...takes commitment!

Today is D-day (March 11, 2011) as my soon to be husband would say! It is about 8:00am here which is about 1:00am Texas time, and I am just a million piles of emotions! I am dressed, waiting for breakfast to be served in my room, and have already been spoiled to death! My lovely soon to be husband booked me a very nice hotel to spend my first night in. The bed was extremely comfortable, there is a full bathroom in it, I felt extremely safe, and I had HOT water this morning! Okay – for those of you who have never been anywhere in Africa – you don’t understand how much of a RARE commodity these things are! I thought I was going to pass out when I realized I got to have a hot shower this morning! Anywho, my African clothing is beautiful! Humphry did an excellent job having my dress made, and we will leave here around 9:00 to head to the council to get married. After this he has planned a reception for us with family and friends! I realized this morning how much I miss all of you, and how sad I am that I don’t have some of the people closest to me here! I didn’t think it would be this hard to be getting married half way across the world, but I MISS my support system! Seriously my head is spinning because I feel like everything is happening very fast. This would be a great time to have a best friend pep talk from Emily! J I had a realization this morning that I am about to commit to be in a relationship for the rest of my life. Wow! This may seem obvious to some people, but if you truly take in the weight of that commitment you realize what a big step this is! BUT it’s okay, I am ready! This is OUR journey, and I can’t wait to see where God leads us! I’ll write details about our wedding and reception later, but just wanted to let you guys all know that I am about to become Mrs. Kayla Nicole Mwake!
