Dum, dum, de, dum. . .

That was my attempt at the wedding march.  Sadly, that is probably closer to the melody than if I sang it!  As my big day approaches (a week from Saturday-9 days, but who's counting?), I find myself finishing last minute details. . .  Today I went to the dentist.  I made an appointment for an oil; change.  And every time I cross something off my list, I think, "This is the last time I will do this. . . as Sarah Herbert."  It sounds so morbid, almost as if I am dying.  

But then, I remember that in a way I am.  At my shower, my friend Beth said it well.  It's not two people coming together and taking two pieces to make a new whole.  Marriage as a believer is creating something new together.  We used to be two single people, but now we are one family.   A family that will be built one day at a time, by the grace of God.  It's pretty cool. . .

Please pray for me as each day brings me one day closer to our new family.
