It's been a million years since my last post, and with time comes change, lots of it!
Walker proposed to me on my birthday in April (and I said yes!) and that same day I was offered a new job selling jewelry. The job was a ton less stressful than the children's home, and I made good friends with my coworkers. It was definitely a blessing for me at that time. It gave me time to slow down and start planning the wedding.
Well, about four weeks ago, Walker was told on a Wednesday that he was being considered for a new position in management. The next day he was offered the job and they expected him to be in South Carolina the day after that! It was really crazy how quickly things were moving, but it was a great promotion and he had been working hard for it!
The next week, I was visiting family in Michigan when I had the crazy idea to just elope! Even more crazy was the fact that my family totally supported it! That same week, my landlord in Macon called me to tell me that he could no longer extend my rental agreement because he found someone who wanted my apartment. To me, that was assurance from God that I was on the right path.
When I got back to Macon from Michigan, Walker and I packed his house and my apartment. That Tuesday (July 9th) our families met us at the court house downtown and we got hitched! It was a really special day because my parents, my foster brother and my brother all got to be there for me.
The next day, Walker and I packed up the Uhaul and headed to Columbia, SC! Our new home is actually in Irmo, but its just a few minutes from the city.
Walker is loving his new job and I'm loving being his wife, but now I'm on the job hunt again!
As always, I'm praying for discernment.
Walker and I are still having a wedding in October and we are so excited to be able to celebrate with friends and family. We're about two months away from the big day and I've still got a lot to do. I'll be sending out invitations next week (God willing)!
I've been working on a wedding website www.theknot.com/wedding/walker-and-courtney
It's still a work in progress...and so am I!
