who was generous enough to support us with a gift for our future life!
life is hectic but i am staying in prayer for peace and joy through every preparation.
Proverbs 16:9 - the mind of a man plans his ways, but the Lord directs his steps.
goodbye for now.
