13 DAAAYYYYSSSSS!

Happy Sunday, July 26th, familia y amigos!  

We are getting so CLOSE to our wedding day, and are so pumped.  Josh and I are very much ready to start living this life together, and we are thankful that we don't have much longer to wait.  

Things are moving and grooving and flowing and growing!  :)  I will first say, we would not be where we are if it weren't for the many precious people who have helped us.  It takes a village, and we are embracing and indebted to our village.  I've thanked them a thousand times, and I will thank them again and again for loving us so much to pour themselves into making August 8th just what it needs to be.  And I'm telling you, folks, it's gonna be par-tay.  

Two weeks ago, Josh and I were in Lubbock for the lovely Amy & Brian Jones wedding, and it was perfect.  They are absolutely beautiful, and I'm so excited for their sweet life together!  Then we made our way through Tulsa, grabbed bunches of my stuff & Millie (Hester dog/baby), and road-tripped it to Nashville!  We were able to begin getting all of our WONDERFUL gifts settled, and continued to make that house a home.  Josh is home for three days right now, and then the next time both of us see it will be when we come back from our HONEYMOON!  

Now we are on to little details in preparation for this shindig that's going down in less than 2 weeks.  Thank you for reading this, and I will be sure to update once, again, very soon!  Next up... bios of the wedding party! :)

Have a blessed day. 

Much love in Jesus,

Becca & Josh

Happy 5th of July!

Josh and I are very thankful for freedom. 

Freedom in Christ.

Freedom in the country we live in.

Freedom to choose who we want to marry!

Speaking of that... we are getting married in less than 5 weeks!  WOOO!!

I write on this blog, not because our lives are really all that fabulous, but because there are so many precious folks in our lives that we don't get the opportunity to speak with on a regular basis, and we want to fill you in!  

It had been 6 weeks since Josh and I had seen each other-we have vowed that we will never do that again.  FINALLY the day came where Josh and his lovely mother Laura came to Tulsa!  Before that, Josh produced his friend Josh Rosenthal's album, played concerts at various places such as Willow Creek in Chicago, Ft. Jackson in South Carolina (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsI6IYXqCEg), and lead the worship at a youth conference in Orlando, Florida.  I was busy getting wedding details figured out with the help of my precious family and friends, helping at a youth camp, getting my wisdom teeth out, enjoying time at the lake with my family, and writing thank you notes to the wonderful people that have blessed us and showered us with sweet gifts.  It has been a busy summer, but we are so thankful for all of the opportunities God is giving us.

When Josh and Mama Wilson arrived to Tulsa, the party began, celebrating along with my family, our aunts and uncles, cousins, second cousins, and more dear friends.  We had the most wonderful time with all of those that were present, and will be moving to Nashville beyond blessed with what the Lord has provided us through these people. 

         

Josh had the opportunity to play at Rockets Over Rhema here in Tulsa that evening, and it was some good and hot-weathered family fun. He has wrapped up recording for his next CD, and we are excited for it to come out in September!  

We are now getting ready to go be together in Lubbock, where Josh's younger sister will be happily wed on Saturday!  I'm telling you... we are having wedding madness here between the Wilson and Hester households, but it is a great madness.  

Josh and I hope and pray that this finds you doing well, and enjoying your summer.  God bless you, and happy hot weather! 

"Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, 'Go jump in the lake'—no shuffling or shilly-shallying—and it's as good as done. That's why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you'll get God's everything."
