Mr. and Mrs. Mac,
Today is officially two days before you close on your first home together. Mr. Mac's parents have been so wonderful over the past year. You guys have worked hard and saved money. You have learned so many things about yourselves as individuals and as spouses to each other.
The first half of the year was kind of par for the course. Nothing too exciting happened. You were both busy with work and having fun! There was a health scare that turned out to be nothing. That brought you two closer and you relied so deeply on God and each other. You are building a strong foundation for your marriage, and God is always the focal point. You have both learned how to pray together this year...don't ever forget that, as it truly a gift.
In June you celebrated your one year wedding anniversary!! Man how time flies! You went for a nice dinner and stayed the night in a hotel room....complete with champagne and strawberries :) So romantical :)
In July you all took a family vacation to Disney World. It was sooo much fun and a trip you will remember all your life. Hopefully the next time you go...you will have an extra passenger...or two :) In August you all traveled to Houston for Charlie's wedding, and stayed in the most beautiful house EVER!!! Again great memories were made with our entire family.
In August you put your first offer on a house together! The house was a short sale, and at the time was no problem. You were willing to wait it out. Well four months later that deal fell through. Mrs. Mac was a HOT MESS to say the least, but Mr. Mac was right there to pick you up and put you back together. Then within 48 hours you went from not getting a house to being under contract on "the one"!!! This house was a fix n' flip and it is perfect for you guys. You drive by almost every day to check up on it and any work that is being completed. Giddy doesn't even begin to express your feelings. You have lists and lists of things to do. Mrs. Mac has turned into some crazy decorator lady, and Mr. Mac is Tim the tool man Taylor himself, always thinking of projects he can do. You are so blessed to have the family and friends you do...they are all so excited and supportive of you. You would not be here without them. Always remember to thank God for that support and encouragement.
In two days you will move out of Mr. Mac parent's house and into your very first home together. This is a new chapter for you. Life will change over the years, and your current home may change too. But always remember this: that God is always in control, His timing is perfect, His answer to prayers is sometimes NO, His plan for you is perfect. You are each other's best friend and the perfect yin and yang...keep God in the center, and enjoy the journey of life!
Love,
Mrs. Mac -2011-
