and the two will become one....

i have been single for about 6 years, terry about 3 years. we have both become used to the world revolving around "me". we don't have answer to anyone about how we spend our money, what color we paint the house, where and when we vacation, what movie to watch - the list is endless. everything is "mine". reality is setting in that in about 5 months it will no longer be about "me" but about "us". all those decisions we have become used to making on our own will now involve another person. old habits due hard they say..... we are making every effort now to include each other in the decision making process. to say "we" and "us". to refer to the trailer as "our" home, "our" camper, "our" truck, "our" dogs! (notice i didn't quite include "my" car yet). we have both become rather set in our ways, but we are learning to be patient with each other as we sort this out.
the biggest one, is our plan for the future. that's a tough one. i generally know where i'm going and how i'm going to get there. but its not about 'me' anymore. neither one of us has a clear vision of where God is taking us. sometimes we find that a bit scary. but we are confident that when the timing is right He will reveal it to us. for now, we believe He wants us to concentrate on planning our wedding, doing our pre-marriage counselling and just enjoying the next few months.
i am enjoying seeing the world as a couple and not two individuals. its new, its exciting, i'm loving every minute of it.
